maimai · December 20, 2008, 05:37 AM

I don't have one.Because in my country only police can use gun.But I'm going there next year , first I learn lawyer over there and may I will choose good one later

Death from Afar · December 21, 2008, 03:31 PM

Probably the gun that fits you best would be my guess..........

GoCart · December 21, 2008, 03:55 PM

I voted Mossberg but my heart says remington... TOUGH VOTE!!

freakintoguns · December 21, 2008, 04:18 PM

remignton 870. hands down.

onthejon55 · December 21, 2008, 04:52 PM

I have a 500 and an 870. the 870 is my pick

fxdrider · December 23, 2008, 09:28 AM

While I recognize the 870 Remington is definitely the reigning king-o'-the-pump guns, I think the Winchester 1300 is really underrated. JMHO.

Apparently, I'm one of VERY few.

I just like the feel of it, and I shoot well with it.

I do like the 870 Express Deer Gun with the Monte Carlo stock. That helps with cheek weld, and proper sight alignment.

Alright, I'm going shopping now for an 870.

870 with mag extension and number 4, 5 or 6 shot for inside the home use...don't frown about using small shot...I've seen several guys die from a load of it in the chest....you can't stop up all the little bleeding holes and they don't go through the sheetrock and kill a loved one...

SmokeyVol · December 24, 2008, 11:00 PM

Winchester Model 12. I have one made the year I was born (1953) that my dad gave me over 40 years ago. I also have a Remington 870 Wingmaster, but the Model 12 will always be my favorite.

JWT · December 24, 2008, 11:16 PM

Winchester Model 12

jsa3107 · December 25, 2008, 12:22 PM

I would have to believe the model 12 Winchester would have to be the best of the best.....

Yeah, I used birdshot in my shotguns because my granpappy told me it was good enough. Then I thought, my pistols, even a 25 acp, penetrates more than birdshot so I switched to snakeshot for my pistols. No sense in having that dangerous penetration in your home defense rounds for either your shotgun or your pistols. However, then I learned that even snakeshot, my supertacticool bayonet mounted to my home defense shotgun, or even my fist would easily penetrate sheetrock. So now I load a mix of nerf sabots and pixie dust shotshells (usually cherry pixie dust). Sometimes the wads will still penetrate sheetrock, though. I've often thought of loading necco wafers also. I'll try that next. /sarcasm off

hogdogs · December 25, 2008, 06:45 PM

With proper shot placement, wall penetration is not a big issue with shot guns as with FMJ rifle ammo that fails to hit bone. Shotguns will not spread enuff to allow "close to" shooting. Center of mass is still required to stop the threat.
I am stuck with #3 buck in my 20 gauge do to lack of larger shot availability. If you do not trust your ability to hit your target, practice is the answer, not bird shot. At some of the shorter in-home distances, bird shot can and will penetrate walls with enuff force to cause injury to those on the other side but cannot be counted on to be a flawless round for HD. Don't get me wrong... I would rather use #8 than nothing at all...

For home defense, Mossberg 500 12ga 20" barrel Cruiser(7+1) and cheap too

Chuckusaret · December 25, 2008, 08:08 PM

#8 for home defense, no way. If the BG is confronted and is armed, he is in your house, his intent is to blow you away, and you want to go easy on him. I load one BB, six 00 buck and 0ne slug. The old saying is "Bird shot for the birds, buckshot fot the Buck and a slug for the thug"

gustav129 · December 25, 2008, 08:25 PM

With the birdshot debate replies, I thought I was accidentally reading the same thread as I did earlier today.

hogdogs · December 25, 2008, 08:37 PM

I think pert near every HD shotgun thread will go to best shell for HD use birdshot vs. buck given enuff time.

Erik · December 25, 2008, 08:57 PM

The Rem 870 is the benchmark, regardless of whether it is the best.

jammin1237 · December 25, 2008, 09:10 PM

win 1300, what else can i say.........

GuateShooter · December 25, 2008, 10:26 PM

Remington 870 its the best !!!

Theodore · December 25, 2008, 10:46 PM

I have seen the results of small shot when fired into the thorax at 20-25 feet and it is devastating and will kill the heck out of a perp...I don't know about pixie stuff and wafers up in snake infested Meechigan...probably similar to their football team, just a figment of someones imagination...no pun intended

nemoaz · December 26, 2008, 12:43 AM

double post

nemoaz · December 26, 2008, 12:46 AM

Never fear, I'm a Gator!

More truthfully, I'm some sort of indentured servant repaying loans to the University of Florida.

My opinions on birdshot fully have been fully expressed in the last 150 birdshot vs. buckshot threads.

eaglesnester · February 14, 2009, 06:44 PM

My vote goes against the general grain here. It would seem that the overwhelming majority of the shooters on this site like the Remington 870. Well I have to vote for the Browning BPS. The fit and finish of the BPS is as nice as my 300 Weatherby Lazermark (blueing is beautiful) and that says a lot. The action of the BPS is butter smooth and I like the steel receiver

. I love the bottom ejecting of the spent hulls. Everything is where it should be on the BPS. What is there not to like except price. Yes the BPS costs more than a 870 but ya get what ya pay for boys and girls.

Creature · February 14, 2009, 06:49 PM

Owned the Rem 870, Win 1300 and Mossberg 590. Which did I keep? The Mossberg. Better placement/ergonomics of safety and bolt release.

Shaun_300 · February 16, 2009, 06:38 PM

I picked Remington 870, with Browning BPS close behind.
