There ain't no such thing as having too much fun!You're probably correct, but I enjoy the excuse to go out and try a whole bunch of different buckshot. It's so much fun!

I like that big dot. I am considering a big brass bead. I wonder how easy it is to remove when the time comes to replace the tritium...
Good point about the gg&g rail mount. I forgot all about those. Way better of an option if you wanted a light. I actually have one of their sling loop plates but it didn't work for me because it acted as a stricture for shells to get hung up on in my magazine tube when fully loaded. Since you just have the magazine tube cap you wouldn't have that problem. If any of you want my sling loop plate lmk. I can drop it in an envelope and send it out. It does me no good just sitting in my box of gun parts.Looking at mine, it doesn't look promising. I don't have a lot of room between the forend and the barrel lug. I thing a TLR-1 on a GG&G rail mount is about as good as we are going to get. I feel like the beauty of this design is keeping it as compact and simple as possible. Quick adjustable loop sling is all I am installing on mine. I removed the forend loop because I found it slowed down how fast I grabbed the gun and if I didn't get in the loop I had a mass of slick webbing reducing my purchase on the forend.
It created a ledge where my tube extension and the plate met the barrel lug so the last two rounds in the mag tube would get hung up as the brass on the rd would catch on the ledge. If I just used a mag cap like on your shockwave there wouldn't be enough room for a shell to get caught on the ledge. It was just the single sling loop. I had planned to use magpul or hk style clips on my sling originally.So if I understand you correctly, the sling plate puts a gap in the tube and this causes notch that the rims hang on? Try some felt or rubber? It might take some fiddling err "tuning". Did yours have a rail or just sling loops?
I reckon the Talon would be more grippy, but they sure are ugly.
I recently added the rubberized version of the new Talon Shockwave grip to mine. I really like it, especially outdoors on hot, humid days. Installation was easy and a great fit too. Adds both an additional "tacky" feel/grip and some cushioning too. I'll try and add some photos of the installed, ruberized version tomorrow.
Here are companies I have contacted trying to encourage aftermarket grips: Hogue, ATI, Extreme and Esmeralda. I also wrote to Mossberg asking for a low profile ball cap with Shockwave on the front and Mossberg on the back strap. I also contacted Voodoo requesting a scabbard that will fit the Shockwave. Reckon you can tell I have too much time on my hands.
