The Sneaky Bag I reviewed is PERFECT as a Go-Bag for those of us who use shotguns on patrol.bc Great review.I take issue w/ the kiss concept in that not adding certain accy's like a forend light reduces the weapons effectiveness.I can think of no circumstance in which a fighting gun of any type should not have a light mounted to it, no to mention a sling that allows it to hang across the body when released.

JeremyVG Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 I agree that a light would add to the gun. My car gun does not have a light, so my personal gun stays the same. I have practiced manipulating the shotgun with a hand held light, and while it's not quite as slick as a mounted light, I've gotten fairly good. I do have a sling on my gun. Long guns need slings like handguns need holsters. I've said it in the past, and I'll say it again here: If I hit the lottery, my agency is getting a large donation of VERY specific gear. bc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnVassilakos Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Edited. Off topic. bc Unless I'm missing something the 870 is also a double arm pump... As for smoothness of the action, I've never played with a 1300 but it's tough to argue with the 870's track record. I torture tested my "hunting" 870 Express Magnum and did not clean it (other than wiping down the exterior) for 10 years. During this time I shot well over 1,000 rounds through it, including several wet and rainy duck hunting trips, a TON of rounds of skeet, and some "plunking" at stuff in the river (can't really call it "plinking" with a 12 gauge). It functioned perfectly the entire time and the only reason I cleaned it is because I chose to modify it and press it into use as a duty shotgun.

sotacticalithurts Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Nice. I like the part about Patterning. I've been toying with a few different loads, so it's good to see what others are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyVG Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Thanks. It's been educational for me, as well. My PD is presently using Remington Low Recoil, and when we rotate out there, I'm going to pick up a few rounds to test in my gun. Federal Tactical with the Flite Control wad is my next experiment. bc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
