Total newb here to shotguns. I don't even know if there really is a "sight picture" for a shotgun. But what am I supposed to see or not see when I'm aiming for a target? Specifically a clay bird. When I shoot trap the targets seem to break when the bead is right under the bird. So I see the target at all times. I've also heard of people covering the bird as well. This never works for me though. Is there any correct way or does it kind of vary based on person, choke, barrel, etc.?

Just to clarify, we were only doing one shell at a time. So in this case when you open the chamber you should do so with a good amount of force correct? Because I was telling them to use a lot of forward motion when chambering the round. But I wasn't really telling them make sure to rack it back fully and with force. Probably because I was more focused on just getting the empty shell out.

I know this is a term for handguns, but let me explain. I was out at Ft. Dix today on the trap range. I had three guests, all of whom were very new to shotguns (to be honest I'm pretty new myself). Every time they used it and went to extract the shell it would get stuck and they would have to struggle with it a bit before they could properly pump the shotgun Every time I used it it would never happen. The only thing I could notice is their stance was not a rigid as mine. I was a little "loose" I guess you could say in that they didn't put as much as their body and weight into the butt of the shotgun. Would this induce some type of malfunction much like how if you loosely hold a handgun it can cause it to not cycle properly? The shotgun in question is a Remington 870 that is very new (less than 100 rounds through it). Shells used were Remington Target loads (7 1/2 I believe). Thanks for your help.

Glad you pointed this out. Kinda annoys me when people see a safe like this and then recommend getting a $5000-$10,000 safe instead. Not everyone has that kind of money and to suggest such a thing is a little impractical.

LOL!!!

Ate these out on the market?

Man, that's a great deal assuming the rifle has good components which I heard PSA is pretty good. I agree a stock upgrade is in order, but that's not a huge deal.

20k limit or 2k limit? Anyone buy 20k at once?

That's pretty funny, haha!

Wow this was a really interesting read. Crazy how the differences in burn rates and characteristics affect the way the bullet leaves the gun.

Just wondering if you can use black powder as opposed to smokeless powder for common handgun loads like 9mm, 40, 45acp. Or is it only for certain rounds guns?

I never had an issue with Ultramaxx. Shot about 750 or rounds of it in both 45 and 9mm. Freedom Munitions is pretty much like new. That stuff is very consistent.

That would take a permit correct?

I agree with the rest.

You guys are talking about the free ones if you have Prime right?

Don't tell me you sold yours for a color change. LOL!

Hey guys. Just getting a general consensus from the local community on handguns that people are still struggling to find in stock. Seems like ARs/AKs are available now as are accessories. I see ammo coming back in stock more often. So are there still some handguns that are a tough find? If you are still having problems finding a particular handgun list them here. I'm interested in knowing, maybe others are as well. Here's my list: S&W 627 Pro Series. Kinda tough to find before the scare, but now pretty much impossible. Springfield XDS: I did see a couple for sale on the forums lately so that is a good sign, but still a tough find. Glock 19 Gen 4: I have heard of a few places having them, but still not seeing them in my area. Also just to add to the thread if someone lists something and you've seen it it'd be nice to know where. Thanks!

Maybe they're union?

Can you put a 23 slide on a 19 and vice versa? Does the ejector have to be swapped? Anyone know?

I was basing it off the GSSF program, but I guess retail is different as I see them offered with 3 mags (gen 4). http://www.gssfonline.com/GSSF_Pistol_Purchase_Program_Information.pdf

Goes directly to you. I went through it with Kimber. When sending do as the above have mentioned. Search "firearms" on FedEx/UPS website. They outline the details.

What does that have to do with the primer? The firing pin is not out when doing an administrative load. A more sensitive primer is more likely to go off when fired is my point. And when I say more sensitive I'm comparing a Federal to the likes of a CCI. I'm not saying the go off when dropped.

Because as everyone knows a retired cop will only face retired criminals...

I wish the justice system worked that fast!
