Lets see some pics of your tactical shottys!

Just picked up a Mossy 930 over the holidays, going to keep it $hit simple with a red dot and side saddle. My first semi-auto shotty.

Left to right, 590 with Knoxx specops II RR stock, heat shield, 14inch 590A1, 870 build by Casey at Tacord.
 
Because "Tactical" is not a description of an object, but a description of technique and method...

Just added a "Tactical" O/U shorty to the cabinet. Ricol 14" BBL. Last pic is a comparison to my 12.5" Grizzly. In spite of the barrel being 1.5" longer than the Grizzly's, the OAL of the Ricol, at 30.5", is actually 2" shorter than the Grizzly, at 32.5"

my tacticool 590 and tacticool grandpa 870

i enjoy using the 590 more. just a far superior pump gun over the 870 but that 870 build is just too cool. waiting to find some wingmster wood for it.

Nice compact SG. I'd like one but could do without the howling wolf logo. Didn't care for the logo on my 590A1 Blackwater either……
grelmar, how does it shoot?

Yah, the wolf logo is somewhat cheesy, but overall, a fairly classy gun. I like wood and blued steel/black steel receivers, more than tactical plastic. I could claim I have a logical reason for it, and justify it up the wazoo but... Who'm I kidding? I just prefer the look of wood stocked guns.

As for how it shoots, I had it out on Sunday and did some pattern testing in the snow. With the fibre-optic front and rear sights, It's easy to aim, and the pattern hits where I'm pointing. I was using the cylinder and improved cylinder chokes on it, and with how it spreads with those two chokes, I'd give it a "humane" grouse shot out to 25-30yards. Add 5 yards or so to that if you switch to the tighter chokes.

I also ran a dozen slugs through it, off a bench at a target I had at the 50 yard stand. Recoil was stiff, but hey - 12 gauge slugs are not meant for bench shooting.

Center of the pattern was about 3.5" high right at 50 yards, which I would consider quite respectable for a short barrel (Score rifled slugs rated at 1560 FPS). And VERY consistent:

I'd call that safe to fill the freezer with deer meat out to 50 yards. Not sure I'd want to push much past that, though. The small holes were from walking in and zeroing a new rifle. With the holes all over the place, I figure it was a good target to shred with slugs.

Overall, it ran pretty well. When I was shooting target loads, the ejector on the top barrel got stuck a few times (2 or three times out of a box of shells) early on, then seemed to free up and run a bit better. It had been sitting freezing in my trunk for a while when I first started on the shot shells, so that might have been part of it. I'm going to switch to a lighter weight oil, and run a few hundred more shells through it before I really comment on that.
 
I know these guns aren't exactly popular on here due to the first two generation issues, but regardless here is my gen three UTS -15. It's worth mentioning that I've had no issues with firing this gun. No fte or ftf. A very fun little shotgun.
