I used to own a New England firearms single shot 3.5” magnum 10ga.

I have read that there may be some fuckery to go through to get more than 6 rounds in the full length tubes?
I havent had any issues with loading 7 rounds.
Factory stock tube spring? Didn't have to cut any coils off?
No, didnt cut the spring.
Ive heard guys mention doing this but the spring that came with the OEM tube has worked fine. With 2 3/4 inch shells.
I have heard that some 2 3/4 inch shells are a bit longer than others.
I usually use Federal 00 buckshot, #4 buckshot or slugs. They all load 7 just fine.

My first choice is easy. CZ Tactical orange. If anyone carried the 10 rounder in 9mm I'd have one already.
Next one is perpetually unavailable. Saw one at a gun show when i didn't have my permit yet. Haven't seen one in stock since. CZ 75 P01 omega
Gotta get me a VP9 Long slide for competition. I like my PPQ 5" but nothing feels as good as the VP9
Sig P320 x compact. Has the X grip module but it's smaller than the X5 and X carry. Feels great, points very well.
Last is one of three 22lr guns i want to get. Gotta be the all steel Black Label version.

$40 and change is pretty standard for any pistol mag that isn't for Glocks. My PPQ mags were $45. Great mags though, Mec-Gars I belive.
Also, only reason I want the TSO in .40 is the extra points for limited.
Fire 4 effect makes a stupid sick TSO limited (granted it would be limited 10 for us)

Right but compared to STI 2011 mags at $100-$140 a pop
I do believe all CZ mags are mec-gar, but CZ owns the rights and so mec cant just sell them cheaper under their name like they do with others

You're right. I've seen that Grabagun has the 20 round gun, but I'd have to give up the magazines and buy 10 rounders. I have a hard time doing that with such an expensive gun. Plus I'm tired of doing that because of monkeyface.

.577 Tyrannosaur.
Edward, I bought that exact gun last year. It is a well balanced, well made and accurate gun. Unintended consequence, caused me to become a much better pistol shot.
For me it would be the S&W .32, 4" barreled 'Kit Gun'. From the old days of course, when they were pretty fine tuned right out of the box.

Oh I know, I keep looking at the Fire 4 Effect TSO that they have completely worked over specifically for limited division but then think damn $2,400 to shoot limited 10 kinda sucks
I had an M4 with 7 round tube. No issues. It is actually 7+1+1 if you ghost load one on the carrier plate. Awesome gun only sold due to financial situation. On top of my list to replace as is Beretta Silver Pigeon O/U. Two guns I really regret selling. Would also like to get a Cooper of Montana in 22 Hornet when funds allow.

12-gauge slug (smooth bore)
What I like about the TSO over say a Shadow 2 is the orange has the amazing SAO trigger, and more importantly the TSO is built on the same frame as the as Czechmate and the slide is hand fit to that frame

I have three.
1) A .50 Desert Eagle. Came moderately close to getting one in January (there is an NY legal one now) but I knew I'd pretty much never use it. Just want it for the hell of it because it's ridiculous. Still want it.
2) Big ass scoped revolver for hunting like the Lord Humongous. Probably .44 mag as the .50 mag looks like a wrist fracture machine.
3) Beautiful, shiny showcase piece 1911. Just because they are old school and in my limited experience shoot very nicely.

The length of pull on the orange (in addition to and as a result of the SAO trigger) is why I'd love that gun. The shadow 2 feels great, the orange must be even better.

Glock 21 that will become a customized dream gun. I’ve been looking for a used gen 3 or 4 if anyone’s got one they’re willing to part with.

I like those black label .22’s as well, but at $650 or so just not worth it to me. I found the cheaper version at a gun show dirt cheap, but the sights sucked and I wasn't sure if I could find better sights for it. I passed on it.

For me it would be a few I guess- sorry no pics.
CZ PSR. Similar to the P01 Omega @Justincase posted, without the rail. Also seems to never be available.
Benelli M4.
A nice over/under in 20 gauge.
AR in .308 or something also semi in 308. I had a BAR, I didnt care for it so gave it to my FiL.
And a 1st Gen P239 or P229 in 9mm WITHOUT the friggin DAK trigger.

They are a bit spendy, but the all steel ones are pretty solid. I'd likely get the Taurus TX22 before that, but again none can be had with 10 round mags.

RIA makes a 1911 in 22 magnum. That is pretty much the only production gun on my list to buy. There are people selling the conversion kit for it so I just may buy that and make my own. If I can find a Para Ord 15-40 I may buy it depending on the condition and the sellers price.
