I stopped by his store on Saturday, after the Hoffner lecture & class. He has a very well stocked store.

So you made Hoffner's class! Good for you. I wish I hadn't had to work and could have met you.

Jim and his family--and his staff at the store--are good people. Yeah, I miss this Texas Radio Hall of Fame member on the airwaves, and I used to tune in regularly to the segment he and Hoffner used to do. I've nudged him to consider an Internet broadcast.

He's a good friend to the 2nd Amendment and CHL.

If any of you are in the neighborhood of 290 and Huffmeister this week, please stop by Jim Pruett's Guns and Ammo. Jim's birthday is Friday, January 25, and it will annoy the heck out of him if loads of people show up who know that.

Stockless pistol grips on a shotgun look cool in the movies, and you can carry it in smaller bag or case, but that's about the limit of the value.

If you hold a standard-stock shotgun in assault (or assault-fire) position with the stock tucked up under your strong-side arm and clamped between your upper arm and body, you present a profile that's no longer than a pistol-grip-only gun...and you have much better retention and aiming capability, even if you have to point-shoot. And if you have to take an aimed shot, holding that pistol-grip-only out in front of your face and pulling the trigger on a 12ga. round is not something I've ever tried...or would want to.

Gimme a shotgun and a pistol, not one tool that tries to be both.
