Thanks Guys for your comments. I'm new to this Web game, so please forgive me if I'm not following protocal by responding to the correct message in order.
I think I was swayed by the guy who sold me the M-2 tactical. He said it was excellent for home defense, but he might shoot turkeys with it. He said it was foolish to buy this gun thinking I could buy another barrel to shoot anything else
My primary idea was home defense. But the more I practice with it, I think it is going to go to waste sitting in my closet waiting for the hopefully never-to-happen event that someone breaks into our house in the middle of the night.
After your comments, I will try shooting clays in the tactical configuration first, since that is the easiest thing to do. I thought it might work, but I was afraid that all of that ghost ring hardware might get in the way.
If that does not work, then buying a second barrel and sometimes removing the rear sight when I shoot clays sounds like a reasonable alternative.
I'm just glad that I am not alone in thinkng that this is such a wonderful gun to restrict to a single use.
Thanks again.
