The editor of Firearms News is a huge retro guy. Got his first AR-15 in 1979 and his first job in the gun industry was building AR-15s from kits when he was a teenager in the early 80s. I heard that he was looking to do a Retro 3-Gun event in Ohio next year.

The Ohio Attorney General has stated that there will be no prosecutions regarding these "shotguns" and they are also made here by Ithaca and sold at most shops. The attorney General just won governor and will sign the legislation after it goes through one more time - already passed but liberal Kasich won't sign it. Ohio has all Republican majorities now and has one of the strongest state gun rights organizations in the country. At one time, Ohio was only second to Texas in machine gun ownership. I don't really see much in the way of a Retro completion with shockwave type shotguns.

I have several excellent small arms of the 70s - 90s.
I'll even travel to Miami to shoot in a match.

I would of course bring a SPAS-12, MP5, AUG A2, and a West German P226

Will there be a mandatory shoulder holster stage? There should be, and we'll need simulated dump truck doors.

I just watched an episode of Simon & Simon last night where they have to rescue their friend by a place with a lot of armed security.  Rick had an AR-180 with a 30-round mag and AJ a police-style shotgun, an 870, I think, with revolvers for sidearms.  Another episode I saw a few days ago had them getting in a shootout with Rick having a belt full of magazines for his 1911.

VLTOR saw the signs.... the Gun Buying Public are fucking idiots that say they'd buy shit and never go through with it. I see it all the time. "I'd buy a Enbloc feed Mini-14" or "If S&W came out with a .460 Rowland M&P Shield with a 6" barrel that'd he my EDC."

Lucky for VLTOR, they saw the market truths and said fuck that. We aren't dumping money into shit that won't sell.

For those of us with either Shockwaves or Tac14s.... this is how the US Marshals used to run their "witness protection" shotguns

Attachment Attached File


The key to this system was the design of the sling. The designers utilized an M1 Carbine sling with a quick-release snap that was mounted to the hand stop. The shotgun could be slung under a jacket in an upside-down configuration. To present the shotgun, the user would grasp the forend with his or her support hand, reach across their body and unsnap the sling. This freed the shotgun, and the support hand pulled the gun from under the jacket for a reasonably efficient presentation.

That doesn't sound "reasonably efficient" at all. Did USMS carry the gun slung on their support side? I'm trying to picture that release sequence in my mind, but the rear Uncle Mike sling swivel is difficult to remove, because the release must be pushed, rotated, and then the stud slid free of the peg. That's a fairly slow operation in this setting.

If they're releasing the front, it looks like the snap button could easily snag the slot in the front swivel and get stuck, or the rest of the sling could get stuck on clothing as they drag that out with the weapon.

Is there a video or better description of the deployment somewhere?

As a teenager, I rigged a sling like that for a similar 870 AOW and underarm carried it concealed under my strong arm, but I just reached across with my support hand and released a Fastex buckle, which seems way faster than the above description.

Anyway, I quickly learned that carrying/deploying an MP5K from the Eagle shoulder harnesses was a much better solution.

It sucked having that heavy 870 flop around under a coat, and there was nothing on my support side to counterbalance the weight.

The MP5K with 2x 30rd mags as counterweights only got weird if I ran, but I could deal with it. Still ended up going back to a P226 pistol though.

It took a bit of visualising to see how they ran it, but I think I've got it.  The idea is wearing it on your weak side, muzzle down. Your support hand reaches straight up, grasping the fore end while tour strong hand reaches across, unsnapping the front stud and allowing the end of the sling to pull thru the front swivel.  I'm not sure how smooth the inside of the front sling "slot" was on the original witness protection guns, but my Shockwave is going to have a smooth "Uncle Mikes" swivel up there... so the sling should pull thru smoothly.  I should have all my 'pieces-parts" by the weekend to try the concept out.

Are there better slings today?  Sure!  But we're doing 80s here... remember?

Hell, I spoke with a couple of gun rights organizations to see if they want to help sponsor the match. They are interested since it is open to NFA items and the like since some of the other shooting sports are more restrictive.

The goal is fun for all and not making it gun golf where only pros compete as a sponsored team shooter.
