So far, the only shotgun I have is a completely ridiculous Mossberg 930 - the snow goose gun with the Kryptek arctic camo and 13-shot tube...

I was given one of those by my father in-law because he hated it, but I didn't have use for & couldn't get rid of it for a long time either. I still have the boxes of high-brass goose loads that came with it somewhere, minus maybe 3 shells. The guy I sold it to didn't want them because he was going to turn it into a slug gun; I guess Mossberg has slug barrels for them, but I never looked. It was a ridiculous thing, damn near punt-gun sized, which is not a good idea to tote around with all the kudzu & hills.

S&W has their version in the M&P-12 that I assume performs better.

I'd buy that for a dollar!
:woo:
 
When I was younger I purchased a Mossberg 500 with that gimmicky AR style stock that came with the shell-side saddle, for home defense. I put a flashlight on it and then it just sat in the safe for over a decade. It wasn't pleasant at all to shoot, it didn't have any options for choke so I wouldn't be using it for clay, didn't help I quickly joined everyone else on the HD AR/PCC bandwagon. I really have no use for the thing at this point.

I would assume it's a short stroke piston, the little bit of the gas block shown off in the video looks way too overbuilt to be DI.

Probably right, it's been the trend for a while. Well it's a good system, my SKS chews thru just about anything you feed it, though it is flapper locked too

Unless you're just playing do yourself a favour and get an RS Regulate side mount and a modern optic of some sort.
Everything else is kinda garbage.

This is mainly a toy for me, my work tools have acogs and eotechs. I may have found a source for a PK122 so I may go that route if it pans out
 
I have a mishmash of defensive ammos, mixed in with each other.

Does anyone have any experience, or valid insight, into putting a 147gr HST in the same mag as 124gr Golden Sabres? I'm not worried about it, but I'm interested in hearing about what others might think since it occurred to me.
 
That makes sense. Though, how significant is significant? A few inches? In the event of the unthinkable, I don't believe I'm going to be sweating a few inches up or down.

I suppose I need to just shoot all this golden saber and HST and just buy one weight the next time I buy bulk.

enough to miss CNS at 25 meters in the most extreme case i tried which means that if i had to draw on a threat i couldn't rely on it to stop the threat ASAP, but generally if the bullets are similar mass and at similar velocity then they will usually be close enough for "across the room" distances. i've had good luck cross-pollinating Golden Sabre with Gold Dots in .45 ACP and .40 S&W where it's just looks like a worse group, but 9x19mm HST only ever had similar POI with PMC Bronze "Starfire" ammunition and even then it was off by a bit. SIG Elite seems to always need a sight in, but also was never far off in most guns i've tried it in that are "duty sized".

you start getting weird results with compact and sub compact pistols though, where a short sight radius and miniaturized grip can magnify POI shift. note that POI shift is rarely ever just vertical, it can be a combination of vertical and horizontal and in my experience it's usually some combination of that rather than just adjusting one dimension.

Yea, they're 124 and 147, but I'd still like them to be all of one weight. I'll do an honest count of how many I have of the golden sabers and shoot those up. While a reputable round, they're quite dated with offerings like HST.
 
For me, mixing types gets a POI shift sometimes and more often a change in recoil impulse that doesn't help getting back on target.

I suppose my question is what do you want to accomplish with that mix? Only solid usecase I've come up with for a mixed load would be for in the woods, switching to or from FMJ after the first round or two for 'bear or person?'

edit: never mind. I was being needlessly autistic about something that is a non-issue.

I'm not trying to accomplish anything, really. It's just, through so many times of loading and unloading magazines, quickly reaching into the safe to grab a fistful of mags, different drills requiring different amounts of fired shots, etc. I have a real disparity in the number of defensive rounds. I don't know if that makes sense.

I think what I"ll do is just empty my defensive load magazines, and put all the Remingtons in the magazines then put the HSTs back in their boxes (if I have any.) I might just need to repurpose old Golden Saber boxes to hold the HSTs.

THEN AGAIN I have a mixture of 124 and 147 grain HST rounds too.

It's kind of a mess that is 100% my fault for getting into. I was only wondering if anyone had heard of enormous deviations in POA/POI, to the extreme of minute of badguy.

I'm sure the hole in the barrel is there for legal purposes but it might make it a better weapon to just shoot more random case debris out the side.

All of the ones on display have holes drilled in them, so unfortunately yeah.

Also present are an Arisaka Obrez, Gewehr 98 Obrez, and the ubiquitous Mosin Obrez:

Question: does anyone know anything about Southern Tactical? I'm seeing a bunch of their kit builds for sale on Atlantic, and was wondering what the consensus was on their quality/reliability.

The autism kinda comes with the territory lol. Really I'd just want my defensive load to be consistent. I have 2 loads for my revolver, one in the pistol, and one in a speed strip. As long as you keep them apart, you won't be dealing with a PoI shift, and you'll have multiple loads if one ends up being ass. In my case, I have a snubby, so hollow points are iffy, which is why I keep the FBI load as a backup to these federal 120 grain HP loads.
