Not a great picture, but a table full of gauges from Tom Given's Defensive Shotgun class, yesterday.
Very cool, I am sure you folks had an awesome class with Tom!

Alright there Mr. Roll Tide, also took a Tom SG class a few yrs. back, any more pics or perhaps an AAR from yours?
Once again, thank you @Tom Givens for putting on a phenomenal class, hope to take it again sometime.

Having to pick between the two, I'm more partial to Mr. War Eagle than Mr. Roll Tide (the distinction being that I'm not okay banging my brother or sister...they at LEAST have to be a cousin). However, you're much more likely to find me watching other people playing video games or other people doing woodworking, rather than other people playing sportsball.
Didn't take a lot of pics, but here are the ones I kept.
Obviously, quite proud of this one.
Getting comfortable manipulating the scatterguns, and more importantly, keeping them fed.
Without a doubt, the sexiest shotgun at the class. Wood furniture professionally refinished, stock cut down to proper length, and a rail section mounted to the forearm to allow the placement of a light.
Stippling the forearm is great for traction during an "Oh shit" moment at 3am, but it kinda sucks if you planning on running the pump ~350 times in one afternoon (250 bird, 50 buck, ~50 dry).

I'm a believer in the "long gun classes require gloves" theory. Learned that running an AK in a rifle class. Theory hasn't let me down since.Once again, thank you @Tom Givens for putting on a phenomenal class, hope to take it again sometime.

Any ARish shotgun immediately makes me think of the Abel team novels I read as a kid and the Achisson Assault Shotgun carried by one of the characters.So I bought this today. MKA 1919. Gonna set it up for 3 gun. Will update once I get some rounds through it.

Remember the AA12 we'll always thought they were cool. Can't say I remember the novels. When I get done with the mods I plan on it will look like this:Any ARish shotgun immediately makes me think of the Abel team novels I read as a kid and the Achisson Assault Shotgun carried by one of the characters.
But I wanna make sure it will run as is before I sink more money into it.
