So here is the situation. You are in your home, there has been some trouble with (insert name of group) and you hear someone trying hard to break into your home.

Handguns) Your rifles are downstairs but you have have several options in handguns....so which one and why?
All Guns) You have access to everything you own...(maybe your just finished cleaning them) Which one and why ?

Remember this is at home.
Also which ONE (1) first.

I stumbled upon a few of these primers recently. Is there any reason not to use them like any other LR Magnum primer when shooting through a bolt gun without a free floating firing pin? I can't think of any.

Unless others have seen it happen, I have a tough time thinking my rifle's firing pin won't hit the primer hard enough to set it off.

This would be a new load developed from scratch, so the powder reduction to compensate for the magnum primer would be built in.

Thanks.

Hi all!
done a lot of reading but nothing definitive. heard of people shooting 18" - 30" barrels. i thought i had settled on a 24" for my benelli m2. currently it has a 28".

then i start reading about shorter barrels not having the velocity to knock down targets farther out so a longer barrel is better because it has higher velocity and punch. (magazine size comes into question later w/ regards for regulations for certain classes?)

I don't want to go to short but not keep it too long, so i guess i guess if i average out the responses i've heard 24" and 26" are the most popular (at the moment).

this is my first shotgun so i'm not really sure what to expect. i want manuverabilty but also the force to reach out and know down metal targets w/ birdshot. wondering if i should just enter a few competitions first and see how it feels(?)

i read that Taran Butler was moved into "open" class b/c his magazine tube was too long.....but i don't know what his barrel length., more interested in his barrel than his tube (if anyone knows?) something about how many rounds you can have loaded before the buzzer (8+1 or 9+1, but not the over all capacity)...

anyhow, if you have any experience and advice i'd like to hear it. don't want to throw away $500 for each new barrel just to get it right. that gets expensive and takes $$ away from customizing it.

thanks!
