GunDigestPROFESSIONALEDITORIALPACKAGE

by M.D. Johnson

When I began my hunting career in the fall of 1972, I

had but one shotgun – a hand-me-down .410 single

shot made by the good folks at Harrington and Rich-

ardson. I used it for everything; cottontails, squirrels, pheasants

and even the occasional mallard. Christmas, 1979, found a long

brown box under the living room couch containing a 16-gauge

Model 1100. It marked my evolution from single-shot to multi-

shot. Still, I remained a one-gun gunner.

My father also had but one shotgun, a Remington 12-bore

Model 1100 autoloader. This he gifted himself, so he explained,

when it was decided to retire his original all-purpose shotgun,

a Mossberg Model 500 pump purchased in Salt Lake City as

he made his way home from Fort Lewis to Ohio following his

all-expenses-paid tour of Southeast Asia.

The point is that back then, we were one-shotgun hunters.

One gun to do literally everything throughout the whole of

the hunting year.

Today, it’s not as common for a man to be both an avid

hunter and shoot but one shotgun for every species he

might pursue. There’s a gun for turkeys and a gun

for doves, and lest we forget, a shotgun

for waterfowl, one tailored for the necessity that is non-toxic

shot. There’s a lightweight over/under or side-by-side for up-

land birds, and a highly customized piece sporting a rifled

barrel and big-dollar optics used only for whitetails. So, that

said, is an all-purpose or ultra-versatile shotgun out of the

question in this Modern Age? Is the one-shotgun shotgun-

ner a thing of the past? Certainly he need not be, for there

are several excellent examples of multi-purpose shotguns,

both new and not-so-new, available today. It’s simply a mat-

ter of knowing what elements go into categorizing a shotgun

as versatile, and then being content with but a single space in

six-gun cabinet being filled – and that, to some, is the most

difficult thing to do.The Versatile Shotgun Defined

This portion of the story can prove somewhat touchy in part

due to the fact that 100 shooters may have 100 different defini-

tions of what constitutes a versatile shotgun. That being the case,

and calling on the fact I’m an elementalist, we’ll take

a look at what I’ll refer to as the basics of versatil-

ity. The shotgun might be...

•Used for multiple species – To my mind, this

shotgun can span the hunting seasons. It

can be used not for one species, but sev-

eral with no modifications, or at the very

most, simple changes or additions, the

particulars of which we’ll discuss briefly.

To reference my father’s Model 1100,

which features a 28-inch fixed modified

vent-rib barrel and 2.75-inch chamber,

this piece was used, literally, for every-

thing from grouse to gobblers, including

a dozen or more Ohio whitetails taken

using old school Foster rifled slugs out of

the smoothbore barrel. Over the 40 years

he’s used the M1100, he’s never felt handi-

capped in any way nor for any reason,

even with the requirement of non-toxic

shot in the early 1990s. “I’ve killed every-

thing you can kill with this gun,” he’s told

me many a time. “I shoot it well, and re-

ally don’t see any reason to change.” That’s

the key here – he shoots it well.

•Modified with simple and affordable

aftermarket parts – Again to me, the ulti-

mate versatile shotgun performs all func-

tions and across all seasons without the

need for any modifications. However, if a

used fully rifled barrel for $150 or a $30

choke tube adds another dimension to

the gun’s capabilities, then so be it. Inter-

changeable choke tubes, by their nature,

contribute to a shotgun’s versatility, as do

multiple barrels, particularly if those bar-

rels offer alternative sighting methods, i.e.

Red Dots, scopes, or fiber optics.

•Capable of handling a variety of am-

munition types. Ammunition lends much

to a firearm’s versatility, and perhaps no-

where is this truer than the world of the

shotgun. Once more I refer back to my

father’s M1100, a piece which has re-

gurgitated literally tens of thousands of

shotshells – lead, steel, bismuth, tungsten,

Hevi-Shot – launching pellets ranging in

size from #8 lead for doves to F and T steel

goose loads, and everything in between.

This particular gun, originally with no

modifications, has also served him well

for whitetails when filled with, first, rifled

slugs, to his present combination of a 20-

inch rifled barrel topped with iron sights,

and launching Lightfield Hybred EXP

sabotted slugs. All well and good; howev-

er, swap my father’s 2.75-inch chamber for

a 3-inch, or better yet, a 3.5-inch, and the

ammunition choices – along with those

situations in which the shotgun might be

comfortably used – increase dramatically.

•Employed as a home-defense weapon

– As I write this piece, I can see in the cor-

ner my father’s 1966 Mossberg Model 500

pump. Still wearing her original stock, the

pump sports a new synthetic fore-arm.

The wood fore-arm, broke years ago, and

I must admit I rather like the solid feel of

the heavily-grooved plastic – and, in place

of her factory 28-inch barrel, a very short

18.5-inch tube in improved cylinder. Filled

with five rounds of 2.75-inch #2 lead, the

Old Girl gives me a warm fuzzy feeling

every time I look at her. Come Novem-

ber, it takes but seconds to swap the short

barrel for the 28-incher, exchange the lead

for steel #2s, and be fully prepared for the

next flight of mallards or Canada geese.

True, that means that particular piece is

no longer guarding my home; fortunately,

Julia Carol, my wife, has her own pet proj-

ect in the corner.

•Affordable. Now, affordable is in the

eye of the beholder, one man’s Chevrolet

½-ton is another man’s Porsche. Should

cost be a factor when it comes to defining

versatility in shotguns? As much as I want

to say yes, I don’t believe it should. A quick

electronic walk through the ‘Net revealed

a Remington M870 Express Combo – 12-

gauge, with 26-inch interchangeable tube

barrel, and 20-inch fully-rifled deer barrel

with iron sights – for roughly $550; an ex-

cellent price for a most versatile shotgun.

For $400, Mossberg’s M500 pump, com-

plete with 28- and 24-inch barrels, can be

had. If you want an autoloader those pric-

Is it an upland game gun, a deer gun, a turkey gun, a waterfowl gun or a home-

defense gun? The answer is yes. The shotgun is just that versatile and offers

something for everyone. No matter what you want the shotgun will do it.

NEW PRODUCTS for 2010 |

■ Improved Rear Sight, Safety and Slide Stop

C.O. Arms has made innovative changes and improvements to

1911 parts such as the rear sight, safety and slide stop. These

new designs are part of the C.O. Arms concealed carry tactical

(CCT) parts line.

The CCT slide stop is available in stainless steel, blue or

a Teflon “carry-tuff” finish with a shaft size of .199 for a

good, tight fit. With a radial pad to eliminate sharp edges,

the slide stop is

extended rearward

for easy one-hand

operation. The

CCT thumb safety

boasts the same

unique character-

istics as the slide

stop. The “low drag, no snag” thumb pad designed to guide

the gun in and out of the holster while giving the shooter a

generous thumb pad to hit for fast draw scenarios.

The C.O. Arms replacement rear sight for series 70 and

before 1911 handguns gives your pistol the look of a military

issue 1911 with some new advantages. An extra wide .165

notch allows for fast, clear acquisition of the front sight. The

edges of the sight are radial to prevent snagging upon draw.

This sight fits Colts, and most clones with .330 x 65 dovetail.

Some fitting may be required.

CALIFORNIA:

Lawsuit Against Glock Dismissed

In CalIfornIa, a los angeles Supe-rior Court judge dismissed a lawsuit brought by a retired los angeles po-lice officer, who sued the gun manu-facturer Glock, after his three-year-old son shot him.

as reported by the orange County register, “Enrique Chavez, now 39, of anaheim, was off-duty when he was shot on July 11, 2006, while driving his ford ranger near Harbor Boulevard and la Palma avenue. His son, who was not in a car seat, got a hold of the father’s .45-caliber Glock while sitting in the back seat and shot him in the back, according to police reports. Chavez was left paralyzed from the waist down.”

In 2008, Chavez sued Glock, alleg-ing that the gun’s safety was, “non-existent or ineffective.”

However, “In dismissing the suit, los angeles Superior Court Judge Kevin C. Brazile cited an ‘exhaustive review’ of the gun’s safety conducted by the los angeles Police Department before a purchase.” ■

Paul Dorr, of ocheyedan, Iowa, held a concealed carry permit from the late 1990s until 2006. But in 2007, osceola County Sheriff Douglas Weber turned down Dorr’s carry permit ap-plication. as the Des Moines regis-ter reported, “Weber wrote on the denied application: ‘Concern from Public. Don’t trust him.’”

Yet, as it turned out, the sheriff de-nied that carry ap-plication for all the wrong reasons, many of them tied to Dorr’s first amendmentrights to free expres-sion. That was the opinion of u.S. Dis-trict Court Judge Mark W. Bennett of the northern District of Iowa, who recently ruled for Dorr in a case that challenged the permit denial.

“The court finds a tsunami, a mael-strom, an avalanche, of direct, uncon-troverted evidence in Sheriff Weber’s own testimony to conclude beyond all doubt that he unquestionably violated the first amendment rights of … Paul Dorr,” wrote Judge Bennett. “This is a great reminder that the first amend-ment protects the sole individual who may be a gadfly, kook, weirdo, nut job, whacko, and spook, with the same force of protection as folks with more

majoritarian and popular views.”Dorr had a reputation as a strong

anti-abortion advocate. He had also challenged county officials numerous times over what Dorr contended was over-spending in the county budget.

In testimony, Weber admitted that he had heard Dorr referred to as a “nut job,” and a “whacko,” because of Dorr’s strong political views.

“In his ruling….Bennett ordered the osceola County sher-iff to immediately is-sue Dorr a nonprofes-sional permit to carry a weapon,” the Des Moines register not-

ed. “The judge also ordered Weber to successfully complete a court-ap-proved course on the united States Constitution within the next five months.”

“Dorr was denied a permit precisely because Sheriff Weber believed that [Dorr’s] free speech rights offended the majority of voters in osceolaCounty,” Judge Bennett wrote. “In denying (Dorr) a concealed weapons permit, Sheriff Weber single-hand-edly hijacked the first amendmentand nullified its freedoms and protec-tions.” ■
