-1 for sights. I wear assless chaps and wouldn't be able to line anything up with sites....

FIFY FTW

seriously guys...if its a HD gun/hallway gun why do you need sights? save the money youd spend on the sights and put a good light on it...put the light on what you wanna destroy and squeeze the trigger,I guarantee you'll take out what ever needs to be taken out.

That's kinda what I'm thinking.

 

[Muddy_Ford]

I think I'll just mount a glock with nightsights to the rail......

FTW!!!!

 

[groovatron]

thats good since itll be an HD gun...rifled barrels are for shooting sabot slugs. the smooth barrel is for shooting anything from bird shot to rifled slugs.
if you shoot buck shot or bird shot out of a rifled barrel the shot will spin in the barrel and scatter as soon as it exits the muzzle.

Sweet.........I picked up some 00buck and some slugs. I even got some 3" 00, but I'm assuming that's overkill..

 

[UncleMike]

I have an ACOG on my vacuum

ASSHAT!!!

 

[Muddy_Ford]

I noticed. It was me. ME ME ME ME!!!

Thanks Joe! I have to spread it around some before I can rep ya back.

Hmmm... our hallway is about 7 yards long or so. How big is a pattern of buckshot at that distance, even from an open cylinder bore?

10yrds and under you'll have a "pattern" that will be about the size of the bottom of a soda can. I still dont see a need for sights...then again Im a shotgun shooter and a traditional archery shooter I shoot by instinct.

Don't forget some regular birdshot for the gun too. That way you don't over penetrate and ventilate your neighbors house.

My boy's bedroom is up that hallway, between my bedroom door and the front door. Now, if someone gets to him before I get the gun and out the door, I think sights, or at least a bead, might be kind of useful if they are holding him between me and them.

I can't wait to let my 110# wife give it a go

Yup, that or rack it again to use a slug that you have in there for a follow up/vehicle disabling/well aimed shot.

That's one thing I'm plenty stocked up on

Not a good situation for a shot gun!

Might not be a good Idea!

I'm not saying your wrong,Joe.
to each their own..if your more confident with sights then by all means use em!
I'm very confident in my shooting ability with a shotgun with or without sights and no matter the situation. I guess it stems from my traditional archery back ground.

 

[groovatron]

Yeah, she's pretty tough, but I think I'd have to find some low-recoil stuff for her to shoot.

Yea, it really might not. My wife won't let me take my shotgun anywhere now.
Gonna have to buy a new one I guess.
