    I have no argument with this. I bought the 1187 SBS as a toy.


    I also have an 1187 SPS Deer that has filled my freezer many times over. I have no issue with the 1187 platform altogether. But, as a short barrel, if I ever thought I’d need it for ‘serious’ use, I would certainly have gone with an 870.

    Short barrel shotguns

    At some point, someone asked for night video of the Blue Dot loads.

    Yeah I bet that guy had lots of "Blue Dots" spinning around in his night vision after touching off that round.

    That guy is me. You might be surprised how little it actually did affect my night vision. That ball is dramatic, but so brief that it wasn’t really a problem.

    I expected flash. I didn’t expect the flash to be torso-sized! MSM called it (as did you and others) with regard to the chrony readings.
