bkoenig Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Does anyone run one? I have an aversion to hanging extra stuff off my guns unless it's really necessary, but last weekend it was close to 100 degrees at the match I attended. My 930 sat in the sun for about 30 minutes before I shot a fast hoser stage, and after dumping 21 rounds through it I burned the crap out of my hand when I accidentally touched the barrel. One of the other guys in my squad burned himself so bad that he blistered 3 fingers. I got smart on the next stage and kept the barrel covered with a gun sock until it was my turn, but now I'm seriously considering a heat shield. I did a little googling and found that there are some fiberglass ones available. They might not be as strong as a sheet metal one, but I bet they would soak up a lot less heat.

I definitely noticed my 930 roasting after a couple quick bursts... However, I just used it as a training exercise for myself (learn will quick to not touch hot things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robley Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 My mossberg 590 came with a heat shield, and I have fielded a couple disparaging questions about it, but it is very functional esp as I strong hand reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsydlooknin75 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I just throw my Eberlestock shotgun scabbard over it and be done with it. I've never really understood the cool factor of a heat shield on a shotgun. Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also reload strong hand, although I've been meaning to start working on weak hand. That alone makes it much easier for me to burn myself.

goat68 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 My heat sheild is a weak hand glove when tube stuffing and both hands gloved when "Saiga"ing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
