My first one was a stevens 410 single shot, then an Ithica mod37 20 ga. Have several old Brownings, sidexsides, auto5s, a few new Brownings citori, BPS, and 2 870s.
Only sold or traded 2 SGs since I got my first one over 30 years ago. a mossb 500 and an old Sears (H&R) single 12g.

I utilize a Mossberg 500ATP8 (7+1 shot riot gun) for duty and home protection. Wife is excellent shot w/it. Use Rem 1100 and Rem 970 for bird hunting. Just purchased the 1100 recently so don't have much experience w/it yet. I'd like to shoot more skeet, trap & sporting clays w/it. Lots of LEOs prefer the Benelli riot guns. Of course, some like the old S&W riot guns also.

REmington 870 with 21" fixed IC choke barrel and 30" Rem choked barrel.

Remington O/U 30" BBLS

Krieghoff K80 (surprise!) 30"BBLS

Krieghoff K20 20 AND 28GA 30"BBLS

Briley companion tubes in 28ga to fit 30" bbls.

I may dump the Remington O/U and Briley tubes as they never get used.

I'm covered for anything from Sporting Clays to Ducks to Y2K riots.
