    Well, perhaps if I promise to bring breakfast tacos and coffee, he'll let me peer through one.

    In the mid-90's HK owned Benelli and they loved select slug drills in their shotgun classes because it showed one advantage of an M1 over a pump. They ran the drill long enough that IMO it turned into a shot show of flinging out buck, grabbing slugs, trying to top up the shotgun, etc. I don't know anyone who had to do it in real life, but DB might. My point being that the ability to select slug easily would be down at the bottom of my shotgun priority list.

    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    Not red dot friendly in the carbine envelope out to 300 yards, or the shotgun envelope of most 0-25, with occasional forays further? Even with my contacts and glasses off, I see a 200 or so MOA dot, which while not aesthetic is quite usable on handgun/shotgun.

    Open sights, a FO front bead, or ghost ring, depending on which work better for you, are the proven shotgun sighting systems.

    Sorry, should have been clearer: astigmatism so that the red dot blooms. In some sense the shotgun equivalent of the LPV on a rifle, I guess.

    I know this has been addressed here and there in past threads, mostly by DB, but what is the predominant thought here regarding slings on shotguns? I don't see the utility for HD or hunting, but I know some instructors require slings.

    I don't know if I'm in the minority or not but personally, I prefer a sling on my 870 for HD. I like the option of transitioning to a sidearm or just not having to put the weapon on the ground if I need to occupy my hands with another task. That said, I can also think of reasons why they may be a liability in HD scenarios so I think it will come down to personal preference and justifications.

    Not sure if there is a single best answer for this one.
