Koyote Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It finally got warm enough and a bright sun shiny day to go out shooting. I took my Benelli M2 Tactical as I wanted to try out my new Tartan Carrier. The original carrier had a slight bend to it and when loading shells it pinched my thumb. The Tartan Carrier is flat and I had no problems. It was great to try out my shotgun again. I brought a box (25 shells) of bird shot. I loaded up 5 rds. at a time. The weather was still cold and I had a little difficulty in loading, but managed to do it. I fired across a stream to the embankment on the other side. The shotgun performed flawlessly and each time I loaded a shell, it was a lot easier with the new carrier than with the OEM carrier. So I recommend a flat Tartan Carrier. The one thing I forgot was, I have been carrying three large pumpkins in my truck bed and I forgot all about them. I so wanted to shoot them. Have you ever been on a pumpkin shoot? Oh, well. Good excuse to go out again. Now if the weather here in Sparks, NV would just cooperate! ...and yes, I picked up my spent shells and a few others that were there to keep the area clean. GOOD SHOOTIN' to you all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraBG Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Great to hear that you picked up the spent shells.? Not trying to be a smart ass, but there are many who don't and that leaves a bad impression reflecting on the rest of us. I have a M1 and M4 I'll have to look at the Tartan carrier. And pumpkins explode nicely in almost any weather as long as they're not frozen.? Enjoy them next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Cut a hole in the pumpkin and fill the inside with liquid. They explode much better. More like a watermelon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 CORRECTION: I got the description of the OEM and Tartan Carrier reversed. The OEM is flat with a cutout/notch on the tip. The Tartan Carrier has a slight bend in it on the tip and there is not a cutout/notch on the tip. So, it did not pinch my thumb. Sorry about that.

For clarification I assume you meant the "Taran" Tactical carrier? Never heard of Tartan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NineInchNails Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just because Taran Tactical was mentioned, I had to post this video from their YouTube channel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koyote Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Sorry, I goofed again. It is Taran and not Tartan. I think I might have said Tartan because of all the Scotch in me. <hic> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
