They had a 10% off on everything in store sale….so I wandered over to the gun counter to drool…..talking to the counter guy he said the 10% sale would stack on the 10% military and the store was paying all taxes for veterans today 

That’s 26% off everything in the store 😳😳

This store always has an incredible selection of desirable handguns and long rifles & they just got in a shotgun the ATF was going after for having to many imported pieces parts according to the gun counter guy (I thought it was settled but don’t actually know) and the gauge was priced $300 lower than I’ve ever seen……

Sigh……..I’ve got another gun box to deal with now 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😆😆😆😆😆😆

I get asked all the time to do YouTube videos so figured what the heck, and threw a camera out there.

During training we fired 00 at targets out to 50 yards with a cylinder bore. You can easily miss a silhouette at that range while putting shot all around it.
After thinking it over, I figured #4 buck might be a good compromise between over penetration and under penetration in a house.
I mentioned this to a good friend and former colleague a few months ago and he told me about a session he'd attended at his department, KCPD, featuring a speaker who is a renowned expert in the medical examiner field. He talked about multiple wounds causing a person to leak more from that than a smaller number of wounds from larger projectiles. The M.E.'s conclusion was that #4 buck was the best choice in a shotgun. That had never occurred to me but it makes sense. I've had a case of 3" #4buck for a few years now. As a civilian, I don't forsee barrior penetration (windshield, doors. etc.) as being an issue. Most likely a home invasion type scenario won't ever be an issue either, but you never know.
Of course, I have to add the standard disclaimer. I hope I'll never have a problem requiring such actions. Second, killing wouldn't be the desired outcome. Stopping a threat would be the desired outcome.
Anyway, there's my thoughts on the matter.]]> I'm under no illusion that buck shot is much good at longer ranges. During training we fired 00 at targets out to 50 yards with a cylinder bore. You can easily miss a silhouette at that range while putting shot all around it.

Before:



After:







I had to cut the side saddle down from 5 to 2 otherwise it interfered with the slide cycling.







Can’t tell in the picture due to the camera flash but the light from the edge of the light beam is enough to make that chevron glow like a neon sign in Vegas without too much backsplash.
Haven’t had a chance to get it to the range yet but will report back when I do.
