  1. Had a buddy do this to me. Over the years I've heard the same thing from others who've dealt with him, as a matter of fact just last Thursday. He is gradually working his way around the contractors and friends he knows and has. This circle of support is slowly drying up and his life is getting more difficult because less people will deal with the guy. I lost some money, about a grand with time and material added up. Didn't lose a friend though. Friends don't do that to each other. Thought he was, I was just misinformed. ;)

  2. Sure. You only have to make minimum PF.

    In IDPA, as long as the loads used chronograph, you can use more than one load. Just provide chrono loads for each load used.

    I have used 2 different loads at a sanctioned match. I made sure I sent both to the chrono check. At the time I was shooting lead bullets for the majority of my shooting, but wanted to use a plated bullet for an indoor low light (more correctly - no light) stage that required you to use a flashlight.

    OP, think your answer is here^^^

  3. I had one and it came with two extras and a few extractors too. Never had to replace either, but was nice to have them. I do not think it is a design problem though. The recoil system is very similar to the BHP. Lots of pistols use a linkless barrel action. Just the nature of the beast.

  4. Presentation, index, reloads, transitions and movement can all be practiced at home without great difficulty. Took me to where I can focus on shooting a stage as opposed to shooting the gun.

  5. Thanks guys! Calling around for a stock right now. Yeah, I think my wrist is finally getting arthritis. It just always hurts a little or a lot. I love shooting this shotgun, just don't like to feel it for the days afterward. Not the kind of memory I want to have of my fun day at the range.

  6. Just took my Supernova out to run some boxes of shells through it and noticed that the traditional grip is bothering my right wrist quite a bit. So..... have any of you put a pistol grip on a Supernova, is it a stock Benelli item I can purchase, and if you have had the same issues with your wrist and traditional SG/long gun stocks, was the pistol grip your answer.

    BTW, I really love this shotgun. it is really easy to load, and operates super. I have never owned a pump gun that I liked quite as much as this one.

  7. Get the 17 now. Get the 34 later. I did this and am not unhappy or unsatisfied. I cannot for the life of me tell the difference when I shoot them. or in dry fire. Same mags, same sights, dunno but I can't even decide to be honest. Really like them both about the same.

  8. I go on my day off and roll through all the local places that people shoot which aren't official ranges. I have found that they rarely pick up any brass and I get all the 9mm I need for a season in one day usually, or in a weekend for sure. Take it home, tumble, resize, tumble and bag for processing at a later date. Get enough 9mm or whatever caliber I'm looking for this way.

  9. If you don't mind the brass cost, I really do not see too much of a down side to shooting 10mm as opposed to say .45 or 40S&W. I really appreciate the bullet weight and velocity options too. I would imagine over all feeding is better with the longer cartridge.

  10. I have always loved when the law enforcement people have chosen to use our range. They never, ever, pick up their brass. I used to hit the range right after them once a year if I could. I had enough brass the first time to shoot over a year. 9mm, .40, 10mm, Loads of 40 and 9mm. Always polite, sometimes if I am there and they show up on one of the regular days not scheduled for them, the CHP trainer would let us run his course. Lots of fun, and very eye opening.

  11. That is great that you got your gun back. I hope that there is a special place in hell for the type of people that think this is okay and business as usual. Well I hope the price of his business is a few years if not a decade in federal lock-up. Isn't the theft of a firearm and the sale of a stolen firearm federal offenses?

    Glad you got it back! Just curious though, what did the thief have it priced at? Just Kidding!

    On a serious note I would be interested in hearing about the spring loaded safeties if you could pm me I would appreciate it.

    Thanks.

  12. Let them rust again, spray them with rust encapsulate, steel wool, repeat, then oil them. Or liver of sulfur, or cupric nitrate for color and steel wool repeat until you get your desired color. They will be patina of your liking.
