Are there any benefits of having a heat shield on a shotgun?

To answer your question OP, there's really not provided you aren't in a warzone where you'll need to be grabbing your shit all the time and can't afford to be careful about hand placement.

I want one for my shot gun

Loading any tube based shotgun after fast firing is far easier. Once you figure out how to load it without flipping the gun around, the heat shield loses its value.

the maverick 88 has the trigger safety.

You get to pretend you have some fancy trench gun from Cawadooty World at War

Pretty nice for when you magdump and transition to CQCing shitlibs in the civil wars to come

There's a company that actually makes reproduction models. They're still almost $1000, but waaay better than prices I've seen actual ones go for.

Looks dope as fuck

>>32609741
Those are chinese and can slam fire its pretty hilarious. They lack disconnectors or you can just take them out. Also those are pretty good, I have experience with them and can say they do live up to the real ww2 ones.

>>32609672
4500+ on gunbroker. You aint getting a real one so easy.

>>32610331
By "slam fire" do you mean holding down the trigger and pumping the action, causing the round to go off as soon as it's loaded? Because if so, holy shit that sounds awesome.

>>32607699
To actually answer your question it so you can put your hand over the barrel for bayoneting purposes. Like holding a short spear. They've stayed around mostly for the look and because some modern shotgun like the 590 still have bayonet lugs.

>>32610331
The real Winchesters can slamfire too, as can Model 12's.

>>32607699
Yes it shields from heat

You're a fucking retard, they were designed to be slam fired like:

>>32610428
I can confirm, I have personally shot a WWII original Ithica M1897 and the first thing the collector told me to try with it. There are also numerous videos and articles documenting these being used in the trenches in this manner and that they were designed to be optionally slam fired.

Not getting a burnt hand?

Is this 'retards invade /k/' day? This is about the 4th dumb thread I've seen in the past hour

>>32610331
>>32610428
Both the original Winchester 1897 AND the Chinese Norinco 1897 clone can both slamfire

That guy is smoking crack. I paid $400 for mine and that's after they stopped being imported.
