I now have two defense shotguns at home - a Winchester 1300 Defender and a Remington 870 Police Magnum - both with 18 in barrels. The Police Magnum is what I plan to shoot the crap out of but frankly, the lighter weight of the Winchester, its smooth as silk action, makes it a top notch, home weapon. It's not built to the same standards at the 870 Police and I don't plan to fire it a whole lot but I love its handling qualities - especially with the Hogue stock and forend. It's the one that now stays in the bedroom, tactical flashlight and ghost ring installed. The Remington 870 Police on the other hand, is built to withstand an atomic bomb and it's my practice weapon of choice.

By the way, I also have a SA XD 40 in OD green and love it. Just ordered an EFK aftermarket barrel for it.
