Taurus PT111 – 3rd Range Report: I went to a nearby indoor shooting range in La Vista, NE, called The Bullet Hole. Fired 12 mags (144 rounds) of WWB. No problems of any kind.
Also, I ordered a Mossberg 500 20 Gauge Field/Deer Combo from R&R Arms for $262.86 plus $16.68 shipping for a total of $279.54. Thanks to federal firearms law, I had to have it shipped to a federally licensed firearms dealer. I chose The Bullet Hole. They’re charging what seems to be the standard $20 fee for that service. So all in all I’m saving about $60 plus tax off of the retail price, about $30 plus tax off of the sale price at Dick’s Sporting Goods.
The combo includes an all purpose 26″ vent ribbed field barrel that can accept different chokes. Three are included: improved cylinder, modified, and full. A gun lock and, I believe, a choke wrench are also included. The other barrel is a ported, fully rifled 24″ barrel with rifle sights, for shooting slugs. This week I plan to order an x-full turkey choke and an 18.5″ security barrel straight from Mossberg. That’ll cost me an extra $87 plus shipping [Update/Correction: $88.18 total]. All bases covered for about $400 [$388.04]. Not bad, eh?
