good home defense shotgun?

[Bearco]

Sorry to hear that about your 870's, I got mine about 18 yrs ago and I have done everything with it. It has never failed me once. I bought a new one last yr, I hope it proves to be just as reliable. I bought a Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag Turkey gun about 8 yrs ago for hog hunting, it has never failed me either.

What type of rounds should one use for home defense?

I was thinking no. 4 buckshot. What do you think?

 

[Swampy]

I use Federal Tactical buckshot..

Very nice stuff...

How much you want for those junky 870s?

.

PM if you want.

KS-23 sounds good. It's a 4G; just what you need.

Behold my new HD shotgun "Gustav"

I ordered this 12 gauge from Hebert's back in December of 07 and just now got it last month.

18.5" Benelli Supernova with Comfortech recoil reducing stock and ghost ring sights. Added Tac-star heat shield and 7 shot extension. My 4 shot side saddle is back ordered.

nice looking gun, what did it run you?

 

[swagge1]

Thanks Colin, it ran me $433.99 Tax included. I have yet to shoot it, but I have broken it down and inspected it and I feel that it is built much more robust than an 870 which I also own.

Excellent The 870 is nice and reliable, have had one for about 15 years, but I don't like it all that much for some reason.

 

[mcinfantry]

for 299 this isnt really a bad deal.
12 ga, two hammers, two triggers.
iirc thats 18.5" barrel and 28 oal

I think the 870 is OK, but like you, I feel that something is "lacking" with it. For one thing I feel that the rails that extend frome the forearm are a bit weak. The Benelli bolt, carrier, and firing pin are very similar to an AR-15's setup. They both have a rotating bolt and the firing pins are nearly identical. The Supernova's bolt is just alot more robust than the AR's. I'll try to take some pics tomorrow if I have a chance.

I have the FN SLP. 12ga semi auto shotgun. shoots smooth with less recoil than pumps. kinda pricey though.

^^^Sure is fun to shoot though, I love mine.

nothing like rapid fire with a 12ga.

i just wish it holds more.

I like rapid-fire 12 gauges too......... I have absolutely no feed problems with this 10" TROMIX S-12....The AGP mags are 10 rounds, and load in way faster than getting one or two up a tube, and the 20 round drums are on the way.....

Will at RedJacket in Baton Rouge also does a helluva job on these Saiga-12 conversions !!

As far as a shotgun goes, you just can't beat the firepower and ROF of these Saiga-12's !!

 

[Manimal]

One hell of a nice gun Jeaux E

 

[Jeaux E]

Thanks, Manimal........!!
I have another TROMIX S-12, as well........... It's an 18" barrel (no NFA stamp required).......
