Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Opsol Mini-Choke and how does it work?

The Opsol Mini-Choke is a rubber adapter designed for 12 gauge shotguns that allows for the reliable cycling of shorter shotgun shells, such as Federal's 'Shorty' slugs. It fits into the receiver and ensures the action cycles properly with ammunition that is shorter than standard 2.75-inch shells.

What issues did the Taurus CSX pistol exhibit during testing?

The Taurus CSX pistol experienced a recurring trigger reset issue. The trigger would not fully reset after firing, preventing a follow-up shot until the trigger was completely released and re-engaged. This occurred intermittently despite attempts to break in the firearm.

What are Talon Grips and what are the different types available?

Talon Grips are adhesive enhancements for firearm grips that improve handling and traction. They offer various textures, including rubber for a softer feel, granular (sandpaper-like) for maximum grip, and 'Pro' grips which provide a balance between the two, offering good traction without being overly abrasive.

What advice does hickok45 offer for young people regarding finances?

hickok45 advises young people to regularly track their net worth by listing assets and debts on a spreadsheet or pad. This practice helps in understanding one's financial standing, identifying areas for improvement, and making informed decisions about spending and debt management.

What is the significance of the Federal Shorty shotgun shells?

Federal Shorty shotgun shells are shorter than standard 12 gauge shells, containing rifled slugs. They offer a way to increase magazine capacity in certain shotguns when used with an adapter like the Opsol Mini-Choke, and they provide a potent payload for their size.
