Oh...'cause I have a mag extension for it and it didn't come with one. Are they just generic fitment thingies?

Pretty much. It's just a clamp. It also usually has a handy sling swivel on the left side, so one can attach a mall ninja three-point "tactical" sling.

What's that?

A three point sling?

Here's one example: http://www.usgalco.com/HolsterP3.asp...&CatalogID=404

So...how is that different from a regular sling? I mean, I say just get a standard sling and wear it like a normal person.

an aimpoint red dot site on a shotgun...wtf?

I mean, I'm putting a red dot on mine when I get it, but not an Aimpoint. I think it's pretty unnecessary to have a $400+ scope on a shotgun that can't group better than 5-6" at 50 yards. I'll be getting a cheapo, but I'll still zero the ghost rings.

Did you actually read the product description? It's totally different from a standard two-point sling...at least if you know about guns and fighting with them. But you don't need a tactical sling, anyway, so it's a moot point.

I wish your cheapo dot sight a lot of luck standing up to 12 gauge recoil.

js, tactical shotguns are pretty commonly outfitted with dot sights now. They offer the same advantages on a shotgun as on carbines and pistols.

Anyone we know?




Exodus?

What day?

Cripes. Please hold the Zoolander jokes.

No, I didn't read the product description. I figured it was similar to the backpack straps on my golf bag...you can wear it like a backpack instead of just slinging it over your shoulder, which helps when you're playing 18 holes in the summer heat.

Well it's only about $50, so if it shatters with a slug, I'll probably get something nicer.

Put the dot on the target and pull the trigger.

I had no idea... I've learned something new today.

heck.. my 870 with sabo slugs does 3" groups... it's worth it, but then again, depends on what you are hunting..
