It took me a while to find the specs, so I added them here. When checking out this new handgun from Remington, I couldn't help but yawn and feel underwhelmed with yet another plastic fantastic....

Take your checkbook and some serious fiscal self discipline!

I had a chance to stop at Brownells new retail store (connected to their new HQ & warehouse). It's a great retail store with a ton of new and used guns on display. They have retail kiosks that you can place an order for anything on their website and someone will pick it and bring it to you in about 15 minutes.
Put my hands on a JP Enterprises SCR-11 - now I know I need one!

Any idea what product(s) Ruger is needing production capacity for?

I've now shot about ten rounds of trap with the V3. It's certainly not a trap gun like my BT99, but it's not supposed to be. The V3 has worked perfectly without a single problem. The recoil is so soft compared to my 870 that shooting the V3 is like shooting a .410. The gas system works perfectly, it ejects all of my reloads from 1 1/8oz fast games loads to my 11/16 oz low recoil practice loads (both 2 3/4"). It throws the 11/16oz hulls about 15' so the system is not suffering from low pressure. This gas system is so simple, that it's genius. There are no o-rings, no seals, just the ports and pistons - I can't imagine what could go wrong with it.

Since Aimpoint is late to the game, I would think they would need to come out with some whiz-bang features to enter this market and compete. I wonder what innovative ideas they might introduce on this product?
-
That's too bad - sounds like it was a great scope. Having eye problems, I would probably benefit from a scope like this.

I didn't know Birchwood Casey made these. It looks just like the brand that's been around for years (whose name I forget). Did Birchwood Casey buy them out?
Not sure if there was a buyout.

I tried this Birchwood Casey shell catcher on my Remington V3, thinking it may be a temporary solution until I'm able to get one of these when he makes them for the V3. The V3 ejects the hulls with so much velocity, that the Birchwood Casey didn't come close to stopping them. The hulls still were ejected about 15' from my position. I tried bending the catcher so that it would be more aggressive, but it didn't matter. I'm going to try a rubber band next.

I think we should all meet there and see who needs the defibrillator first!
That's an interesting question if there will be a chain of retail stores... My guess would be... eventually.

Barry,
I'd like to hear about innovation in general. I'm amazed at human innovation and like those "I should have thought of that" moments when I learn of something new.
Thanks for reporting on this for us.

I'm hoping this Shell Catcher will work on the V3.
I just spoke with Mike, who makes this shell catcher for the VeraMax and it won't work for the V3. He is making a V3 specific shell catcher, which I will purchase as soon as possible.

I'm hoping this Shell Catcher will work on the V3.
It should work with the 1oz steel loads we shoot at the Naperville trap range. I do load 11/16oz light loads that I doubt will cycle the bolt, but I wouldn't expect them to. I've never had a gun that points exactly where I want it to at all times, seems they all miss a target from time to time!
-
I decided to pull the trigger on a Remington V3 28" black synthetic stock. I've wanted a auto to shoot trap with and think this may be a good choice for an all around versatile shotgun. I hope an 870 or 1100 stock will fit the V3, but Google didn't seem to be able to find much.

Very very expensive....

Brownells has a retail store in Grinnell, Iowa just off interstate 80. I drove past the store/warehouse a month ago before it opened and it looks like an interesting place to see, will stop the next time I get a chance.

Looks nice.
I'm kinda surprised it was allowed to be built or open up.
In a way I am too. There is a Bass Pro directly across the tollway from the range. That Bass Pro was denied a permit for a gun range, by the city of Bolingbrook, when it was built years ago. They got the permit and built a beautiful range!

I fired this pistol with 22 Mag rounds. The pistol is junk as the cylinder had to be rotated by hand and wouldn't index properly so you had to position it in the right spot for the pin to hit the rim. The recoil was sharp and I wouldn't want to shoot it much or often. It was pretty hard to hold on to and can't imagine using it as even a gut gun. I shall never own one.
-
I have a total of about 1000 rounds fired now with the Apex trigger. It's so good that I would put it up against a decent 1911 trigger. Would be very hard to put the factory trigger back into the M&P and shoot at a match where they checked for illegal mods.
-
I got to hold a Ruger American Pistol in 9mm a few days ago, but didn't get to shoot it. I was impressed with the ergonomics, design, ruggedness, and quality. The trigger was also so good that it's hard to believe this is a Ruger design. Maybe I'll have to buy one?!

We have a new range in Chicagoland (Bolingbrook) called The Range at 355
16 lanes of brand spanking newness! Widest indoor lanes I've ever seen and air flow so good that you'll never smell the smoke from your gun. I joined with the weekday pass and have been there many times. About a 10 minute drive from my house. Couldn't be better.
-
I've fired it several hundred times now and it's been perfect. Not a single issue with feeding and is accurate. I'm going to enjoy shooting it!
-
What is the BC of that bullet? Looks like it would be pretty high....
-
I've never owned one, but would like to someday. They shoot nice, but I'd hate to carry one with me 24hrs/day. Although when my dad turned his M14 in for a M16, while in Vietnam, he said that so many times he wished he was carrying the M14 again.
