I'm in the market for a new shotgun to shoot trap or sporting clays with. The pump I've been using isn't really made for it and it has trouble ejecting the lighter sporting shells

Budget around 1000. +- couple hundred

I know a over/under is nice but probably out of my price range
Something pretty light and mobile.

Any suggestions?
I've shot a benelli nova-ok but not a fan
I don't want a generic 870 like everyone else.

Have you looked at Beretta?

They're top notch when it comes to hunting shotguns. Spend some time checking them out. Beretta USA

You might also give FNH a looksy. FNH USA

My buddy shoots sporting clays with extraordinary success using his Benelli M4. A little out of the price envelope described, but that is a very fine shotgun.

+1 on the Beretta, by the way. Also excellent.

We will need a report and pictures of course. Are you considering anything else besides the P2000SK? I still can't believe that I picked it up for only $600.

For some reason I really want a Kel-Tec PF9 to tinker around with.

I kind of want to get a Glock 19 so I can stay with a "system," but Glocks are boring and I'd rather have the P2000SK.

I need to hold off though because I've got a bunch of stuff to buy for the 5.0 in the coming months... maybe later in the year. I really want one. So nice...

Thought about it some more and I also want a Ruger GP100 4" and a Bersa Thunder 380

m4a1mustang · 01-15-2012, 11:01 AM

Thought about it even more and I also want a Kahr CM9 and Ruger LCP.

Man, you want a lot of s**t! But I am guilty of the same thing

That is the great thing about ARs; you can spend $200-300 at a time and end up with a ultra high end weapon after a year.

As far as revolvers go, Rugers are by far and away my favorite. I have 4" GP100 .357 and don't feel the need to get any other revolver...maybe one in black or possibly a SP101?

Truer words were never spoken. Here's an excellent primer on appropriate tactical load out. This should give some of you guys some really good equipment ideas.

I just spent maybe $1200 at once on my AR and think I ended up with a high-end setup. All I need is an optic and I'm set. BCM

It isn't a beer can opener, though.

LOL...the only thing missing is a Fleshlight with a picatinny mount. Seriously, that rifle probably weights 30lbs. Why?

Even with the UBR this rifle weights less than 7lbs. without the scope:

Noveske barrels...polygonal rifling...

I am going back and forth between a Trijicon RMR, Reflex and Aimpoint of some sort. RMR is probably going to win.

In fact, I did just order the Ace Tactical Bottle Opener for my Picante rail. Can't wait to get it out to the Sheriff's range.

I already have a LaRue Tactical Beverage Entry Tool...
