my friend told me that and i don’t believe it. How come you can buy a shotgun that can blow an arm off when you turn 18, but you can buy a pistol when you turn 21.
I want to buy a shotgun since I’m not old enough to buy a pistol yet( stupid law). I heard that if you shoot up in the air with a pistol the bullet could fall back down and kill someone, but what if you shot in the air with a shotgun will the bullets come falling down And kill someone I hope not.
I think a shotgun is an excellent HD gun for a novice or inexperienced shooter, but for someone that practices on a regular basis and is very proficient, wouldn’t a pistol suffice?
By the way, I am far from a novice. Very far.
I just turned 18 and can’t get a licensed pistol until i’m 21. I wanna know if I buy a shotgun can I keep it in my trunk. Or in my backseat in a case or something without the police giving me any problems
I live in Ohio by the way
If not what KIND of gun would you recommend. I’d tie a rope in the whole in the back of my shotgun and carry it on my back. Or should i get a small automatic to backup my automatic, or maybe a pistol? I guess it kinda depends on the automatic too huh. Well i haven’t decided yet. MY shotgun is a stinger s32p with 350fps and i have a pistol with 200.
I meant airsoft sorry.
Hello, I just wanted to ask if an International Student who is legally here in US can purchase a shotgun or maybe pistol for home defense? Doesn’t have green card, just permanently in US for education, maybe stay here in the future. Is it possible to do it? Or law requires to be resident here? Thank you.
It is hard to get, but technically, in the US, someone could possibly get a federal permit for an assault rifle at 18. That same 18 year old could buy a shotgun or hunting rifle, but they couldn’t buy a 22. pistol, or any other handgun. Isn’t that strange?
I went to Benelli, and I do not see a pistol gripped stock for the cordoba. My question is what kind of accesories can I get for my Cordoba? Looking to purchase some self-defense, and hunting accesories. Thank you
I was thinking either a mossberg 500 12 gauge shotgun, or a glock 17 9 mm hanndgun pistol, any suggestions? ALso, incase someone broke in, would a shotgun be the smarter choice? When my dad comes by my house, I do want to take the weapon to the range too. thanks.
Most holsters, like Fobus holsters, are in general designed to give protection to the handgun, secure retention, and ready access. Holsters are generally designed to be used with one hand. To be able to return the object to a holster one-handed, the holster must-be-made from stiff material that maintain the form, so that the holster won’t crumple when the object is cannot be able to give support since it is no longer inside.
New holsters may fit-inside a pocket, to put in stability and protection to the handgun, making it securely reliable and open than if it were in the only in the pocket.
Categories by method of wearing
Types of Popular holsters
“Outside the waistband” (OWB) or belt holsters are mostly used by law enforcers and military, and by citizens who cull to open carry. Belt holsters and can be concealed under a long, not tucked jacket or shirt.
“Inside the waistband” (IWB) holsters, which clip or mount to a belt and allow one to safely holster the firearm inside the pants offers the owner the option of folding a shirt on the firearm and holster.
“Shoulder holsters” consist of two straps connected in a manner comparable to a knapsack. Holsters on the shoulders are designed to position the handgun:
1. in a perpendicular position, with the barrel pointed generally toward the ground;
2. in a vertical position, with the barrel regularly pointed towards the top;
3. in a straight position, with the back of the wearer is usually the barrel is pointed.
The “belly band” holster is a wide elastic belt with a built-in holster, normally kept under shirts untucked, to facilitate access. To remain in place, a belly band have to be excessively tight; this is usually uncomfortable – it is the same as wearing a girdle.
“Pocket holsters” are used for tiny firearms, same as a mousegun or back up gun.
“Small of Back” holsters put the weapon directly over the center of the back, allocating for even big handguns to be carried with little printing. While both comfortable and stylish, by accident the user fall onto the weapon (such as in a close contact combat) serious injury of the spinal column (including paralysis) may occur.
“Groin holsters” carry the handgun oftentimes below the waistline around the 12:00 position. There are no body movement restrictions and not so many clothing limitations with this type of holster.
“Thigh holsters” are a popular military and police-item that holds the sidearm on the leg right where the hand naturally hangs, creating for moderately fast of drawing. Today, this is with a drop leg PALS grid with a modular holster affixed. Police and armed forces associates and personnel wear these when a large vest makes unusual belt carrying.
“Ankle holsters” present excellent concealment and are used constantly by law enforcement offiers who wish to carry a secondary weapon to support the regular firearm.
“Chest holsters” can be connected to MOLLE compatible vests and chest carriers. Like shoulder holsters, chest holsters are regularly not hard to draw from than belt holsters when the operator is seated inside a vehicle. Other, extinguished kinds of holsters are made to be kept inside a briefcase, day planners, purses and filofaxes, or even piece of clothing.

I use Trenchgun + Bayonet
sticky/tabun
Magnum
Bazooka(for farther targets).
Stopping power
Steady aim
So my question is, what is the best pistol to use with the trenchgun? Because the trenchgun is a close quarters weapon, i think that a pistol that is more accurate from a far range will be better. I’ve tried the magnum, and it doesn’t seem that accurate at a far range because the first shot hits and the next 5 misses. So should I use the Tokarev or the magnum? I know magnum is stronger, but if it can’t hit targets at medium range then it doesn’t matter. Also, should I use frags or stickies? I heard stickies are good for CQC where you’re in a tough position and you just need to lob out a grenade ( like reloading the shotgun).
Thank you for your help.
whoops i meant to put it in the video games section. Sorry.
I brought this semi atuo .22 cal riffle a few weeks back because of it weight and value. It even came with a scope. So far I been practicing and the barrel isnt too long so it is manueverable to protect the safe room. I need some opinions here though about it. You could compare and contrast it to a shotgun or pistol of you all want.
My buddies and I went shooting today, and after skeet shooting for a while we decided to set up a poor man’s tactical course. If I’m just standing there I can hit my target pretty well with my pistol, but it’s SO much harder to hit your target when you’re moving from place to place and trying to be quick. We were using our pistols and 12 gauges. Reloading the pistol is a piece of cake obviously, but reloading the 12 is so hard when you’re "under pressure."
So how do I learn to load the 12 gauge faster? Is there a certain stance I should be using when shooting pistol/shotgun? Anything else I should know about the sport? I’m right handed and right eye dominant, if that helps. It was just a lot of fun and I want to get better at it. Thanks
Oh yeah, I have no money to pay for any kind of classes
In airsoft I’m a sniper I would like to use a shotgun as a CQB weapon so when it comes down to it I can quickly pull it out so I do not have to use my pistol.
If anyone knows of any tactical vests that have a rifle holster on the back so I can pull my shot gun in CQB please post.
I am a normal air-softer. I have a good primary weapon etc. Ever since I’ve started though I’ve always wondered if a shotgun or pistol is better as a backup. I mean, pistols are small and compact, but usually aren’t very accurate unless u spend tons on a gas version. Shotguns usually have better accuracy but are also bigger. Which gun should I go for as a backup weapon?
The barrel say’s 24 inch "slugster" so is this only for slug use? Im a pistol/rifle expert but know nothing about shotguns. Thank you
It says slugster but when i looked in the barrel with a mag light it looks smooth???
I called mossy today and the said this barrel can shoot any 12 ga 2 3/4-3 in shot shell. Thanks for your answers
to learn about the pro's and con's of each as well as the biggest mistake all the "heavy artillery" guys make when choosing "terminator ammo"!
(Hint: It has nothing to do with "stopping power" but it's nearly as important to your family that you get this right! Not doing so could cost you a lifetime of grieving that no law-abiding family should suffer...EVER!)Read More...
