    I bought my first shotgun today

    Just got back from my LGS. After reading a ton of threads on the 930 SPX within the last few hours I decided to get one. I checked everything out with a fine tooth comb and everything checked out so I picked it up. I really wanted and still want a Benelli M4, but for now the SPX will have to do. Later down the road I will most likely buy an M4 too. Now, what sling?? I like the slings that carry the shells.

      Congrats, I have one on order myself. There isn't a ton of parts but finding a sling should be the easiest

        Congrats on your purchase! You'll love it.
        Keep her clean! And if it's new, get the initial cleaning done before use!

          Yeah, it's new and the first thing I'm going to do when I bring it home is field strip it. Can't wait!

            As a hunter, I don't use one of those either - all shells are on or in my vest.

            I always keep the gun as simple and light as possible. For HD I have a small number of them on the stock, but that's it.

                  Nice congrats this will be my next addition.Id skip the sling with the shell carriers that would add too much weight.

                        You're gonna love that 930spx. A buddy of mine has one and it performs flawlessly with all ammo. It's very impressive. FYI It was absolutely filthy when he bought it. The gun was BNIB straight from the factory. Filthy! Unreal filthy! Did you get the pistol grip butt-stock or standard butt-stock? Congrats!

                          I don't really like the feel of the pistol grip. I shot my cousins and he has a pistol grip, but it didn't do anything for me. So, I got the monte carlo standard stock which feels great!

                          What ammo should I use for the break in period and how many shots is considered broken in? I've read that you should use heavy loads, but what brand? Also, what's the difference between slugs and 00 buck shot? What length shells should I get?

                            Is that a serous question?
