Smith and Wesson take on Keltec, MP12 shotty!

[TNThomas]

Interesting. I love the design, and have held all the KSG models (including the 25). I tried the decked out shotgun setup when I was younger. Side Saddle Mossberg 590 with front grip, rear grip, extra shells, rail, etc. I put a dowel in to bring the tube capacity into the legal realm and took it hunting for jack rabbits a few times with buddies. Thats when I realized that all the extra stuff was weighing me down. I couldn't get my sights lined up as fast, lift the gun as fast, cycle as fast, or track a moving animal as well as a plain jane pump. Plus, the front grip gives you extra torque on your action bars, making it easy to break if you put perpindicular force on it. Had a buddy break mine. Back to simple, light pump for me.

Thats how it appeared something like this would be with me as well - kind of bulky and hard to handle. I have experienced this with a few SBRs I have had the opportunity to handle and shoot. Some were so laden down with stuff it really negated the whole concept of what an SBR is supposed to be. I couldn't even comfortably shoulder a couple of them as bulky as they were.

This was my jack rabbit 'gitter at one time but it got partially parted out and turned back into a full size shotgun!

I used to have a Mossberg 500 bullpup as my HD shotgun, but it was bulky and heavy, although easy to shoot once you brought up to your shoulder. My Shockwave is much lighter and handier, especially as a truck gun.

Ummm, that was Kenny Rogers…

That's what makes it funny. Otherwise it's just an analogy.

I made the mistake of watching vids on this. I am buying one, just cause.
