Buckshot overkill? Picture added.

[glock22fs]

just something to consider... having all that ammo on your sling can screw up your presentation to the target and once you get on target it will tend to swing potentially pulling you off target.

I think the ammo holding slings are a gimmic if used on a fighting gun. try shooting with it incorporating rapid presentations to targets and see if it still seems like a good idea.

The OP just asked something simple, no need to jump down his throat and make judgements on someone that we do not know. Others have posted about heat shields and other accessories without having personal comments being made about them. So what if he wants to add tactical stuff to his shotgun, unless people here are fronting the bill I dont see anything wrong with it.

Only 35 rounds? No problem. That's what pockets are for.

[ROCKETW19]

Wow I guess I better not tell anyone I almost bought the Eotech Zombi edition red dot for my M4 shotgun.

35 rounds on a sling I agree is not a good idea for HD but if you like the way it looks I say keep it for range fun. I buy most my guns for the way they look and add stuff i think is cool. My HD gun is just a plain jane HK usp9mm but the rest of my guns all have something on them I am sure you guys would make fun of. well maybe here on the net but not in person.

Have fun with your stuff 99.9% of us will never need any gun to defend our lives at home.

From someone who carried a shotgun every working day for 32+ years, what you have described is not just overkill, it is ludicrous. Keep the chamber empty, magazine tube full, a side saddle or similar device holding another five rounds will be sufficient.

I survived a firefight against multiple suspects wielding an AK-47, a 9mm pistol, and a .45 ACP pistol with an Ithaca pump and five rounds of buckshot. They were all trying to kill me and my partner, and fired first.

Training is more important than any gadget you can put on your gun. The rig you describe is restricted to mall ninjas, sorry.

[Travis590A1]

Ok what does that story have to do with a sling? Most marines and rangers I know that have done multiple tours in iraq (including my brother and two cousins) don't even like to descuss anything they have seen and done and you talk about it like your chuck norris.

Are you kidding me!!?? Ron-Solo is giving you sound advice on setting up your HD gun and a real-life story to back it up as an example and now you're calling him "Chuck Norris?" This is a guy who's walked the walk and is telling you how he made it through a life-threatening incident with only 5rds but I guess you don't see his point. I guess the only part you really paid attention to is where he called you out as a mall ninja. Like I said before..it's your gun..set it up as you please. Just remember before you reply again to the thread you started..
"Better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt"

To quote Jules (Samuel Jackson) in Pulp Fiction..
"If my answers frighten you then cease to ask frightening questions"

Just remember..you asked and we answered.
My work here is done......

Random question...do you "bang high profile chicks?"

You plan on being in a sustained firefight? What you have in the tube should be sufficient for HD.

THIS... or move to a state where 30 round AR mags are legal.

Wow! I agree this thread "went downhill fast" but not on travis's part. He was asking a simple question, how much is too much-more or less.
Insulting him, joking or not, should be checked at the door.
To the class instructor. I dont doubt you see guys all the time with all the bells and whistles on their rigs. I am sure that most of that stuff gets dropped before the class starts and I am sure you are a resected guy in your line of work. You sound like a professional so perhaps you should act like one.
If you want to help a guy out answer his question. Perhaps give and example or two without the sarcasm. If you want to belittle him do it face to face so he can have the option to set things straight.
Remember guys everyone of us was a noob at one time or another. Most of us wanted to learn from others and some of us even asked rediculous questions.

Travis, I agree with the excess ammo. Keep in mind that if you ever do get into an altercation even inside your home LEO's will most likely confiscate your rig until the investigation clears you.
And how many talk of the zombie apocolyps on this board? We all know that there are no zombies. We keeps guns because it is our right. We keep them because we feel a need. A need that history supports. We also feel a need to lighten the gloom of ever having to use them.
Lighten ups guys. Its not about thin skin.

Point taken and perhaps I allowed my passion to get the best of me. I had given appropriate suggestions without sarcasm in an earlier post and noted a continued adolescent attitude. Travis590 was dealt with as an adult (by me and some others) until his responses ignored reason. I would and have said the exact same thing to a student that put the CSF (cool stuff factor) and CDI (chick dig it) factors above function. That said, I will endeavor to keep it professional.

Ron-solo, Great post and thanks for your real world experience.

I've known plenty of soldiers with real world experience, so I got that area covered.

[CSACANNONEER]

Uh I'm 25 thank you very much.

Once your maturity catches up to your young age, you'll be ready to own or, at least, handle a firearm.

Wow you guys just like to insult don't you? I bought the accessories on a whim and no its not a bbq gun its my second line of defense as far as guns go.

Again, lack of knowledge puts a SG as a secondary line of defense. It really should be your first. BTW, I've never heard of a SxS that was used in a SD situation that wasn't able to do the trick with TWO rounds PERIOD.

Ok guys first off I'm not a child and these accessories are for a hd gun ..... its just funny how some of you joke calling me kid and refering to me as a youngster yet I'm being picked on by high schoolers lol.

Uh, you are a child when it comes to maturity and you are definately a "youngster". Oh, those accessories are there for the manufacturers to make money. Most of them are actually going to be in the way should you ever need to use them. But, hell, don't listen to people with real world experience. Keep listening to the Rambos you know so well. Yea, a couple tours of combat does not make anyone a home defense expert. Combat is a lot diferent than self defense. Someday, you'll grow up and learn this.

Ok what does that story have to do with a sling? Most marines and rangers I know that have done multiple tours in iraq (including my brother and two cousins) don't even like to descuss anything they have seen and done and you talk about it like your chuck norris.

Wow you guys just like to insult don't you?

So, when someone with real more years of world experience than you've been on this planet comes along and trys to give you real world advise, you sling insults and call him names. You're obviously not as mature or inteligent as you think you are.

I've known plenty of soldiers with real world experience, so I got that area covered.

Who cares? Most of us older folk know more soldiers with more years of combat in more wars than you could dream of knowing. But, what does that have to do with a self defense firearm? Every combat veteran I know used their firearms for offensive strikes as well as defensive strikes and had to carry their weapons and ammo a lot further than from a closet to their front door.

I would suggest listening to the wisdom which comes with age instead of thinking you know it all just because your gardner's father's sister dated someone who told her that he was in the special forces.
