Shotguns

[jb1911]

I was wondering why there is so little interest in shotguns on this forum.

I have seen plenty of threads about shotguns.
Im sure there is just as much interest as there is for semi-autos, revolvers, rifles and other firearms.

 

[jb1911]

On the first 2 pages of this forum there are only 2 threads about SGs, and this is one of them.

The subject comes and goes. I have seen a lot about shoty's on here and I read them avidly.

IMO, there is less talk about shotguns because most people already have them and use them, and don't really need more info about them. Everybody wants to talk about their new AR/AK/SKS etc etc and all of the accessories they have for it. Shotguns, not so much. I'm sure that pretty much everybody who is active on the forum has one, but just doesn't feel the need to talk about it.

^^^This^^^ And also the "come and go" explanation. Same with Mosins... there will be a rash of Mosin threads (especially in spring it seems) and then they settle down.

Because only Keltec makes shotguns (reportedly).

You might find more scattergun talk in the hunting forums.

And if you want to partake of such dialogue, don't call it a friggin' "shotty".

I hate that %$#@ word.

I find the usage of that word to be shoddy.

 

[saberstar]

I think that shotguns dont really have many problems so..... Least I have never had a prob with any of mine : ).

Well, excuse me. Did not mean to excite your tender sensibility's. I got that term from my Uncles...Army rangers. Carry on.......

Me too.

 

[churchmouse]

no jab but they always have been and always will be Shotty's to me....deal with it.............

 

[advan031]

Well, I bought a Benelli M2 with pistol grip for my first shotgun today

 

[blamecharles]

I am just about finished with a HD shotgun project, only need a forend for it. It is in the HD shotgun conversion thread. Got all the info for it here on INGO.

 

[Hookeye]

Those who call them such will not have anything sold to them by me.
I also will not buy from them.
And I won't help when they post problems with their gear.
I deal with it just fine

I do all of my chatting about shotguns over on Shotgunworld.com. Very good group of people with a vast amount of knowledge on shotguns, especially for collectors. No offense to anyone here, but there just doesn't seem to be much interest in fine shotguns.

I love Belgium Brownings (Auto-5 & Superposed) and I spend all of my time in the Browning subforum. You should check it out.

Clearly the reason why there isn't much talk about shotguns is because the conversation starts and ends with the 870 being the best proven shot gun for all purposes!
