I have building a Mossberg 590a1 18.5" with ghost ring sights for close to a month now. This is the first shotgun I have ever owned, and honestly the first time firing a shotgun. I own a Glock 19 gen 4 and have put range time in with it.
I live out on a plot of land that is perfect for shooting with big dirt mounds to set targets. I got the final components of my build in today (Well final one is the shotgun sheath coming tomorrow.) The actual gun is done (for now haha.) I kept everything stock except for:
Inforce WMLx gen 2 800 lumens light.
Esstac 7 shell magazine card.
Choate 4.25 extension. (I did not use the receiver, but I did use the springs from Choate.)
So my impressions. I now see why this forum was made. That was the most fun I had shooting a gun! I put A gallon jug of water and I had some cardboard targets I made. I was using some 00 buck to get practice for home defense. My first shot hit the gallon jug of water from 15 ft away and it just exploded. I really like the ghost ring sights. I felt like I could acquire the target very fast in transition. I was hitting everything, even further back, dead on. My friend who was a US Ranger and worked in a jail for some time told me over the phone how to form the pocket when shooting and correct posture.
I really want to thank another forum member who talked me through this entire build. 95jza80tt, Thank you so much for taking the time to answer every question I had, and helping me through every step of this build. I appreciate it! Okay time for some pics.
The last picture was me helping my friend shoot her 9mm for the first time. I had to get used to the trigger pull but when I did I was hitting center.
Thank you everyone in the forum for the advice and help. This is a great community!
