Tell us about your home defense shotgun?

[Certaindeaf]

Anyone see that ad on this forum? Some sort of handgun shotgun?

They advertise shipping straight to home in all but like 3 states. Oregon was not one of them. How is this legal?

I think that's a muzzle-loader.

If you end up going with a Mossberg or Remington, this might be a worthwhile upgrade for HD:

That look's really cool. My only hesitation with it would be that I have built up a lot of muscle memory reloading from a side saddle, and I would worry that I might fumble it in the dark.

There was a guy at my range that had one while we were there. It's a black powder pistol which is why it's legal. He shot a ball and some shot through it. If you only need to it looks like a heckuva way to go.

Tell you about my HD shotgun…. which one?




I have one for each hand, and if you look really closely at the photo you'll see they spell, "FAFO".

Be jealous, all.

If things get messy and I need more than two, "Granny" is substituted with the "Bronze Witch" H&R 12ga.

It would be this Maverick 88, 20" cylinder bore loaded with 8+1 aguila minibuck.

Hey, you're supposed to shoot the shells, not smoke 'em.

Remington 870 Express Synth Tactical. +1 extension and Magpul FDE Furniture. I used to have a light on it, but it was a cheap bubblegum amazon one and the switch broke about a year ago. Still hunting for a good replacement.

I spent a few minutes googling out of curiosity. Found some stuff about first gen models over 10 years ago...People saying it's from short stroking, I don't know. I know that I would highly recommend this shotgun to anyone for home defense.

I was an early defender of KT because my P3AT ran flawlessly after a short break-in period. Then after the disappointing KSG action and then the Sub2000 FTF problems, I started paying attention. A friend picked up a PMR30 and it had the stovepipe problem and then got recalled. They make interesting guns, but I don't trust them anymore. The KSG and Sub2K were both well over $1K when I bought them and required a lot of work. The next time I want an expensive gun that doesn't work out of the box, I'll buy a Kimber. At least when I'm done I'll have a Kimber.

What did the plaid shirt, logging boot wearing hipster gunsmith say after fixing a gun?

KIMBER!!

I thought you were going to say Atlatl.

That's outstanding. Just seeing one makes me want to try it out.

The Archery segment in PE class is a lot of fun.
The kids use compound bows...and I get to bring in my traditional archery gear and bows.
I give shooting tips...and history lessons...the kids love to watch me shoot my bows and Atlatl .

@Andy54Hawken , I always knew you were a sharp guy...

Yeah, yeah, we get the point.

 

[OrPackrat]

I have a few to choose from depending on the bump in the night.

VR80 9+1
VRPA40 9+1
Tristar Cobra Force 2 5+1
KSG12 14+1

The Tristar is one of my favorite pump actions.

Put it through a class for shotgun home defense and that thing cycles well...
