Not yet. But I didn't expect to be. I've been shooting open sights for almost 45 years and I haven't gotten used to them yet. Same goes with my VP9. I'm just learning how to use it properly. I think, given my poor eyesight, that these things will help - once I get the hang of using them.
The process just might be getting simpler...

Seems like, among other things, the engraving and CLEO notice would go away if these rules are adopted.
Sorry for the delay in updating this thread with my results. But here's what I've found:
I scraped up 19 3" magnum rounds (5 slugs, 5 defensive 00 Buck rounds, 9 turkey loads) to test the BOP on my 500 I didn't have the guts to test these loads on the Shockwave. Anyway, it held up better than...
LOL! I do too. I unloaded the Shockwave and removed the side saddle rounds to install the BOP, and when I decided to take the pics, I just jabbed the shells into the side saddle without thinking. Normally, they would've been brass down. I was too lazy to take more photos and hoping nobody would...
Thank you, Ernst!
I like the Shockwave as it is, but I'd like to have the SBS option with the additional rounds in the stock. For now, I'm just kicking around the idea, but I might go for it since it's now free to file.
I just found this thread, so I'm late to the party but...
I've been thinking about it. I'm not entirely clear on the process, or the correct form(s) - but I'd love to put a TactaLoad Flash 5 on my Shockwave.
I've got two that I try to live by:
"If you have an opportunity to accomplish something that will make things better for someone coming behind you, and you don't do that, you are wasting your time on this earth." Roberto Clemente

It arrived today, but it's raining and I can't test it.
However I've found some things I like about it:
First, it does fit well on the Shockwave (with the Crimson Trace Laser Saddle). Monstrum included enough screws in the box to supply a small hardware store, so finding the correct fit was...
Hmmm...I just checked out the Raven. Seems pretty nice. Kinda makes me wish that I would have waited before buying the two Vortex Sparc Solar dots. I just hope that the BOP is as durable as your Raven.
Let me preface this post by saying that I'm not a big Monstrum fan, but...
I was surfing the net and stumbled upon the Monstrum B.O.P. shotgun red dot. It looks a lot like the Vortex Viper SG...except for the price. Whereas the Vortex dot runs about $350 on Amazon, the Monstrum version is only...
Has anyone tried this combo? Just wondering if there's a drastic change in cheek weld.
PSA has the optic on sale for $90 ($110 with shipping and tax), so I decided to give it a try on a shotgun (I've already got the green dot version on my AR and really like it).
Just wondering if anyone can...
Just an update: the Treeline forend crapped out on me. Completely dead. And yes, i swapped out batteries. DO N
OT BUY this piece of crap...regardless of cost on Ebay. I JUST HOPE NOBODY BOUGHT ONE, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THE PLUG.
Ernst,
I'm not sure about the power of the minishells. But my homebrew shells are simply birdshot with shortened hulls, shortened wad, and a lighter load of #4 Buck. Unless the lighter load reduces the power, they should work.
And I also like the new birdshead grip. But I don't like the price.
