Sent this to my wife and her response was, "SPLOOSH. BUY ONE."
The one advantage of a shotgun loving wife? I almost never have to justify buying a shotgun to her. She loves absurd shotguns and frankly, anything that fires shotshells.
And I agree, as the owner of both a 12" 870 SBS and a 14" Benelli M2 SBS.
The Browning Auto-5 I have was made in 1934 in Belgium, and will be a replica of the whippit Clyde Barrow carried. It will strictly be for shits and giggles. Lest I be accused of blasphemy, I have a complete set of replacement wood and a barrel that will be altered. The original bits shall remain pristine.
@Dagga Boy and I were talking about this exact topic this week. For the average Earth person, an SBS makes much more sense. But if you are a person who spends a lot of time in extremely confined spaces as your job (inside cars, elevators and the like) then perhaps one of these makes sense. I'm an average Earth person. Darryl's new gig fits the above parameters, and therefore makes sense.
As Uncle Pat (God rest his soul) used to say: "Mission drives the gear train."
I have all the serious conflict-resolution tools I will ever need. An autoloading buckshot slinger with a pistol grip and a short barrel is nothing but a range toy for me. A fun, historical range toy. It shall smite tin cans, and nothing more.
If I end up moving to CT, I will refuse to neuter my BCM AR and will simply sell it here. I'll buy one of these to take with me which will ease my sense of loss. Yes, it is wicked stupid!
Make a good companion to these, yes?
