[QUOTE="Sunshine_Shooter, post: 3085121, member: 9359"] *tube-fed shotgun. Fixed it for you :) That argument could be re-written that if a person cannot reload a revolver cylinder with loose rounds proficiently, then they don't know how to run a handgun, yet no one bats an eye at speed loaders and/or moon clips. Or box mags in semiautos... But seriously, there is no reason not to have box mag shotguns everywhere. The single biggest weakness of the shotgun is the tube magazine. That is [I]precisely[/I] why 3-gun emphasizes reloading the darn thing so much. Box mags make the gauge a more usable weapon against actual human opponents, period. Isn't the whole point of 3-gun or other multigun comps to simulate (within reason, of course) actually using your weapons defensively? If the heart of the sport is to be proficient with real-world guns, then why do we keep the antiquated tube-fed shotgun around? Every other part of the sport is aluminum rails, polymer frames, electronic sights or low power variables, pushing technology. But the shotgun? Revolver guys have their own divisions and competitions all the time, and for the same reason. [/QUOTE]
