people are looking for short bbls for some pump shotguns..but this is really not shotgun country. The idea of a "tactical" shotgun is just a kind of oxymoron to me..and most people. I think the tactical thing is hurting gun owner reputations a bit.. Not against 'em but around here quite a few tactical gun shops are operating.. most of the older hunters/shooters kind of look at 'em with a bit of distate. ARs etc sell well There are a bunch of guys using the AR 15s such as the Bushy varminters and the like on PDogs and many coyote shooters too. Even most of the older guys are buying one to use plinking varminting. Most are really surprised at the accuracy of the ARs..Many had Ruger Mini 14s and found them woefully inadequate for the most part.. I see many Mini 14s for sale..heck I even bought one for 175 bucks with scope and mounts...and handguns..can't keep a handgun. I picked up a 9mm pistol Saturday and had it on the table for 15 minutes. I bought 4 handguns to keep.. They are probably going through the roof in a few months if the Nobama critter wins. One of the buys was a Ruger Super BlackHawk made in 1961 in about 98% condition with a Ruger Flap Holster made by Bianchi..the gun is a collectible but the holster is very hard to find. and it is in the approx same condition as the gun. The grip frame the fellow wanted 200 bucks for...but he had the wide trigger for it if not putting it on a SBH and the grips too by the way. I didn't realize the grip frame will fit any old model Ruger...even the Single Six. I looked at some old catalogs and the brass grip frame was a 30 dollar item way back when. How's mama doing? Hope you are feeling better
