Got a shotty

[jacob]

Picked this up yesterday, Mossberg 930 SPX.  Took for a range visit today.  I am pretty impressed so far.  I've seen mixed reviews online regarding reliability cycling lower powered loads.  Shot a couple of different brands of slugs, 00 buck, and some small game loads out of it today.  Did have a couple of issues cycling the lower powered small game stuff, but I am thinking it was more letting the gun have control instead of me.  Might stick a red dot on the picatinny rail, or might not.  Definitely thinking this is a keeper....

Nice!! I guess it's the angle but that barrel looks shorter than 18".

I noticed that also after I took the photos...must be some kind of optical illusion at work, it is definitely an 18" barrel...

Congrats!  That thing looks mean!

 

I have the 13rd version and LOVE IT!  I hope the cycling on yours gets better.  I am pretty fortunate I guess in that the one I got works with everything, all the time.  I only got it to hang up once with a light 1oz target load by holding it at my side and shooting it kinda one-handed, barely holding on to it; effectively limp-wristing it.

 

Enjoy!

I am thinking it will....the only time I would see myself using light loads on this would be for training....00 buck and slugs will be used otherwise....

Ain't that the truth! Well, you can always figure that you'll get to shoot hers too :)

Bought one last week with the pistol grip and I'm really diggin it!

Sweet....nice pick up. :up:

i have always figured that those shotguns are designed as Self defense/ Home defense weapon so the gas chamber would be designed more for those particular rounds and not for low powered hunting loads.......jmho

Good job. Get her a new gun, get yourself a new gun. That works almost every time. (Don't ask how I know.)

 

Anyway...great looking shotty. Looked at the 930 and have been very tempted.

 

Maybe someday.
