Remington TAc13, with flashlight/ laser., side saddle holds 7 more. Pistol gripped with 13" barrel makes this pretty handy. My wife has one also. Loaded with 00. No recoil and holds 5 or 7. Showed it to my local police force when we called in a home invasion attempt. Would have cut them in half but the door held. I never felt under gunned, didn't grab my AR pistol although suppressed, my M14, or Vang Comp 870.

No recoil?

Zero. Well almost. Shoot slugs one handed. Dump the magazine. Surprising.

The Tac-13 is renowned for its low recoil. I understand they don't make them anymore. Used examples go for $1000 or more.

When Remington went bankrupt, the firearm disappeared. I have seen them being listed on Gunbroker for $2500. I think I paid $850 when I bought 3. One for me, wife and son. I just couldn't find anything better for home security. Also work great when in camper or motorhome.

I believe there is a Turkish nock off for around $700.

I wish I'd known about them before they went away. Sooner or later I'll probably get fed up and pick up one for $1k. I love my Tac-14 Hardwood. Low recoil 00 buck shoots very softly in it, but with a semi-auto I could up it to full power buckshot.
