Eh. You mean the one they announced at 2011 SHOT and no one ever heard anything about again? Owned by Taurus, but not actually Taurus

Taurus gets the crown for what? Innovation? I hope I'm misunderstanding you, because aside from the Judge, there is NOTHING innovative about Taurus guns.

I got a kick out the M&M commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqQVA3Lk31I The chevy apocalypse commercial was pretty good.. probably would've liked it more if I wasn't a Ford guy in a previous life

Thanks to the Maks' search link, I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9XfxJZBGPk

Then you're not looking hard enough. More than a couple people in this thread have implied (or straight out said) that the internet has no bearing on gun/gear/whatever sales, and that simply is not the case. For better or worse, the internet can make or break a company and those who choose to treat it like a passing fad will eventually realize how wrong they were.

1 year. But your point is still valid. 11k and a million views is a lot regardless of how long he's been on youtube. Isn't it ironic that you're having to explain that on an internet forum

That didn't stop guys like Ronnie Barret or John Paul from talking to Nutnfancy. That didn't stop Les Baer from talking to weaponseducation. Plenty of "high dollar" people spend a couple minutes talking to the guys from youtube even though the chances are pretty slim that the youtubers that watch the videos will ever buy their products. That said, this "weaponseducation" guy makes me appreciate Nutnfancy just a little bit more

Very nice 14. I like the tiger stripe pattern of the wood

Dick's pretty regularly has Remington Gun Club shotshells for $54-55 bux. If you can catch one of the free shipping or $5 shipping deal from Cabelas you can usually find target shotshells in the $52-56 range... might be Federal.. might be Estate.. but they almost always have something on sale for around $55 bux for a case

Gotcha. I was mostly curious, because i haven't run into any issues with the extension on my 590... but, the mag tube is very different on the 590 (and some 500s like the persuaders). Definitely something to think about.

Interesting. Is that with an extension and the stock spring?

Which mossberg are you referring to?

Point at something - is your hand vertical or at a slight angle? The idea behind slightly turning the hand when shooting one handed is that it's similar to how most point their hand. It's a pretty common technique taught by quite a few schools. Whether or not it's the best way for you to shoot one handed is something you need to practice to figure out.

Wow.. never seen noticed that before, but makes sense

Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or does that 500 have checkerboard (or maybe polka dot) finish?

If Sirsloop was still around it probably would have been posted already...

As you can see, not much changed during your absence

Welcome back, Ken - you've been missed!

I was gonna put that as my first gun as well (altho the timeline was probably closer to the early 90s for me), but it was a present and I wasn't sure it "counted"... not to mention I wasn't sure if it's technically a rifle or a shotgun. Mine is also sitting in a closet in Europe I've been trying to find one here, but all I find is the 9mm ammo.

Looks like they're doing a new one - premieres Feb 7th http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/doomsday-preppers/?source=redir_sub_preppers

Way too much goofy zombie stuff this year.

I think you mean Feb 9th. 12th is a Sunday.

Rifle: Daniel Defense M4v1 - 2009 Shotgun: Mossberg 18.5" 590A1 - 2009 Handgun: S&W M&P 9 - 2009 Still have all of them.

Hah pretty funny
