The pump action shotgun today?

[Kutnupe14]

I love my Rem870 but haven't been able to shoot it for a couple of years now with my shoulder issues. Hopefully I'll be able to again some day.

I love that thing.

Do they require a good dutch over?

I think this is a typo, but I'm not sure if he meant:

Dutch Oven

or..

Dutch Lover

^^^Nice looking gun.. love those short barrels.

Mossburg 500 20" loaded with federal flight control 00 buck for me. 7 rounds in the tube, 6 on a side saddle and one in the chamber...if thats not enough then I had no chance anyways.

I keep telling myself to buy a cheap AR. I own 1 AR and people keep telling me I need a spare. But truth is the AR just doesn't trip my trigger. Don't get me wrong they are fun to shoot but if given a choice I would go with my shotgun. AR is in the safe while I keep 2 different 870s handy. Instead of a second AR I picked up a 20 gauge mossberg 500 Bantam and 18" barrel.

Someday when western civilization is consumed by zombies I figure you will find an 870 and 1911 next to whatever is left of my corpse.

I spend some time up in the mountains, so I keep an 870 handy for big problems. I cut my teeth on an 870, shot my first deer with one, I will probably always have one. I keep Brenneke Black Magic Magnums in mine.

Thanks, I do to. When the law was changed I went on the hunt for a factory 870 SBS (I hate engraving my name/info on guns) and was lucky enough to stumble across this one pretty quickly. Wish I could shoot the danged thing.

I remember you posting pics around that time. I've just been lazy, but I'd like to mimic that setup. Minus the flippy floppy sling.

I am a believer in the Moss 500, 5shot + 1 tube for my personal use. I added the Magpul stock, and kept the front piece as a Tactical with the Mossberg strap affixed. Sidesaddle installed. 18 1/2 in bbl and a clip on Hi Viz sight works great. Working on a TLR-1 set up and will be complete. I installed the quick release stud/bracket for my sling to use, I formerly had Entry Training, and the sling has some merits. At home it usually gets removed. Ammo: Cross loaded Slug vs 00 Buck, and same on sidesaddle. Would like some #4 tactical, seems like stores don't carry a lot of it. AR 15: Had one for years, carried one in a Squad. Good firearm, never fired mine except quals. Don't have one anymore. Am looking again since prices dropped.

A pump shot is a must have for me, if I had to choose one gun it would be a 12g pump gun.

 

[rugertoter]

There is no reason a pump action shotgun would be less lethal today, than it was back in WWI. The Germans filed a formal complaint that our side was using them to great effect. The shotgun will always have it's place.

Don't make fun of my flippy floppy.

Don't make fun of my flippy floppy.

I ran a single point on my RRA, until I went on my first K9 track. Now up until the end of my career, I was always my K9 team's third... but that first one must have been 4 or 5 miles, through streams, brush, and over every type of fence you could think off. That damn single point beat the hell out of me, and when the track ended, and we had to walk back, it beat me up some more. I switched to 2 point, and never looked back. Cinch that baby to you chest and hoof it back.

 

[phylodog]

I'm not a fan of dedicated single point or dedicated two point slings, I like the convertible versions. You just can't see the forward sling adapter because it's on the right side of the gun. Single point when I've got two hands on the gun, 2 point when I can't.

I think #1 FC is now what the coolest of the kewl run. It's actually pretty impressive in testing, extremely consistent including in intermediate barrier testing.

That said I'm still using 00 FC. The differences are angels dancing on the head of a pin.

I like FC #1 buck. I have shot #1 in a H&K 512 (Franchi). I think the 512 was designed to use #4 buck because of the shot spreader. I saw a picture of a 512 with the adapter shot off the barrel using 000 buck. #1 buck is as large as I am willing shoot in a uncommon shotgun.

After reading this thread, I have a confession. I hate pump shotguns! There, I said it.

The last pump I had was an 870 Wingmaster, .410. That was 14 years ago. I have never owned a 12G pump. I only own one shotgun, and it's 20G O/U.

 

[Vigilant]

M 870 and 590 are in the very back of the safe, I sooo love my M1S90. One of these days, when the zombies come(and they will), I'll pull the pumper out of the safe!

I've never owned a 410! It's ok man nobody likes everything but that's surprising. Don't like the recoil or anything about em?

I think I was just to dumb to remember to rack a pump gun.

I've had several O/U's, and most were 12s, but it just got to the point where the lighter guns became more appealing when I was bird hunting every weekend.

What the hell? There's only one type of long gun I hate... muzzies. And only one type of handgun I hate... those old ass, rickety, antiques that make flintlocks seem reliable..... 1911s
