    So likely grouping just slightly worse than it would if left as a shottie?

    Is your mate a giant or is that thing really small?
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    New Member here - so G'Day All . There's a guy in Wellington who advertises Chamber adapters for 12 gauge to .357 /38" etc. on TRADEME. - I bought one and no complaints as nicely made - something like a 'snapcap'.

    Welcome Martyk.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Brother put a #3 2/3" 36gram load through it today and didn't blow up. Can call it a success. Looked at some reloading data and saw it is very easy to make 9mm subsonic so at a later date I'll be reloading 9mm

    Is the sub idea to make it a quiet-ish up close pig/possum despatcher?

    I got one of these inserts and tested it today through an old legal sawnoff breakopen 12G - it was probably fairly loud but wearing muffs I've no idea.
    No aiming system just point it at things that I'd like to put a hole into and a 44 leaves a pretty big hole

    As Toby says, it's good for shits and giggles, quieter than a shotgun shell out of the same gun and the only real surprise overall was that the recoil was guesstimated at about half that of a shotgun shell.
    I expected much more of a kick

    Range is pretty much point blank but a bit of fun for forty bucks so no complaints here

    Righto guys, after shooting a few targets and then forgetting to bring the insert bit for the last look for a goat I remembered this time and have got 2 kills with her. Little one shot at 5m big one about 15m



    This is the entry and exit of the little one



    Little one was the photo of the wounds. It took about 2 steps and fall over the other one was shot under the jaw in the neck and dropped like a sack of shit
