H&R/NEF Pardner Protector 12ga range report

[mr.72]

Welp, it was my first time to shoot a 12 gauge shotgun.

And it was a blast :) pardon the pun.

The gun makes a real big, loud "BLAM", shots a huge hole in whatever you were aiming at, and blows stuff to smithereens. What's not to like?

My .22LR may be a tack driver, but this thing is a wrecking ball.

I didn't clean the shotgun before taking it out to shoot, other than a very light treatment with CLP on the exterior and verifying there was nothing actually blocking the barrel. I think I shot about 15 rounds. It had no kind of failures and shot big old holes where ever I pointed it. The recoil was not nearly as bad as I expected it would be.

For $159, this thing is a real keeper.

Sounds like a good time there. I haven't shot off a 12 gauge since i was about 14. I'd love one for home defense just haven't gotten to it yet.

I finally get the chance to go shoot my NEF PP this coming weekend. I am looking forward to it! Hopefully it will be a great experience as well, it has been many many years since I fired a 12ga.
