Level Of Difficulty at Work: .5 out of 10
Time During Lunch: None
Ahhh yea new toy..
The FN SLP Mark-1
Fluffielady would always ask what i want in life, to eat, a destination, a reason and every answer of mine would be one word. Shotgun! I had one a while back in my college days a Pump Mossberg 500, it was 199 from big5. A sturdy chunky thing that the forearm rattled. Anyhow i was starting to become a precision type of guy and sold the thing to my coworker who wanted one. I think about 100 rounds were fired off that one.
With me diddling in ipsc and 3-gun (once in a while). There came for a need in 3-gun for a shotgun (duh, 3-gun is pistol-rifle-shotgun). While i never did do the shotgun portion of it (most matches used 2 of the 3-guns). It intrigued me to want to try it out. Also with that silly law looming over gun owners i went ahead and purchased one in case things go sideways and get banned.
Now i coulda got the revered Benelli, but at around $1100 that hurt as well as the mods needed for speed shooting. After reading around the benelli is a little hard on the recoil since it's recoil operated. The reason why i got this was 1) i happen to find it cheap, about 200$ less than average priced. 2) it came spec'd for speed shooting, i just need to learn how to speed load though. 3) it's not any older but theres a newer model thats lighter but costs also in the $1000 range as well. 4) it's got speed! Faster in mechanical terms against the benelli. 5) It comes with a bunch of extra parts! Nifty!
Browning Bought the Winchester line of firearms, Browning outsources manufacturing to such places as FN. Thus the Winchesters exact twin to this FN is called the Winchester SX2. Well theres a newer version called the SX3 where the receiver and tube are different metallic materials (aluminum vs steel).
This is winchesters commercial for their sx3:
Can you say, daaang..
When i get to open range, hopefully i can record some of this.
