I agree because technically with this and the current laws of open carrying of a non-restricted you could get one of those drop leg holsters, leave the 3 shells in your pocket, and carry it down the street with you, drive with it, etc. It wouldent be concealed and being non-restric it would all be legal within the eyes of the law. .

Pretty far fetched....You can already do this with "regular" shotguns, but nobody does it.

I don't see hordes of short shotty owners strutting thier stuff down Broadway any time soon.:)

Just to be an ass I'll say that posting vid of it being shot like a handgun might not help it stay unrestricted ;)

Even then I can just see the ATC questionare reading the form...
Q) What caliber are you using?
A) .70+ cal slug. :eek:

Bwahaha :D
 
Sent a request for a quote on a custom build, but no reply. I guess Dlask is very busy now. Rem 870 with 6.5" barrel, ported, muzzle break, ghost sight and magazine fed. That would be sweet! :D :evil:

Update: Finally connected and ordered the standard 8.5" model (yeah, no 6.5" barrels yet). Will have to do the mod's myself I guess. Can't wait until it comes in the mail!

No 6.5" barrels are in the works at the moment... might happen in future; might not. I spoke to Jo on the phone about this Monday.

That is a very good point actually.

Upon reflection and discussion with one more knowledgeable, I have removed the videos in order to avoid any potential backlash or negative publicity wrt the shotgun being considered/mistaken for something it is not. There may be inaccurate perception by those who would want to see this tool banned.

I was testing it to see how the recoil compared other guns I have used, I certainly wasn't trying to promote that shooting stance as the best, preferred or only way to shoot the gun.

That said, the more I shoot the gun the more awesome I think it is!

Cheers

Ike , good plan now if some of the others would follow your lead and drop the CCW commentary and carrying it on the hip around town the future looks bright . If the powers believe that we're looking upon this as an excellent , remote area bear medicine there probably won't be a problem . If the powers read this forum and see that several are talking about carrying in a fanny pack in town with ammo handy , carrying concealed or using it for thier CCW gun , we're one ruling away from restriction or prohabition before the gun is even on the market .

Your video demonstrated that while possible, it is not a practical method to shoot the gun. Two hands in the more or less standard position are still the only effective manual of arms.
