    I use Howies pro tape on my G19 Gen 3, G43 and an old Rossi revolver.
    Very secure grip. I really like it. Makes a huge difference.
    My only issue with it is my fingers can have a bit of hesitation...

    That 3” load of plated #2 buckshot doesn’t pattern very well in my 20gauge from either a IC or Modified choke.
    It also has a lot of recoil.
    I have about 30 rounds of it but have been eagerly...

    I haven’t shot mine since last summer.
    If there was .410 birdshot available locally I’d shoot it more. Ammunition availability is a big problem with 410s the last few years.

    Speaking from an appendix carry standpoint.
    The G26 won’t have as much print from the back corner of the grip which is the usual offender for printing when carrying appendix.

    Gold dot 124gr +P is my preferred load in the 17 and the 19 but out of deference to what I’ve read on this forum I won’t run it out of either of my G48s or my 43.

    Never had any reliability issues with either of them.

    My cast balls are .375 for a .36 Pietta revolver.
    They cut a ring of lead when seated in the cylinder. The balls usually compress and swell on firing to get up to rifling diameter.

    By my calculations this load will have about 2/3 the recoil of a 8 pellet reduced recoil 00 buckshot load.
    Seems like the recoil in a lighter 20 gauge frame should be similar to a soft shooting...

    Caleb just posted a short gel test.
    The H&R mag snub didn’t expand through heavy clothing. But it did tumble twice and get out to 16”.
    I think I’d prefer a good sharp wadcutter.

    I installed a Defender Tactical short shell kit on my Shockwave.

    I’m totally pumped.
    The lack of low-recoil flite control in 20 gauge has been holding me back from considering it a viable fighting option.
    When I can order some in Canada I’ll finally get a 20...

    From my informal YouTube research the 170gr bullets tend to penetrate a bit deeper and expand less which makes sense with the lower velocity.

    I’ve been running a .357 Marlin 1894 since 2009. Probably about 2000 rounds through it the vast majority of which were reloads.

    Not really.
    But the gun is bigger and heavier.
    There’s something so cool about a slim little 410.
    I prefer 5x000 over 15x #4 personally.
    8 rounds is nice over 4 though.

    Nice looks like it’s holding a pretty good spread out to 15yds.
    I like your setup. Too bad we don’t have a forearm light option for the 410 models yet.

    They have one for the 20 gauge already so fingers crossed.
