I took that same shotgun class with Bob and realized I really wanted a new 12ga after using my 30+ yr old Mossberg 500 Persuader. She's a beauty with her real wood and clean looks but DAMN, it's heavy compared to many of the shotties these days. Now I'm wanting to get a new, lighter one for HD and just preserve the old gal.

Can't handle her anymore huh? 😁

Nah. Just old and annoying, like you.

She ain’t that old! 😉

As far as annoying; I wouldn’t know, as I only see her on her best days (when she’s training/shooting). She’s pretty dang nice then! 👍

Model 12, I believe. I had one..smooth as silk

If memory serves, that was discussed on here a while back as Winchester 1897 (M97) and Model 12 shotguns were slam-fire capable, but perhaps there were others.

Winchester 1897
Winchester 12
Remington Model 10
Ithaca Model 37
Stevens Model 520/530

All used as trench guns and could be slam fired..

I’m with ya man! I have 3 870’s & 2 500’s ….. then I shot a Benelli semi auto my buddy has …… my god man!!! This SOB has the knock off system, speed load lips, variport gas crap, unreal, is all I gotta say. I did have a nice 1100 ( I should have NEVER got rid of ) & I’ve shot a few other sweet semis, but nothin set up like a 3 gun deal like this one. I used to dream of jumpin up from behind a palmetto bush, into the middle of a herd of pigs, & screaming “ whaaaaatttsssssuup piggy’s!!!! “ & lettin the piggy’s hit the floor! 😂 given there are no magazine limits, shot types, season, size limit, etc. , etc. , this thing was made for pig hunting. The technology in these things now is unbelievable. Another buddy has a couple that can shoot 2” to 3” groups all day long at 100 yds. With .45 cal slugs. A shottie is a shottie, no more & I like it. 👍

At least my Mossberg was no where near as heavy as the Spas 12 I had. I should have held on to that one. Fun but definitely not practical.

I always wanted one of those. It’s a Terminator thing….

How do you like the surefire forend? Does it add bulk to the front end? How’s the grip?

Not that I know much about shotguns but that is a nice score.

Bob I think you should take a class on this then. Some of us were lucky enough to take one last year from this guy that knew a thing or two about them….😜

I might do that. I wonder where I would go to do that?

 

[joecarry]

Beat me…I’m still waiting for my certificate from that guy! 🤪

Of course I did have about 6 alias at that time so he probably didn’t know who to make it out to.

Send him a PM I am sure he will get you one

Thanks. Now I need to pattern it and test the slugs I got for your class since I couldn’t shoot them in my shotgun because of the choke.

 

[bttbbob]

The fact you know to pattern a shottie tells me you learned something.

I thought i answered this but i guess it didnt go through. Yes it adds weight, but its not like you are carrying it all day…..the grip is very good….
