Good work, Al. Remington says the 11-87 Police is supposed to work only with heavier loads, I bet the thing will work better (if not 100%) after a few hundred rounds through it.

A coupla things...

3" slugs do little the shorter ones won't, except for running through your ammo budget fast. Most shotguns are more accurate with the shorter slugs.

Also, for bench work, a wearable recoil pad like the PAST job makes the kick much easier on the anatomy.

And clay games of any kind will aid your handling and familiarization, as well as turning intom the kind of shotgunner who can hit a 4" disc moving at 35-30 MPH most of the time. If you can do that, centerpunching a perp with a load at HD ranges is a given.

HTH, and I like your comment on Md's %^&*() gun laws....
