Shooting the TT-12 PRO

After installing the polymer iron sights that came with the gun, I decided to add a red dot as well. I don’t use red dots much with shotguns, but with this one it seemed more fitting. For this purpose I used my Sig Sauer Romeo, it mounts easily to the pic rail and gave a good sight picture. I grabbed a few boxes of target ammo from Federal Champion as well as some from Rio Ammunition. While this shotgun might not seem like a bird hunting gun, I still wanted to grab a case of White Flyer clay targets and hand thrower just to see how we could connect with aerial targets.

lots of controls here, and all ambidextrous

Taking clays out of the sky quickly became common and incredibly fun
the ergonomics of this gun feel great
inserting and removing the magazine is a bit more intricate
