To an earlier point, I can verify that the sound of a pump shotgun being racked IS, indeed, sufficient to scare someone off. I had an intruder on the back deck of a vacation cabin in NC some years ago and after I chambered a round, the next thing I heard was very hurried footsteps away from the house.

I have also never had a jam and I've used some pretty beat-up and poorly maintained shotguns in my time. That said, I keep mine clean and use the proper ammo. A pistol grip gives me the mobility I would need, but for those interested in something more compact (and illegal without reams of paperwork), check this:

Weak. Sorry about that.

i've been a big fan of 1911s as long as i've known about firearms, but i've always shied away from getting one because none are lefty friendly, even the ones with ambidextrous safety & slide release wasn't good enough. anybody know if there's a true left-handed 1911 out there with port to the left and magazine release on the right in addition to the slide & safety?

 

Never heard of one.

Interesting idea though. Hope it works better than those "lefty" scissors from elementary school though...

 

Don't know if you've searched the gun forums or not...

For starters.

Good luck.

 

I've never seen a left-side ejection port on a 1911. Post up if you find one (just curious, I'm no lefty).

 

If you find one let me know. Always tough to find stuff for south paws.

 

lefties were not meant to shoot then.

Nice pic's guys. I'll need to post some of my recent purchases.
