So I have a Smith and Wesson 686 with a 7 inch barrel, and I was wanting to see if there was any gunsmiths in the panhandle that would be able to change it out (spare barrel provided)?
So I have some 20 gauge shells sitting around, more than likely intending on getting rid of them, but kind of wondering;
Are there any 20 gauge shotguns out there that excel past anything in 12 gauge, like something that just does a better job overall in that shell size?
Anyone own or shoot one of these?
How does it compare to other 22lr rifles like the Ruger 10/22, Marlin 795, etc.?
Been kind of considering adding a 22lr rifle to my safe, and thought this or some sort of take down rifle might be a good addition.
Going through my safe, realizing I may have one gun too many, so I'm reconsolidating atm, and these are three of them
Ruger LCP-2 in 22lr, fired a few times for functionality (selling for $250)
*SOLD*
Mossberg Shockwave in 12 gauge, used in good condition, functions well (selling for $350)...
Maybe the Remington Model 11, something similar.
Is it over hyped when compared to similar semi-auto shotguns?
Is it a durable shotgun, or is it really finnicky?
Is the "sweet sixteen" worth the hype over the 12 gauge?
Anything I should keep in mind when looking for one?

And a bit off topic, anyone get the two or three stories involving shootings in self defense (ie the story with the two kids in the car being carjacked, the home owner in GA...
Been thinking of solving my 40 Smith and Wesson problem by getting a familiar platform, but I want that extra modularity.
So if I were to get a Beretta 96, could I get a 92FS slide+barrel+magazines that will function for it to shoot 9mm?
Was overhearing a bill called HR 7819 that was being passed up to the House of Commerce and Energy that would remove legal protections for discussions on websites for firearms, thoughts on it?

Found this right here, happened on Wednesday and didn't even get noticed, so I'm doing my due diligence and passing it around.
Thinking of buying another shotgun soon, more than likely a pump action, and I've seen that 20 gauge is less likely to over penetrate versus 12 gauge; is it worth for the sake of safety to invest into a 20 gauge, or would a 12 gauge be fine as is?
