Just bought a savage 350 (Ithaca 37 clone) as a barn gun, 5+1 with a ghost ring. When I get a chance to shoot it I'll let everyone know
I'm actually thinking about a Norinco Ultra 87 (a Remington 870) clone, same reason as the 350. Why, you may ask; they fit my budget, TBH

I have a Mossberg 590 12-gauge with 20" barrel, 8+1 of 00 buckshot. Honestly, it shoots great, but it doesn't handle well. It would be my 3rd choice (3rd is far from last) for an HD situation.
The two or three occasions that had me grabbing a firearm for a possible HD situation (I think they all turned out to be cats loose in the house) I grabbed my Marlin 1894CS in .357 mag. I have more range time with the Marlin than any other firearm. In fact I took my first deer with it this fall. It is my "cold dead hands" gun and, therefore, primary HD. I do have a youngster in the house now so my first concern would be getting him in his mother's arms, which would mean exiting the bedroom. So a handgun might be a better choice all around. |

I keep a Remington 870 Police w/Speedfeed, on the wall, cruiser ready. I keep it loaded, alternating shot then slugs.
I sleep with a G29SF next to my bed, stoked with 9 rounds of Black Talon.

My home shotgun very well may get an upgrade when the new Keltec double-magazine bullpup reaches the market.
If it's decently priced and reliable, I'm going to pick one up.

Correction
I erroneously identified my Mossberg as a 590 while it is actually a 500 Persuader. However, I still don't like it very much for HD. I'm going to try it with a standard stock on it before I sell it. I bought it used and is already had this stock installed and I don't think its original. For me, the advantage of having the safety on the rear goes out the window when you put a pistol grip stock on a Mossberg because it can no longer be easily accessed by my thumb.

My HD Shotguns
Right now I am currently using a FNH-USA Self Loading Police loaded with Winchester Ranger SXT 00 Buck. My pump is a Remington 870 Expresd Magnum wiyh a Surefire fore end light. The SLP has a streamlight M3 on the factory rail.
My bump in the night handgun is FNH-USA FNP-45 with a Surefire X200.

Good point. As much as I prefer a tang operated safety over a crossbolt, much of its easy access advantage probably is negated by a "tactical" pistol grip stock.

I also use a coachgun,a true one.Stoeger Defense with the rail and a Surefire light.I cut it down to about a 14" barrel.
Dont have to worry about running out of lead with a 56 shell bandoleer.

Mossberg 590A1 loaded with snap caps and a bayonet
But seriously.. the bayonet joke aside I use 00 Buck. I have been reading about the effectiveness of #1 Buck and the benefits of it versus 00 so i'll probably switch to that when I get around to buying a few boxes.

NEF Pardner Pump "Protector"
Here's my NEF 870 clone. Has a Tactical stock from Valhalla Armory on it, came with the front rail and foregrip, but i not sure i like the foregrip....
*this is not the "Recoil Reducing" stock. I just needed a little shorter LOP for more comfortable manuvering. also allows for when my son is older he can still use it by adjusting the stock.... |

I don't see too many 1300 Defender's posted lately so here's my old school 1984 model. Next up is either a Knoxx Spec Op or KickLite stock. Still unsure which to choose. I'm not yet sure if I will loose the current fore end or keep it. I'll know more once the stock is on and I have done some testing.

Mossberg 500A 12GA. Synthetic. 20in smooth barrel it came with. 8rd capacity but it's plugged down to 3 and I don't want to lose the plug dowel so I leave it in. Loaded with 7 1/2 birdshot.
I used to keep buck in it, but then I read some Ernest Hemingway stories about following wounded leopards and lions into dense cover where he carried a shotgun loaded with birdshot for probable lightning fast close quarters engagements where failure means a bad day all around. And then I read about thin walled houses like mine and buckshot. Then I considered that I have a wife and kids. So I went to birdshot. I'll let you know how it works if I ever have to use it. Unless the birdshot decision was wrong. Then you might never hear from me again. Last edited by lawnboy; April 5, 2011 at 06:24 PM. |

t45 you may want to look at the two nutnfancy videos on the kel tec ksg; especially the parts about jamming, loading, and setting the safety.

12 gauge coach gun. Short of dying, I would do anything to keep from having to grease someone, so I load the right barrel with skeet shot, if a blast of sand won't deter or disable the intruder, I will fire the left barrel which is loaded with a rifled slug. That way I can honestly say I did all I could to not kill the intruder, right up to the point that the rifled slug cut the poor bastard in half. After that it is my .38 S&W; at 25' I can't miss, assuming I am not in full panic mode of course.
