Guys and gals...I must say if you're needing a basic no frills shotgun the Stevens 320 has to be the best sleeper on the market. I picked up two today at the local pawn shop...my wife has been wanting to shoot more shotgun but I've always been a 12ga guy and never had anything else. The last time we went to the range it just beat her up to bad...so I was prowling pawn shops today and picked up two of these. One in 20ga for her and the 12ga they had was just to cheap to leave laying there. Took her to the range this evening battling the humidity and mosquitos and she burned through 2 boxes of 25 rounds #7.5 birdshot loads. On the last trip she couldn't manage but about 12 rounds of the 12ga. Of course I put a couple boxes through the new to me 12ga also and they both run like a champ. It's a no frills shotgun, and absolutely no aftermarket support for anything basically, but for a good solid out of the box shotgun I don't know if they can be beat for the money. They are like the old Winchester 1300 "speed pumps" in that if you're pulling back on the forend and pull the trigger the action starts sliding open almost automatically.

I really applaud your decision to get into USPSA; I think competition is the #1 way to improve. However, if you are concerned about holster work, I think you need a training course first. Holstering a loaded gun is the #1 most likely way to have a ND that causes injury. That is something you need to feel 100% capable and comfortable with beforehand. Besides the 320, which is a serious safety concern and should be discarded in my opinion, holstering is the same process regardless of make. Finish shooting, finger off the trigger, indexed on frame, activate safeties/decockers, slowly and deliberately holster.

90s cops negligently pulling the trigger on their 5 pound 1/2” trigger travel Glocks after transitioning from long-travel 14 pound DA revolvers that helped hide lousy gun handling habits is not the same as 320s going bang without the trigger being pulled. Not sure this is accurate - I don’t think WGP moved the trigger far enough to disengage the striker safety. Even if he did, what happened to the 320’s “double internal safety system?”

I worked at a REALLY cool IT shop about 12 yrs ago that was run by mostly vets. That being said, bringing "toys" to work to show off was not only welcome, it was encouraged. Seeing who could build an AR the cheapest was a fun game. One guy brought me a box of parts to assemble that literally cost him $279. It ran like crap no matter what I did to it, LOL. Another guy wanted to see how prissy an AR could be and brought me about $1300 worth of parts to assemble. In his defense it ran like a top and never had any problems, but jeez that's a lot of bucks for a DIY AR. Despite that one being so smooth, most of the $500 rifles ran just fine too. An adjustable gas block and a CHF barrel were the 2 parts that I feel affected performance and accuracy the most. A good trigger helps too, but discipline and some polishing can mostly overcome that. A crappy barrel or poor cycling, not so much.

Wonder what this photo was for

I have three Daniel Defense AR's. 16" lightweight model, Mk18 and PDW in 300 blackout. All three are shot suppressed. I did have an issue with the 300 blackout caused by my laziness in cleaning, so it was very dirty. The issue was found by Daniel defense to be the trigger I installed, a cassette type unit that was very gunked up. I changed to a geissele and no further problems, but the warranty situation was some of the best customer service I have ever had. They were responsive and called me several times during the process letting me know what was going on. I even suggested that I should pay for the service since it was my fault and they said absolutely not. I'm happy with the Daniel Defense warranty department and their customer service, my other two have run flawlessly, although I do clean them a bit more often now. Another thing to keep in mind on higher tier guns is they have always seemed to retain more value in the long run, which is important to me, as I have a tendency to impulse purchase shiny objects and then end up with more than I can use or store.

There is finally something a person should stop carrying faster than USCCA insurance.
