Re: Let’s talk about shotguns for serious use.
Scott, is that a "Shockwave" or the like? I've been toying with the idea of getting one, just waiting on the right deal as I am not in a hurry. How is it to shoot?

Re: Grandpa's little Colt .25 ACP
That's very nice, Jason.
I have a few .25 CP's, but not a Colt. Maybe someday. I took the kids out shooting the pocket guns a decade+ ago, and they had a ball.

So, probably a silly question, but I imagine you have to remove the barrel first before using the FC cutter, right?
