Got this puppy in '84 when I was a cop in Alaska. Winchester 1200 Police, 12 ga. in 3" magnum, with a matte stainless finish. Back in the day, I pulled the walnut stocks off it (have 'em still) and had pistol grips fore/aft on it. It was my designated building entry/belly crawl gun. You KNEW you had a handful when you "one-handed" it with 3" slug and squeezed it off.
Well... nowadays, my door kickin' days are pretty much over with... so, I needed a kinder/gentler approach. Enter the Blackhawk/KNOX stock set. I still need to trim the fore end a bit, so it'll allow me to also use my shell holder on the receiver once again. I'm told it reduces felt recoil dramatically... I need to get it out and see for myself.
With the flip up rifled sight... I can set up a Yellow Pages phone book against a stump, and pace off 100 yds., send a slug from off-hand... and connect, twice in a row. Good enough for this ol' 'Dog. Oh yeah... I was standing in line at the bank to cash my paycheck when one of the locals I knew turned and asked me if I wanted to buy a gun. He hadn't even shot it yet... he took $100 cash for it. I love days like that. LOL
