    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    Yes, generally anytime I am outside for any significant time period so, I'd say generally 6 days a week. If not a shotgun or rifle, I let my pistol provide a stopgap with CCW. Excessive weight is an issue but, reasonable shotgun weights are fine with me. Basically, I don't want a huge amount...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    Thanks! What does the Langon 1301 offer over a stock version? What practical features does it add? About the only thing I can think of, at the moment, that might need attention is the Plus 2 shell capacity and possibly a good light mount. Am I overlooking anything else?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    Thanks! There are a lot of distracting postings here that miss the mark of my original post. Perhaps asking a shotgun question on a forum like this is a waste of my time. In the past, this forum really helped out with a top-flight bolt action rifle acquisition and some optics. A 4x ACOG was...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    I'm not a professional 'door kicker' but, I'll take any edge I can get to avoid being a chew toy or snack for 3 or more dogs. Pack behavior in a rural environment is NOT the same as someone's mistreated pet in a backyard in Suburbia! I have a pump shotgun now which is working well for killing...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    I have used Ghost Ring sights on an old Remington shotgun and like them VERY MUCH! These are a definite 'desirement' for me. A RDS or Reflex is probably a good idea too but, on a tractor or rifle rack in a UTV or pickup would likely be covered in dust. If it was propped up beside my...

    Nice for clearing trenches I guess in World War 1 but, not what I would want today, even in a trench if I found myself there.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    The Benelli M4 seems heavy from the specs which might be good for recoil management. However, the manual of arms seems a bit much for most people. I'm sure it is a good shotgun but, I don't really understand it and the need for its special features in a non-military context.

    Not really but, when dogs kill livestock and attack people, they have to be dealt with. Their owners are a different issue. Regarding the arson, I'm not the one that went to prison! In fact, I was gone that weekend to see family in Oklahoma.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    I have short CQB-friendly Pump-actions covered for contact distance encounters. Today, I really need to investigate the current crop of premium semi-auto combat shotguns. I hear a lot of 'Mall Ninjas" talk about the Benelli M-4 but I wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze. I'm initially...

    Who makes good 357 Soccom upper these days?

    The last few times I checked, Tromix wasn't making complete URGs. Glad to see post-COVID they are doing them again.

    Who makes good 357 Soccom upper these days?

    Are 375 Soccom uppers available today or just barrels? I'm not currently a "gun plumber" so, buying tools and a raw barrel isn't super exciting. I'm looking for a bit more velocity than I can get with a 458 Soccom while still keeping good bullet weight and frontal area. TIA, Sid

    New AR cartridge the 400 Legend

    But 350 L sounds so much better for marketing. Who would buy a 357AR?

    .257 Raptor

    Arne had some personal health issues so, life priorities changed. Scott Medesha Firearms has been very slow to respond due to COVID (heard there he was sick and other family members passed away).

    .257 Raptor

    The only thing it really shares with the 257 Raptor is the base case to form it. Really different round with a great marketing spin. The 257 Ocelot is closer to the Raptor in design and overall function. If barrels or related stuff becomes available, I want to be notified. I tried to...

    Anyone running this caliber? Did you build your own or buy an upper from someone?
