"Surefire Rail with TLR-1 and TD "Irish" Stubby very grip"

 

ehm...why is the stubby grip nicknamed "irish" lol

simple and small is best for home defense, IMO...

Keep in mind this is a working shotgun, not a HD shotgun.

 

 

 

I like it, Only thing I find a little weird is the fore end with the vertical grip, Looks a little uncomfortable. Other then that I like the stock a lot.

 

Thanks,

 

I actually don't grab it like a broomstick/chicken choke. I use it more like a hand stop/reference point. It closely mimics my support hand hold on a rifle, just without my thumb over the top. That barrel gets HOT!

 

I will try to take a pic to better explain.

 

I am looking for something a little more low profile, but haven't found anything yet that fits the bill. In the meantime, the "Irish" stubby works fine.

 

 

 

You asked, I'll answer.

 

Adjustable stocks- They were for SWAT and military guys wearing body armor and need a stock for all the temperature changes. I'm not wearing body armor or kicking in doors in Iraq.

Rails- 1 rail for a light is cool, but all those rails would end up cutting my hands after a day at the range. Even with the covers on them, that rubber will flex and move.

red dot- I find a bead front sight is just as fast as a red dot, and it's one less battery to go dead.

 

The +2 extension is top-notch and a must-have for any real defensive shotty.

The sling is also good, although I'd take if off if the shotty in question was my HD gun.

 

Thanks Ray.

 

I agree 110% on the topic of adjustable stocks. That is why I have one.

 

The rail is lightweight (6oz for the rail, 4.1oz for the TLR-1, and 2.5oz for the vert grip) that is 12.6oz vs 16.1oz for the Surefire dedicated fore end light), a stable mounting platform for white and IR lights, grippy as hell and will clear the side saddle with the action open. I have never had a problem with the rail grabbers moving, flexing, or slipping and I have never cut myself on anything other than the shell elevator. The rail also let's me upgrade my light to newer, brighter, whateverer without the expense of a whole new fore end.

 

The red dot has decent battery life, approx 3000 hours on the medium setting, and the rail it sits in actually creates a ghost ring for the bead in the event the RDS shits the bed on me. The dot is helpful shooting at 50yards with a shotgun just as it is on a rifle. It also helps for high percentage shots. The bead is fast, but the dot is faster and accurate, in my experience.

 

The +2 is clutch as well as the big head dome safety, but you Mossy guys don't know about that

 

Finally the sling. I look at the sling as I would a holster. In my opinion It is 1 of the 2 pieces of essential equipment you need on a fighting long arm (the other being a white light for target ID). What do you do with it if you need to do something with 2 hands - carry something, open a window, go hands on, restrain someone, open a water bottle. These are all thing you may need to do while carrying your long arm.

If you gotta ask

High Exposure, I knew your profession but I wasn't going to blurt it out. Good write-up bro.

 

Question for you, what is your HD shotty?

Very Cool Screwball, I really like the Magpul Furniture, Have you shot it yet with that set up?

 

Nope. I'm waiting until I get the sling and cheek kit before I start practicing with it again. The standard kit, like the OEM stock, is a little too low for rifle sights. One of my biggest complaints... but bead sights on my 11-87 are ok.

 

Cannot recommend the furniture enough. Very thought out design.

 

looks good.

if don't mind me asking >>> where did do the NP3 Plus and how much was it ?

 

Robar is the only place that does NP3.

 

It costs $450, but they have sales each month. It cost me $385.50 when I did it. If you want to save some money, standard NP3 is cheaper.

 

Screwball, I never much liked the look of the shotgun furniture Magpul put out, but could never tell how comfortable it is. Although I've never had my hands slip off a pump, it looks like their pump will help prevent that. What about the stock? The grip looks like it's a little odd.

 

It is extremely comfortable. The grip seems odd considering standard options, but it is very nice. The main thing I wanted was the ability to add a light to the forend, as well as a two/one point sling.

Not exactly tactical in the flavor of tactical of the other shotguns in this thread.

It's an airforce m870 mk1 clone I put together a few years back. I've since replaced the rubber buttpad with a proper thin plastic one which I need to trim a little bit and put on a 1913 leather turner sling.

 

NICE I like it, the bayonet has to go. What is that hood on the end of the barrel .

Don't forget the Ammo.

Is he hanging a holster off that belt too?

Not mine, but....daddy likes! :

 

Benelli Supernova 18.5" Ghost Ring Sights and a Beretta Px4 Storm .40

Added a cheapo UAG reflex sight and the cheek riser. If I have time this weekend I'll remove all the tacticool addons and snap some pics of the configuration I'll use for classes.

 

whoa

Xx you go to the mall with that shotgun? You forgot to put a hedge trimmer on it lol

Converted the Saiga 12.

10rd Modified AGP Mag.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Oh the fun that pennsy allows...

Stick in a thumbhole stock and aside from the folding feature, you can have it in NJ.

Ehhh... still a grey area IMO.

Very nice. Why is your EO tech mounted so far forward.

turbotezza has stepped up and smacked a home run in this thread

Thanks.

 

I do fire slugs at longer ranges so putting the Eotech there allows me to attach my 3x magnifier further back. I also find it easier to use when it is further forward.

I'm thinking grand slam

Thanks all!

 

Mossberg 500a1 and Mossberg 590-3r

 

 

 

My Mossberg 590-3r with an Ontario m9 bayonet.. still shopping for a light to put on her and debating on a night sight. I was just gunna do a fiberoptic sight like I have on my 500...but decided not to to help in low light and to help with muzzle location. Also going to add a single point sling mount to both when the funds allow it

cguiro, Quiero el cuchillo

 

My pardner pump. Created from leftovers and parts from other shotguns. Hd barrel, hogue tamer grip and forend. Sidesaddle mini bayonet just because i had it so why not.

Remington 870 parkerized with 20" rifle sight barrel and +3 mag extension
