Deplorable Dan Posted Wednesday at 10:27 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:27 PM Howdy! I just shoot my first WB match this month and loved it! I used one of the new 1887 lever guns offered by Cimarron and saw that everyone else was shooting 97's. I am wondering if I were to buy one of them, which one and why? I like the 87 but I intend on having the "drop two" mod done to it so I would not longer be able to stoke the tube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holloman Posted yesterday at 12:26 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:26 AM Get a model 12. You won't regret it. The only real advantage of the 97 over the 12 is the ability to use it in Cowboy matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deplorable Dan Posted yesterday at 12:58 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 12:58 AM I got Cowboy covered with my Stoger and the 1887. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Deal Posted yesterday at 01:40 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:40 AM Model 12 is by far the fastest, most reliable and available shotgun for Wild Bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvertip Posted yesterday at 02:04 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:04 AM After you get a model 12 contact Boggus Deal for one of his firing pins. ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great that you jumped into WB, thanks to the new rules, I'm glad you got to try WB with your 87 ! Now that you know you like it, yes a Model 12 would be perfect for WB. 17 hours ago, Silvertip said: After you get a model 12 contact Boggus Deal for one of his firing pins. ST Definitely a good option once you find one. Boggus doesn't care much for me, but he has good gun parts. 😂 Good luck and welcome, CC Moonshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lassiter, chief progenitor of the "drop two" mod, says that an 1887 CAN be returned to stoke mode with a simple part which is easily installed. Yes to the Model 12; yes to the 1897 second, but I just ran a WB match with a fellow shooting a very slick 1887, and he was running just fine with it.

I appreciate it very much. Truly. Second, I don’t know you well enough personally to like or dislike. I just don’t like or agree with things you’ve said and done. Two different things.

Doc Holloman Posted 22 minutes ago Share Posted 22 minutes ago One rule change I hope that the TGs take up is allowing Model 12s in 20 gauge. We now allow SxS 20ga guns so the Model 12 should not be too objectionable.(The 97 was never made in 20ga.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
