sidesaddle

[LACamper]

my side saddle beat the **** out of my trigger finger and obviously a light is a necessity.

I just read the posting about the Awerbuck class and saw that Spanky wasn't happy with the sidesaddle. I haven't worked on my 870 yet. (I'd like to start shooting 3 gun matches...)
Has anybody else used anything different? Is everyone else having the same problem? Or is it just Spanky?
Is there more than one brand out there? I haven't really looked into parts for my shotgun...

I'm a lefty and using a pistol grip. If I were a righty or using the factory stock, it wouldn't have been an issue.

I'm going to be switching to the Mesa saddle so if you want to buy mine let me know.

This.

I put the Mesa on my Mossy about two months ago. Best gun accessory I've bought yet. Great people to work with too.

i'm a lefty too, and i didn't have ANY problems due to my side saddle (and i ran both a pistol grip and regular stock). of course, i'm running a mossberg, so the mounting plates are different.

the only issue i had with mine was when i tried running brass down and NOT pushing them all the way up. like that, the brass cut the **** out of my finger.

Interesting. From the pics I can see it attaches by replacing the trigger housing pins. I assume it does something similar on the front end? I'm thinking the 4 round without the scope mount.

What size mag extensions are ya'll using? or are you?

We need to talk... again.

While I was hitting quickly with the irons, I could actually see myself (OMG) putting an Aimpoint on the 11-87. It isn't really a perfect precision type thing, and the 4 MOA dot will almost cover the trajectory of the slug i I zero correctly.

"more **** breaks more."

3. Drill out to 115/1000"

fixed. I'm sure you won't confused 1.15" with .115" but i just wanted to get things straight for others.

Like mentioned before, he's one of those people! (Lefty)

On my Mossy it attaches by replacing the extractor screw with a button screw that the shell holder slides onto, and replacing the trigger group pin in the rear. One of my freinds has the Remmy 870, I wasn't paying complete attention when he was installing but, from what I do remember, I believe you are correct.

And just for an fyi, we both got the six shell without the scope mount.

ETA:

This is the only pic I have of it. Sorry.

4. Need a light mounted, but I'm thinking a figure 8 and a LED of some sort. The foreneds are bulky, expensive, and not an LED (i.e. prone to break)

This and a TRL-1 will do the trick and you'll only be out ~ $100 and you'll be able to use the light on other things if you want.

Why not just screw a section of scope base to the foreend? Then you could use a 1" scope ring to hold the flashlight.

Get those shotguns ready (handguns and AR's/Ak's also for that matter) we'll be shooting a three gun match in Vacherie 2nd Sunday in June if ya'll are interested.

I'll do you one better. $55 for a Surefire G2 LED and $15 for a Tacstar #4 mount. I believe that is the direction I am going... maybe on the AKs as well.

thats probably the route I'll go with my shotguns, cheap and dirty but it works. I need to get around to putting one on my duty less lethal gun, it doesnt have recoil so I'll probably save a bit and get a standard G2

I personally wouldn't reccomend that My H&k Shotgun came with a rail on the bottom of the handgaurd, It will tear your hand up. I am going to remove mine!

Your probably gonna want a few more lumes on the rifle.

(I used a G2 on my AK before I upgraded.)

A Military/LEO buddy can save you 25% w/ Surefire...
