That is the best way to use them, but without the brace the .410 model is capable of being ran most effectively, inside the home at least.
I wouldn't want one in 12, that's for sure.
Send it back to Hi Point. They'll fix it and give u a free mag.
I said u suck, I can hit with mine out to 50 yards with ease.

I have one. I thought they were stupid until I saw someone draw one from a holster. Now I have one too. It is just plain ridiculous.
And speaking of ridiculous I also bought this because it looks so stupid.
I have issues.

Silliest is my LR308 build in .300 WSM. It sounds like a reasonable build in that the .300 WSM was designed to work in short (i.e. .308 Win) bolt actions. Of course the devil is in the details. The .300 WSM overall length is 2.860" vs. the .308’s 2.800” and the case length is 2.100" vs. the .308’s 2.015”. So what’s the big deal about 0.06" of OAL and 0.085” of case length? As anyone who reloads knows, quite a bit. All the .300 WSM commercial ammo that I’ve found is loaded to the maximum OAL since all the bolt action .300 WSMs’ chambers are cut to this spec. That means that they really don’t fit in most LR308 magazines, that 0.06" is just a bit too much. The only mag that will “sort of” reliably work with commercial ammo is the ASC Stainless Steal SR-25 mag. So if you want to use a generic LR308 mag you need to modify them to allow them to hold the slightly longer cartridge (generally by cutting out a notch in the front of the mag, which ends up weakening the feed lips). But what you really want to do is to reload so you can keep your OAL to a compatible 2.800”. And that 0.085" of extra case length means you have to Dermal out the front of the upper’s ejection port in order to get the cases to eject reliably. Plus the shape of the cartridge means that you can’t get the first round to reliably feed if you put more than 4 rounds in the mag. Overall it’s a real pita. But when it’s working it actually is a remarkably accurate and powerful rifle. It does give a .300 Win. Mag. a run for it’s money.

I've got some pretty silly firearms, but last night, I hit the "Buy It Now" button on what will likely be my silliest to date. It will take a couple of weeks for me to get it, and I'll post up some pics after it arrives.

The 2 in the middle are Hamilton rifles, they have some kind of brass barrel wrapped in steel. Must have been a pretty inexpensive rifle for kids, back in the day when you could do that sort of thing. They sold for $2-5 dollars back in the 1898, other 22 rifles where about $10

Gentlemen, I present the Larc International M-19A "Anihilator" BB machine gun as found in magazine ads circa 1980. It can fire 3,000 BBs per minute using canned freon, destroying both tin cans and the ozone layer at the same time. Sights? Who needs 'em when you can follow the solid line of BBs to the point of impact. Plus there's some simulated wood accents, a carrying handle, and suppressor that keeps the sound down to that of a BB gun.
Back in the day I thought it would be cool to have one of these, but I knew I wouldn't be able to afford the freon it would take to power my very own mini-minigun! These things are ridiculous in person. It feels like an empty coolant container and weights under a pound with the stock attached. And you gotta love how the serial number was just scraped into the side!
It's possible to convert them to fire from a compressor, and I think I'll give it a go this summer.

Maybe it's the angle and all and I've seen photos of European rifle ranges that fire over an active road but it looks like he's firing on the same plane and at the end in the direction of the road.

As promised, here's that pretty silly gun I just bought. It's a Chiappa 1892 Mare's Leg. Oh, and it's a takedown model, so I can break it down to about half its length, which should come in handy if I ever want to pocket carry it. And although I like this medium sized lever on it, I think I'll be swapping it for a large lever, instead. I do that with most of my lever guns, actually. Now, I just need a holster for it, and a long trench coat for concealed carry.

Finally time for my MOST USELESS FIREARM!
I love to collect oddity firearms but I've had one on my bucket list for years. My friend and very very respected member of the firearm community made that happen. I would like to give a huge thank you to our own @cstockwell for understanding oddities and my mental retardation. This is a gun I would never sell.
Thanks Charlie. You've made my year.
The rest of you know how retarded I am already. Here she is! A minty fresh Zip22!
You can’t top a zip gun. So brilliantly awful.
