I use the sights all the time with my shotgun but then again, I’m not using it like you do. I’m not shooting trap or skeet. I’m shooting targets in an IDPA manner with a ghost ring.
The next competitor complained I was taking too long to shoot my Mossberg 500 pump. I averaged about 11 seconds for twelve targets.
He missed. I didn’t.
I have to admit, I wish I had an autoloader. I can’t imagine how fast I could be without pumping the next round.
That's all that matters. I once won a $20.00 bet against some steroid necked SWAT type. He said "Shotguns are obsolete. With my MP-5 I can beat any shotgunner."
I bet him I could put more holes in a target faster than he could. He could use his MP-5, and I'd use a civvy legal firearm of my choice.
He laughed and said "You're on, old man."
I pulled my Mossberg 500 out of the case, loaded up one round of 000 buck and fired.
"I win."
His buddies laughed their asses off and said "Pay the man. You've been schooled."
I bought myself and my shooting partner a nice breakfast with that 20.
