Pretty sweet kit. Throw in some extra strike-anywhere matches and one of those magnesium fire starters, and you're all set. :)

SHOT 2009 at the Mossberg booth. They say this will come out in mid march. Looking forward to it if only for its ridiculously huge brake.

I'm not screwing around with pistol grips anymore. I took my shit out to the range up in Ocala this weekend and damn near broke my hand. Of course my crazy ass did put some 3in slugs through it at first, but then switched to 00 buck and didn't like it. There is a zero buffer on that damn thing. Here I thought I was all cool when I made my pistol grip and shit! The mrs thought she was grown and tried to put a 3in slug through there and almost blew her shoulder out.
As for the JIC it's a waste! My mossberg cost me $200 and pistol grip $40, survival kit includes whatever shit I got already floating around. For half the price you get the same shit.

Big guy like you can't handle a pistol grip?

You know kids shoot those things, right?

I am going to have to get a vid of Girl shooting one now to prove it to ya.

IF it does get released, I will aquire one, BUT it is gonna get a standard buttstock. The only Shotties I have with PG's are my AOW's.
I bought that Breacher gun with the crenalated "Flash hider" thingy on the end when they first came out. It was only offered with a PG. I put a speedfeed buttstock on it and carry it as my patrol shotty

Cris,

Honestly, I don't think Girl would ever like shooting again if you have her shoot a PG 12ga. pump with 2 3/4" or 3" loads. I don't know what you shot, but they do have a very healthy kick to them.

I've always wante to know what the hell hell the speed feed buttstock does. Any thoughts?

Simply...It holds 4 more shells inside the buttstock, spring loaded follower and stops to hold the shells until you pluck them out. They feed one at a time.
Im all about ammo, I like having quick access to extra ammo. The stock holds 4, two shells per side, with a six shot sidesaddle, 5 in the magtube thats 15 12 guage shells on one shotty, not too bad. For safety, I dont leave one in the pipe.

Gotcha! I never knew what the hell they did. I fully understand the ammo part, hell you can never have enough ammo in a deadly situation.
Thanks for the info!

nice lookin shotgun!

I like those cuffs too.
what brand are those?

Frontline
02-20-2009, 11:51 PM
Those are ASP Hinge Cuffs (the Baton Company, Im sure you know them.) I have 2 sets chain cuffs and a set of Hinge cuffs (pictured) by ASP, as well as an old pair (my favorites) of Peerless, a pair of Winchesters, and a pair of S&W's.
Check em out on any LE supply website, or go directly to ASP's website.

No kidding. Man has earned the respect of the shooting community in more ways than one.
