Default New toy

I picked myself up a little early Christmas present with my bonus from work. :wiggle:








It's a Remington 870 Marine Magnum 12 gauge Nickel Plated Shotgun, I am in love . On another note... not sure if any of you have seen my daily carry.... Taurus Millennium Pro .40 Caliber Subcompact, best handgun I've ever carried.

nice looking shot gun! 870 express has always been my favorite, gotta 20 and a 12, but the nickel plating is real nice.

Those look nice! How does that Taurus compare to an XD?

A lot cheaper.

No, it shoots really well. This is my second one and I swear by them. I've had a Glock 26 and 17, a PPK 9mm and this is by far my favorite carry, easy to strip and clean, light (something like 23 oz.), and shoot perfect everytime, I get 3-4" groupings even with a subcompact frame/.40 cal. at 50 feet.

I have a PT145, its a great gun for carry. Little bigger then the 40 size and wieght wise but... oh well. However my XD40 is much more acurate, the XD ill use for competition but the its also a large frame vs. the compact taurus.
