990 use- drill and update

Added 2025-05-08 20:40:45 +0000 UTC

This is a good drill to run at an indoor range. Keep it close (5yd) and use 1/4 printer paper targets to keep from destroying the backer. Getting full patterns on a 4x6” rectangle at 5 yds is more difficult than it looks when running at speed.

Gun update:

Monstrum tactical rail

Gideon Granite optic

Stream light Pro Tac.

I’d like to have a circle dot reticle, but this Gideon has great window size, ideal battery access, and nice crisp bright green dot.

The monstrum rail is better contoured to the gun than the usual UTG I use and is cheap. I’ll be using these from now on, assuming all holds up, which I can’t see being an issue with a simple piece of aluminum.

Streamlight protac is an ancient light that was given to me. I hate cables and pads, but this actually works well for the extremely far forward rail space on the gun. I am not at all worried about this light catching lots of blast. Disposable.

Gun is still running well after 200 shells of buckshot and optic makes this thing very intuitive to get precise hits at likely use distances.

Assuming it holds up, I’m satisfied with this gun and not very interested in continued shopping around.

Good ergos. Seemingly good guts. Easy to shoot and simple to maintain assuming parts are made available. I believe it is safe to assume that the 990 will replace the 940 and we will get good aftermarket and OEM stock of parts.
