I live in California, where a pistol grip stock on a semi-auto shotgun is illegal. So I use a Remington 870 with a Knoxx SpecOps stock. While I like the looks of the SpeedFeed stocks better, the Knoxx SpecOps eliminates recoil, and adjusts to fit every shooter. So I ran with it, and I dig it. I also dig the fact that you can get a SureFire weapon light made for the Remington 870. They look really cool, and there are no cords to get tangles up when racking it. Accessory wise, the Remington 870 and the Mossberg 500 seem to be your best options. But the key is to get the right accessories. Otherwise you're just adding weight and getting nothing back.

If Knoxx or SureFire are listing, I accept bribes in the form of free product, you guys are the best

pump. you won't loose control and unload everything so easily.
And the "clack clack" sound will in my mind stop most people. was said it wouldnt, but those people weren't breaking in and knew the sound wasn't a shotgun being aimed at THEM

paulweir · July 27, 2006, 06:35 PM

Another pump, Mossberg 590 with a 500 backup

cplane · July 27, 2006, 06:40 PM

I have an extended mag Winchester 20" barrel mod 1300 pump. I would love to have an auto, But like someone said, It is twice the price!

Austin HiPowers · July 27, 2006, 08:58 PM

Mossberg 500

viper5243 · July 28, 2006, 09:28 AM

Just wondering but why would you want the "clack Clack"? To Scare them? Personally i dont want anybody that breaks into my house to be scared, i want them lieing on the groung with a bunch of tiny holes in them, and that "clack Clack" just give them more to to find out where you are and shoot back. Just my two cents

FN Police pump for me. I don't have anything against autos I just got a nice deal on this one before USRA quit making them. The sights are a plus so is the D&T, may add a red dot or something later.

Viper, you are right, but if they heard anything it would be the Ka-chunk of my semi auto..Just before the Boom. Besides, I can use it even if I were shot in the arm,, not so with a pump..I really doubt the bad guys are going to release the contents of their bowels into their pants at the sound of your pump,, more than likely, they will shoot in the direction of the sound

Quickdraw Limpsalot · July 28, 2006, 05:02 PM

Two pumps, both from Mossberg... a Maverick 88 and Mossberg 835.

Taurus_9mm · August 11, 2006, 10:32 PM

Semi-Auto Winchester 1400.

ptalar · August 13, 2006, 08:00 PM

I have a Benelli M1 Super 90 Tactical (18.5 inch and 8 shot) and Winchester Defender Model 1300 (18.5 inch and 8 shot). The best of both worlds.

I have a Rem. 870 HD that is currently being coated for rust protection . I plan to pick up a semi-auto within the next few days also. Right now I am leaning toward a Mossberg 930 SPX. Anyway, just thought I would do this and now don't hafta decide between the two. One at each end of the house will do fine. ( I had the M1 Super 90, sold it to gather funds for my motorcycle. Had the Rem marine Magnum, traded it for body work on my Xterra...would be great if I still had them, but these two will do just fine ) )

dabigguns357 · December 13, 2009, 12:00 PM

I now have 2 mossberg 500 12 gauges one fitted with my rifled slug barrel and a new to me 18 1/2 inch i/c barrel thats outfitted with a tactical light for the night time.My wife even has her mossberg pump 410 by her side of the bed.

I went pump because they are cheaper to buy.

Wishoot · December 13, 2009, 02:43 PM

I use a Wingmaster, but also have a nice Winchester SX2 and an OU just in case.

A number of handguns supplement the shotguns nicely.

MrPink · December 13, 2009, 05:09 PM

Remington 870 Police Magnum, factory SBS with 14" bbl. Federal 00 buck, reduced recoil. 13" LOP stock, Surefire with X300.

BigPapa4147 · December 13, 2009, 05:24 PM

Mossberg 590

ms357sig · December 13, 2009, 05:40 PM

Mossberg SPX 930 8+1 w 18" barrel and an LPA Ghost Ring works for me. Everytime I take it to the range people are in awe to see me shoot that thing. Some say that the auto's are unreliable. I haven't had a misfeed yet. As far as the pump goes.... If an itruder is in your house and you have a house over 2700 sq feet they may not hear the pump and if they do hear the pump and they are armed it gives them the chance of pulling out. Id rather have them not see or hear me coming.

glove · December 13, 2009, 07:11 PM

Pump here maverick 88, 7 + 1 20" barrel.

SilentHitz · December 13, 2009, 07:24 PM
