  1. what you think is slow with a shotgun most likely isnt. Perception is not usually reality. especially comparing longguns to sidearms.

    To build on what Brian just said up there, wait for the gun to stop before you break each shot.

    if that still seems slow, which it probably will to you, then instead of trying to speed up the shooting, speed up the shotgun stopping.

    Thats accomplished via recoil control. balance forward, take a good grip on the shotgun, let the body soak up the recoil, and let it return back down on its own without you horsing it around.follow your front bead, lift and fall.

  2. Ive been known to talk a client out of lightening the bolt of a benelli, as has C-rums. I will say the difference is subtle, but I disagree that its "all show and no go". But C-Rums and I, and others still provide the service, its popular, and i do recommend it often, as what Im building are primarily race shotguns. The key word being race! Many times the average shooter (and race driver) is better off taking his time, going around the track in a controlled manner. But we all know that its no fun if you dont lay down the pedal to the floor (or trigger finger!) :)

    A good gunsmith needs to gauge his potential client; both in ability (current and future), as well in budget. Suggestions to shooters are not all the same. Take a look at an average club 3g match? Are there some folks that have other things to worry about than lightened carriers and gamey ammo? yes.

  3. dude, take your grip off the gun before you stipple it.

    Why? Because I couldn't take the grip off my M&p when I did it.

    I wanted to make sure the mag well would fit plus I was doing draws trying to decide how aggressive to go with the stippling and where I didn't want to stipple.

    because the plastic of the grip is under tension when installed, and the wrong application of heat in an area where youve sanded down the original thickness can cause the plastic to bend and warp.

    And stippling is probably more for recoil control while shooting than for draws. In fact, a rough textured gun can impede your draws more than help.
