    Re: Albino Shotgun Lovers---

    If I was going to spend that much on a shotgun, I am sorry it wouldn't be for that. I would just double what I was spending and get a b gun I/u

    Yup
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Pretty... but I'll just stick to my little .410 target plinker, and save that kind of money for the #1 .243 and .270 that I want to get.

    Re: Albino Shotgun Lovers---

    What prompted someone to design this? I can't imagine a scenario where I would need the ability to have 13 rounds at the ready in the snow. Am I a Swiss military skier? After 2 or 3 shots, any living target is either dead or gone. Both circumstances don't require 10 more rounds for back up. In the snow you are already going to be heavily dressed so the additional weight of the loaded gun seems a burden, not to mention that most winter clothes have pockets where additional shells would fit.

    Maybe if I lived in a polar region and I was only allowed one implement, then it makes sense. It could be a crutch, a club, a vaulting pole, and a spud to blow a hole in the ice for fishing. No fishing pole required, just shoot the fish.

    While I don't disagree, some people carry a full clip in their concealed carry gun plus two extra clips. I guess the theory is, if you can carry it, why not. lol...

    I don't know much about these "goose guns" but yea, the extended tube concerns me... I'm sure it would obviously get discolored from muzzleblast, and I wonder if it wouldn't start to get dissengrate in time?

    I agree, it's an answer seeking out the question.

    The only reason that I would ever buy this gun is IF I shot 3 gun competition and wanted a cool color.

    The theory for at least one extra mag is simple, the number one reason for failures in an auto pistol is the mag. The mag is the weakest link.

    Mr Murphy likes to show up during extreme stress and also when the odds are in his favor.
