First of two FDE scabbards arrived today.

A great truck weapon...the scabbard will keep it protected.

 

when one is not enough

 

I neeeeeed one!

 

One for the bedroom, the other for the bathroom!!! or truck!! or fridge! Your call boss! Saweeeeet!

 

Dave

I have been shopping these for the last couple of weeks. And now this...

Your killing me.

 

Here’s what I did with mine. Has a side-saddle now as well.

 

Those are awesome! Making me feel old school... definitely not as easy to one hand!

 

Second Voodoo Scabard arrived today...the twins each have a holster
Edit- sent one Scabard back, defective snap on molly strap. Could I have made it work? yes. Do I want a molly strap with no snap? No. Amazon made the return easy. New one on the way.

 

I have those scabbards and have liked them for my pistol grip 870 they are perfect for the shockwave. You have renewed my search I just can't decide if I want the stainless or not. That flat dark earth is sharp. I am sure you will share the loads you like and don't like when you put them to the test.

 

Please...dont post more pics of that. My penis can only get so erect.

Thats exactly what I want for my bush gun.

 

Well I went to the grocery store and happened to pass my LGS, so I stopped in and ordered the shockwave. Should have it on Mon or Tues I went with the base model in 12 gauge but I have to admit the .410 really peaked my interest.

 

I’ve been wanting one of these for a while!!!!

 

Just so you know, #7 shot going about 500fps (from that tiny barrel) will only penetrate about 1" or so of actual flesh. Messy, sure. But, DRT is a stretch.

 

Just so you know... the lower barrel is loaded with a 45 long colt so no DRT stretch
allowed.

 

Thanks! We have an amazing shooting complex here in Western NC. It’s a fun hobby.

 

Teehee! Fair enough!

 

Fun range day giving the new twins a shake down. I started with #8 shot and finished with 00 buck. I think I will end up using #4 buckshot. A fun range day with steel targets and clays on the bank.

 

if you want a good deal federal is having a $20 rebate on 100 round pack of #00 buck

mossberg pump i can make a hater jump

 

I recently fired an old Remington Magnum 12 gauge set up the same way with walnut furniture, it had a sweet shoulder rig. It was loud AF and I needed to aim lower than I thought I would... it would be a devastating close range home defense & vehicle howitzer - I prefer something quieter, but one of those little shoties within reach would be great.

 

Thanks trainracer..I have decided on #4 buckshot as I use it for coyotes (lots of yotes here in NC) and varmits..it’s also a decent HD round in my opinion. A link...

https://ammo.com/bullet-type/4-buck

#4 buck, not to be confused with #4 shot, is one of the most popular home-defense buckshot sizes on the market today for 12 gauge shotgun owners. The reason? It’s devastating at close range, but doesn’t penetrate nearly as much as 000 or 00 buck. #4 buck will definitely kill a large deer, so humans wearing normal clothing won’t stand much of a chance at close range. At longer ranges, #4 buck may not be ideal for bringing down or neutralizing a threatening human or other large animal.

Home Defense Use
What makes #4 buck so popular for home defense? Penetration versus power is the scale of balance in home defense. Too much penetration, and you’re going to go through your target and damage property or the people behind it. Too little power, and you’re less likely to stop someone if they are set on reaching you.

There are many different buckshot sizes and uses, so it's good to know that #4 buckshot caliber offers a good balance between number of pellets, pellet size, penetration and stopping power. With a pellet count commonly between 21 and 24 of .24-inch lead balls traveling at about 1,200 feet per second, a serious impression will be made on your target. When comparing 4 buckshot vs. 00 buckshot, #4 is somewhat less powerful than 00 buck, which is used by most law enforcement agencies in their shotguns. However, they are more likely to engage their targets at longer range than the average homeowner.

Hunting Use
Number 4 buckshot is most commonly used for deer, coyote and other similar sized game and predators. The whole idea of hunting game with shot is debatable to some, and a given to others. Because while there are hunters who feel that shotguns using buckshot is a poor choice for hunting (as it is less likely to produce a quick kill), there are others who claim that buckshot is more likely to make clean kills versus a rifle shot.

It all comes down to what you like best, as opinions vary widely. Some people prefer fewer large pellets that can cause massive damage and have supreme penetration, while others prefer a vast amount of smaller pellets that inflict more damage to more surface area with less penetration.

For the hunter as well as the home defender, 12 gauge #4 buckshot is a great choice to eliminate predators (whether it's the two or four legged kind). And it's easy to find, available from manufacturers like Remington, Hornady, and Sellier & Bellot.

 

Add a platinum star to your man card Tony.. any man that goes out for groceries and orders a Shockwave on his way home deserves a battalion salute...you won’t be disappointed with the 12 ga

Twins got dots...
I added Primary Arms red dot optics fastened with a little locktite..waiting on my 12 ga bore sight to arrive, a few slugs down range to get the twins dialed in at the “Freedom Range”. These Red Dots come fairly true out of the box, but bore sighting usually gets them on paper a little quicker. Looking forward to another range day.

 

stellar as usual brother

 

F$ck yeah! No amount of fire power is too much when you're talking about protecting your family.

 

Where is this? I can only think of 2 ranges. On Target and the one way up Panther Top in Murphy
