The BATFE ruling that firearms that are more than 26 inches in length, but are not manufactured to be fired from the shoulder, are neither pistols or shotguns or rifles, but merely “firearms” has resulted in a new type of defensive firearm.
The Remington Tac 14 is now available and has suggested retail price of $443.05. Store prices will likely be in the $400 range.
These type of firearms have been produced by small manufacturers for years. Two years ago, I predicted that the major manufacturers would come on board, if the small manufacturers proved popular.
At that time, I had not considered a Donald Trump Presidency. From the article two years ago:
The usual sequence is that when small manufacturers find a profitable market, large manufactures start production of their own models to take advantage of it. I will be watching to see if Mossberg or other large firms start offering pistol grip 12 gauge firearms of similar configurations.It is an interesting time, and I believe the end result will be reform of federal gun laws, to something far more rational and less burdensome than now exists.
The Trump Presidency has created a more firearms friendly legal environment. Both Mossberg and Remington have come out with this type of legal firearm. These firearm models make a mockery of the entire silly NFA regulatory scheme. From the previous article:
These short guns firing shotgun shells have obvious self defense applications. There is no reason why these guns should be treated any different than ordinary pistols. Functionally, they are either large pistols or small shotguns. Both shotguns and pistols are constitutionally protected by the Heller and McDonald decisions. There is no valid reason for treating these firearms any differently than other shotguns or pistols.

You’re holding it wrong.
What about porting the barrel?
I don’t think that would help felt recoil. Muzzle flip probably, but for the recoil a muzzle break. Would be worse I think then going as is.
Henry calls it a Mares Leg...iirc.
Rossi makes those. Classified as a pistol.

This is it.
So what is the name/model/nomenclature of the cut down 590?
Thanks. I will check it out.
