  1. Hi pdw, Interesting info, and good luck with your quest. I have tried about 5-6 different systems for tactical entries. Since I am still in an active duty mode, and actually use these weapons for their designed purposes, I have seen a variety of systems in use, and have a good understanding of what will work and what will not. The system I currently am using, as shown in the photo above, is the one that worked out the very best for MY applications. Our dynamic entries are very quick, and there is very little time to re-hook, re-secure, or re-sling a weapon. If a weapon failure occurs, a transition to another weapon needs to happen instantly. If a door needs to be kicked in, or a shot or detained suspect needs to be cuffed, the weapon needs to be able to be IMMEDIATELY dropped to the side. These type of events happened to my team just two days ago during a SW service. In that scenario, my MOUT system on the M1 worked extremely well. A couple of team members use standard H&K slings on their MP-5's, and one uses a single point H&K style hook on his MP-5. And, as I have always preached, you MUST train with the system you are using. Not trying to sound like I know best, since everyone's individual situation might be different. Just FYI.... I seriously hope your effort to improve will pay off. All the current sling systems got to be here because someone had a good idea, and followed it up to production. Good luck again, and keep us posted please... JJ
  2. scottso, Here is a good source, and they have good prices from what I can see... www.e-gunparts.com/model.asp?idDept=348 Take care, JJ
  3. No Prob jjm, Once you get spoiled by high quality products it is very hard to accept less. The only problem I will have now is finding a company that makes just a small ring type receiver end plate for the hooks. Only ones out here now...for the M1's anyway, are 1 1/4" loop types... As to those SIG's....yeah they are the best. A 226R for the thigh holster for entries, and the 229R for all day carry in plain clothes. I carried Glocks for many, many years, and loved them, I even used to sell a ton of them when I had my FFL...Then I had a problem with my G22, which could have been a fatal problem on an entry, and when attempting to deal with the repair via GLOCK Inc., I got the big run around about EXACTLY what they were going to do to fix the gun. So, I sold three of my four Glocks...I HAVE to keep the G23, for sentimental reasons.... Oh jjm, I also had a few good one liners on the photos,which were great btw, such as ..."you did that pose with such a clear head," and "you look really squared away"......lol star...as to the availability on the H&K type hooks, Sax did not say when, but indicated they would be available "soon." You guys take care, JJ
  4. Hi jakjakman, Yes, that is a very good setup. Great stuff they make at Specter, huh... I just got an e-mail back from them and they ARE going to start making their stuff available with the H&K style hooks...Crap, I guess I'll have to spend more money now...

  5. Hi jakjak, On the department 14" Entry gun, I used the strap connector for the Specter MOUT sling. It is far easier to remove and does not create any source of 'stress' to the department for 'modifying' their gun. I'm pleased with the way it has worked out. On my own personal M1, I would rather use a H&K hook/ring style mount. I'm going to hit up Specter and see if they may take a look at that... It would be good seller, since their sling material is far superior to the Blue Line on my AR. I wish that GG&G (or someone) would make an H&K style ring receiver mount for the M1...the only ones I have found out there now are the 1 1/4" hoop styles. That way I could use one sling for either weapon (I could do so with the Specter system, and did have it on the AR that way, but I just like the H&K hook much better). Anyway, here's a shot of the set ups for the shotgun and AR. As to your question about a heavier weapon and the single point set-up, I haven't seen that to be an issue. Since most of our dynamic entries are over in just a few minutes at most, and we then dress down to street clothes to do our investigations, it is just not an issue. Take Care, JJ [ 05-21-2006, 12:44 PM: Message edited by: jjgi5150 ]
  6. Hi All, I have to agree with jakjakman, Specter products are really great pieces, and they have the best customer service around. The only reason I went with a Blue Line for my AR was the H&K hook, which I really like. I have recently gone to the MOUT SPS for the Benelli M1 Entry, and the Blue Line SPS for the AR, as the two/three point units tend to get caught up in other gear and on household items when house clearing. A few years ago, when I was involved in the marijuana eradications our department does, I would have loved to have had the MOUT style slings. Our local mountain underbrush is a giant tangled web, and branches catch on everything. I am totally sold on the single point slings now days...

  7. Hey AFPJ, I assume that your screen name might translate to "Air Force ParaJumper"...if so, way cool career calling... Anyway, both my duty and personal M1's have straight cylinder bores...as far as I can tell. Neither has any screw-in choke system. I have only patterned the duty Entry 14" so far, and that was with our issue duty load, the Ranger #4 buck 27 pellet load. With that load, at 15 yds...which is about the max we will use that weapon....it is able to keep most all the pellet load 'primarily' in the center mass of the standard B-27 targets we use. We do have Ranger 1oz. standard velocity slugs available, but if that became necessary, we would most likely transition to a rifle... My team does not use breeching rounds, they are only aurhorized for our SWAT team... I don't have much info about them...or their dedicated weapons.. I will be patterning my personal M1 soon, and I'll post up all those results if anyone is interested...I'm very curious to see if the p/a muzzle brake has any effect on the patterns...I was planning on testing all the test loads in both the Entry and my personal to see what differences may be present...Right now my personal M1 is loaded with #1 buck, Remington standard 16 pellet load...but that may change! Take care, JJ [ 05-07-2006, 11:33 PM: Message edited by: jjgi5150 ]
  8. Hi all, My favorite duty load used to be a Federal 2 3/4" magnum #1 buck....20 pellets of .30 cal..at close to 1350fps...it was a great manstopper...I don't think it is available now...at least I haven't found any anywhere. But currently, in my duty M1 14" entry Benelli, we are using Dept. issued Ranger #4 standard 27 pellet load. OK I guess, but not my first choice. In my personal M1, 14" (with the p/a muzzle brake), I am using Winchester or Remington #1 standard 16 pellet loads... We're still doing some patern testing for both my personal M1 and my son's new 18" 870 Express we just built... test results to follow... Take care, JJ
  9. Hi all, Well, while inspecting my new M1 Tactical with it's pistol grip, I just noticed something I'm really a bit shocked about....especially on a tactical weapon. I had never noticed this before with my duty assigned entry M1, which has the standard stock. My new M1, even with the large head safety button, absolutely requires that I reposition my right hand on the pistol grip in order to push the safety on. I find this quite disconcerting on such a weapon, as I don't like to reposition my grip, considering it's probable usage. I looked for similar posts through the search, and I'm sorry if I missed prior posts about this topic. This may be old hat to you long time M1 users, but I am just very shocked to find this on such a popular tactical weapon. I had planned on testing this weapon with the pistol grip stock, but I so dislike this new found requirement, I will be installing my standard stock later tonight. Probably best for me anyway, since that is the way my duty entry is configured and what I train with regularly... Am I way off base here??? I'm interested in your comments... Take care, JJ
  10. HI M1014, Yeah, but I'm not too sure I like it yet...at least with this short barrel....but I'll learn to...because when I retire and move to Arizona, I will cut the thing off, legally of course, and leave it as a 14"!!! I notice yours has writing on it, and mine does not. Maybe an earlier style?? I'm also a bit disappointed, as I don't think the larger diameter will allow me to add an extended mag tube?.?. Is yours a permanently attached type, or a screw in choke type fitting?? Oh well, some custom mods may be in order.... Take care, JJ
  11. Hi all, Just got this on Saturday. Haven't fired it yet to compare it to my duty 14" entry...will do so next week and submit a report. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v645/jjgi5150/Gun%20Stuff/IMG_0249.jpg Take Care, JJ [ 04-03-2006, 06:19 PM: Message edited by: jjgi5150 ]
  12. Hey Mesa Tactical!!!!!! You guys need to make a new single point sling attachment for the M1-Super 90!!! One that uses a round style attachment point about 3/8" in diameter and smooth-edged, for an H&K style hook single point sling, rather than those flat 1 1/4" loops! Something like this.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v645/jjgi5150/Gun%20Stuff/IMG_0247.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v645/jjgi5150/Gun%20Stuff/IMG_0246.jpg I know about 20 guys on my department alone that would buy one. Thanks, JJ [ 03-26-2006, 11:40 AM: Message edited by: jjgi5150 ]
  13. Hi FN, Yes, it is true that with BATF approval, a 14" barrel can be had...but here in CA, you still need the additional approval from the State of California Department of Justice, and those are just not given out very often, even to full-time a LEO. A SBS in CA, without a CA DOJ permit, is a 12020 (a) PC felony. I have never tried to get a permit from them, but those I know that have were not successful. Back when I had my FFL, I used to think the BATF was a pain in the butt, but in the mid-90's, out here at least, it was the CA DOJ that really took over as the biggest pain ever related to firearms. They are the reason I folded my FFL...just not worth all the trouble to me for a home operated side business. Anyway, thanks for the welcome...I'll report on the purchase as soon as I get it... Take care, JJ
  14. Hi everyone, Just found this site, and it looks pretty good. I am a new M1 Super 90 owner...almost...I'll get to pick it up on the 27th. I bought the last remaining Tactical at a dealer I frequent, and it was a good buy in my mind. I was also looking at the 11-87P, but since I am assigned an M1 14" Entry for my work, it makes good sense to me to stick with a platform I am used to and good with. Anyway, the Tactical I bought has a 14" entry barrel, but also the muzzle brake from a Practical? permanently attached, to keep it legal for PRC private ownership. Kind of nice, since I will be able to now compare the two side by side for any difference of operation. I doubt there will be any benefit with the brake, and I didn't buy it for that, I just wanted an M1 instead of the newer M2, and I could not find a new M1 Tactical with an 18" barrel where I have been shopping. I also found a new standard (non pistol grip) stock, so I can have both, as mine came with the pistol grip style. My work gun has the standard stock, and I think I like it better that the PG style. I think I got a good deal on the new stock, only $41.00 on an E-bay bidding. I'm glad to be here and hope I can contribute some info and experience... Thanks, and take care, JJ
