    Yep. I put the same one in my M&P Shield. Absolutely love it. I put the same kit in my full-size M&P 9mm.

    Picked this up for $210 the other day.

    Remington 870 "P" model. It was an old Colorado DOC shotgun. Complete with side saddle. Furniture is a little worn, so that will be getting replaced after the first of the year. All in all, it was a smokin' deal.

    I was thrilled when I found an ancient Wingmaster with the skeet barrel for $150 a few months back. Now I'll just hang my head in shame.

    Wait, wanna make $20?

    What brand are those cleats? Looks like they'll fit over large boots okay.

    They are Yaktrax Icetrekkers Diamond Grip cleats. https://www.rei.com/product/806475/y...raction-system

    The ones in the pic are the XL size on my wife's size 9 Sorels. They also fit on my size 11 Danner Pronghorn boots. Haven't tried them on my Sorels yet.

    They look like they fit much better than the cheaper versions I have. I have some Yaktraks as well and they are much better.

    I also picked up some cheaper ones from tirechain.com. The rubber straps aren't nearly as thick and sturdy as the Yaktrax, and the chain links are a lighter gauge steel. Maybe okay to keep in the vehicle for an unanticipated situation.

    I picked up some from Walmart with the same idea. They've been sitting in vehicles, out of the sun, for a few years now. I took a look at them the other day and the plastic is worn thin and ready to break. A few minutes on a shoe and I think they'll break. I've only tried them on in the house. The lesson learned is the same one as always; while $6 per pair is cheap, you get what you pay for.
