The majority of people want cheap. I can't count how many gun shop owners have told me that they sell a bajillion Tauruses and HiPoints to offset the Daniel Defense or KAC ARs that hang on the wall...

But there's no reason why you couldn't have a vent rib AND good sights on a shotgun. It's not an either-or proposition. When I say I love vent ribs on a shotgun, it's not saying I want to use a...
Mike's a refreshing breath of honesty, ain't he?
My eye just seems to naturally line up with the rib in a way it doesn't quite do with a plain barrel. Not everyone's works that way, but mine apparently does.
I also find them just old-school...
Right?!? I so desperately want a 1301Tac with a vent rib bbl.
VENT RIB ALL THE THINGS
I went a bit off my usual path and watched "Delicious in Dungeon" based on several friends' recommendations. It legitimately surprised me. It has a lot of the usual exaggerated anime character...
My Grandpap still maintains that Winchester died the day they stopped making the Model 12.
Also lighter, and includes the buffer. Plus, R&D costs money.
FWIW I've been running one of the prototypes for the last year and it's been quite nice, fills all the little gaps and makes a more...
The primary purpose is to reduce LOP even further. I do find that the KickEez thin pad has a nice radius at the heel to reduce snagging when mounting the gun, which is also nice.
To me, the attraction is going to be a lighter-weight, handier platform. Yes, recoil will still be an issue, but with good technique that can be mitigated. The weight of the gun mostly can't, and I...
It's been a while since I handled one of the X22 pads but I seem to recall them being not quite as squishy/cushy as the kickeez pads. I'd have to get my hands on one again to really be sure though.
The ones I've seen have been a little tacky at first, but one session at the range dried them right out and they were fine.
Tim's spot-on with this.
Mag tubes just loosen under vibration over time, it's a thing. Witness mark your stuff, check it frequently, and re-tighten when needed.
And like most marketing things, it's not quite right. For example, it certainly won't have that many #2 buck pellets in it...
I'll have to disagree on that one.
But I'm egotistical like that :D
Yup. Fisher had a big hand in it, apparently, and it shows in a lot of the little touches.
Honestly the only thing I don't care for is the Glock-pattern front sight, because I'm just waiting for...
This was apparently the Year of the Levergun, as just about everyone and their brother was making one.
Things I saw that interested me, in no particular order (well, other than the first one,...
FWIW, I talked to one of the ammo guys at Federal last week at SHOT.
This fellow told me that the 20ga load was engineered specifically to get 12"-15" penetration in calibrated gel, which is why...
I've been running the new Aridus stock adapter for a year or so now, with no complaints. I'm really jonesing for that heat shield. I've not been a huge fan of the Zhukov forend setup simply because...

If your recoil management is solid, you don't need a thick pad. The thinner 'fighting' pad that Kick Eez makes lets you cut another 1/2" off LOP off the gun, which can be mighty handy.
For my entire life, Dad's primary home defense long gun has been an 870 of some flavor.
Oh man I thought this stuff was vaporware. I need to acquire some, it seems
I've long said that the 20ga could be a nigh-ideal defensive shotgun IF the ammo question is fixed the way it has been for 12ga. With 20ga FFC on the horizon, I truly hope that we start seeing the...
This greatly intrigues me. I think, if it's plated and hardened, #2 might have a hope of getting to proper depth, but only time will tell. But this would be so freaking awesome. I need to acquire...
