Home Defense Shotgun (Pic Heavy)

[esrice]

with there buttons? I don't know how to answer that.

Sorry, I could've been more clear.

Pretty much this:

He asked because many lights and lasers for long guns have on/off switches in locations closer to your hands normal location on the weapon for easier access.

Being that its a pump shotgun, it takes both hands to operate the weapon. I was curious how you planned on pulling the trigger, racking the action, and turning a light and laser on and off intermittently with just your two hands, as I didn't see a tape switch. This is something to consider as you get more time behind the gun with your new mods.

I've just got a simle G2 Surefire on my HD 870. Mine is located to where I can hit it with my left hand while on teh fore-end. I"ll only be off it for a split second while racking the slide, so I didn't see a need for a tape switch endcap. On the OP's gun, it looks pretty far forard but maybe he's got Arsenio Hall length fingers!

I have a tape switch for the laser, and i soon plan on getting a fenix or surefire and the tape switch will come with that getting one of those 2 lights. They are also lighter than the INova flashlight I have on it now.

Glad you are happy, sad. However, I must ask, why do you think a heat shield adds anything to the guns? Just curious.

I like a standard magazine tube to keep balance and weight down--you never know how how you may have to keep the gun up.

I like a shorter length of pull stock to aid manipulation and for recoil management.

I like a sling for utility. I know some guys don't like them but I believe the benefits outweight the burdens.

I like a way to keep extra ammo on the weapon, side saddle or as a second choice butt cuff (as others have mentioned get a good one. I like Cold Comfort from Milt Sparks), some guys use both.

You'll learn that the secret of a shotgun is reloading. Practice loading to a dry gun and shoot one, load one and you'll be fine.

Here's how my slide-actions are set up--they are all the old "FBI Model" from Scattergun Technologies: 18" tube, short stock, carry sling (they came with goofy mall ninjy slings but I put on the simple carry strap), Surefire foreend (which has undergone two improvement over the years [not one word about my age]), a side saddle, and I have a trigger job done on all them.

I like the setup I got from TSG. Replaced the hand guard with one that has three rails on it, two on the sides one on the bottom. I mounted my TLR-1 on it and can operate the momentary switch or on/off one handed with the hand that is on the hand guard anyway. Great solution to mounting a light on a shotgun.

I like the heat sheild because it adds a badass look to the gun, but the most important reason is that i like the ghost ring sights that come on the heat shield. I like that the sights are raised a little bit, since a raised front sight would cost more than the heat sheild with the improved sights.

The length of pull is not really a factor for me, as I grew up on my Ithaca Model 37, the Mossberg actually seems to have a short length of pull for me.

Soon my sling mounts will come in, and I can attach a sling to it. I always intended to put a sling on it.

Will you be adding a wreath to the muzzle for the Holidays?

 

[groovatron]

Better make sure you don't fall forward with all that junk on the end of the barrel.



Jeez......I've been reading too many of Jack Ryan's posts LOL.

The wreath has been applied. but its not so much of a wreath as it is a bayonet

 

[JJGatesE30]

not trying to be a smart @$$ or any thing but why do you need a laser on a HD shotgun?

cool factor

Resurection for the new look of the freshly Duracoat job done by INGO's own Matt of Front Towards Enemy Firearms. But I think this is the last gun he is DuraCoating.

Before

After

Done in Duracoats Snow Grey. Gives it that sweet Two Tone look, and when mixed with he heat shield is enough to make you drool with lust.

Yes boys eat your hearts out.

I'm glad YOU like it...

By the way, your sister needs to get her booger hook off the bang switch before you wind up with an unexpected skylight. Savvy?

 

[futureofwar]

Cool for home defense but anything else I wouldn't want two tone, guns are supposed to be sneaky. Who knows though maybe someone will invent a led
strand to wrap the front of the gun and then the robber will really know you have it.

Laser on a shotgun? That is straight mall ninja tactical!

 

[paperboy]

I like the heat shield with the ghost rings....I really like Mossys for a defensive shotgun, I think the safety and slide release are in the perfect spot....
