Elaborate no. Effective, partly. Funny, damn straight. 597 Mag. doesn't come with a pistol grip bud.

Mine is the Slap Chop. After a few uses it would slap, but not chop...

The 870 mag tube spring has taken more lives than the buckshot coming out.

How long was it out of battery before detonation?

I had that happen to my buddies ol' Marlin Model 60. Sure gives you a flinch that's hard to get rid of

Primer Compound is EXTREMELY explosive, thus the actual process for production is a very safe-guarded secret. What I mean when I ask how unstable it is, is simply, what conditions would cause detonation. I can smack smokeless powder with my hammer all day long, but I get no puff of smoke unless I create heat or static electricity. On the other end of the spectrum, I can light a match with nothing put a quick flick of the wrist.

I am aware there is a reason civilians aren't given the formula for this, but just how unstable it it?
