About that dual brake shotgun

Linked the pic yesterday. It’s a design by Dreadnaught Industries who do custom Saiga guns.

Alex the owner writes:

That is a pure competition gun, designed and built for the “action shooting” games like International Multi-Gun or USPSA 3-Gun. The mid-barrel compensators cover a series of small ports that introduce gas into a larger chamber with either angled vents or internal baffles in order to reduce muzzle movement. Testing at Dreadnaught led us to believe that the combination of angled ports and a mid-barrel compensator reduced perceived recoil by about half. Jim, a great guy and talented gunsmith over at Firebird Precision, builds a heavily raked single chamber design (usually employed in pairs) that also works well and looks rather sporty!

Indeed, it does look sporty.

    The text at the page is pretty funny…

    While we prefer modern guns, we do like antiques! This Remington 1100…

    The Kalashnikov action predates the 1100 by sixteen years… :p

    That looks sporty? It looks like it needs a tripod.

    Sorry for the wrong impression, that is not one of my guns…I understand the concept and built similar shotguns, but mine are a little less…snout heavy. They run about 7.5 pounds, empty, complete with red dot, and shoot quite flat with a 1 1/8 oz 3 1/4 dram load:

    The Queen of Snark commenting on my (admittedly inaccurate, although it does (as intended) tend to annoy the too-serious gear conscious folks lurking among the three-gun shooters) snark…I’m giddy 🙂
