Home protection shotty

Ya, parvo can be nasty. Especially if you don't catch it soon.

I swear she got it going to the vets office. That's the only place she went in the first week we had her. And none of the other pups in the litter had it.

I want to modify my ak but can't justify putting $300 into it just to make it look "nicer"

Been messing around with mine, What are you thinking about doing?

[ZeroTolerance]

Putting an eotech w/ 3x magnification on it sometime down the road. Changing the muzzle break, foregrip, and stock. Add a side rail to it for the eotech to mount on.

If you haven't tried a kingarmory muzzle break you don't know what you are missing.
I had one (sold gun) on my 7mm mag and it was amazing. It didn't kick as hard as my AR does.
Joey is a great guy also... Been shooting with him many times.

Nice! I did put the utg fore end on my romanian ( It is built like a tank and really nice). I also put a tapco fore grip on the rail, did a tapco collapsable stock (which is whatever) and bought a few of the tapco "plastic mags" which are great! Theres so much you can do with the ak's.

As far as 12ga shottys go, how is it shooting one with a pistol grip compared to standard? Will it rip your hand off?

[Enno]

pistol grip only or pistol grip with a shoulder stock.
pistol grip only is cool as all get out but I don't like it. It can be a handful especially when using heavy loads. And when you are in a "panic" situation like somebody breaking in, you want all the wits about you that you can have.
With a shoulder stock of some sort it is very functional.
Having said that, if you are just interested in home defense, get a regular old Remmy or Mossy and call it good.

If it works for the army it works for me. Besides the take down for cleaning is better than the 500's. So I vote for the mossberg model 590a1 shotgun.

And never rack the slide to scare someone. You give up the element of surprise and show yourself to be armed. It is about the worst possible move you could make.

I agree with this. Mine always has one in the tube. I trust the factory safety.

I'll add this though. No children are in my home, those with, might not feel the same way.

I keep all my "go to" guns loaded. If they are not on me they are locked away in a safe but they are loaded.
Do you know how many people a year die from guns that they didn't think were loaded?
I thought it was empty" "I thought it was unloaded"
I also ONLY let trusted friends handle my guns.

Same here. Reason being, many years ago, I had a ND/AD. From that day forward, they've all been cocked & locked. (1911's)

There is one small difference though. I don't trust anyone enough, to handle my guns.

Interesting demo of ammo

[JEG8233]

I keep a Remington 870 Express with the 18" barrel, pistol grip, surefire tac light on the fore end, and the M4 style collapsable stock. Keep it loaded with #1 Buckshot. Matter fact I don't think I keep an unloaded firearm in the house....lol.
