[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 2743684, member: 27991"] As to the OP, I would sell the Mags and do your mods on the 870. There is a reason military and police use and trust it. Second, I WAS a proponent of buckshot until I took a class back in '88. Dr. Red Duke was a guest speaker and the question of HD loads came up. His opinion based on 25 yrs of ER gun shot wound repair; Buckshot, extremely effective and over penetration/ wall penetration too risky. Recommend not using. 4s, 5s 6s, 7 1/2s all effective at high velocity loadings. Best load is 5s @ 1300+ fps. His words, "it is like straining their guts through a screen. I can't fix that many holes." Kent makes a 12 ga. 1 3/8 oz 5s @1500 2 3/4" My 870 sits by the bed loaded with 9 rounds. At 10 yards it will not penetrate a typical double sided Sheetrock wall. I feel adequately protected and the 1911 and .357 revolver are on the night stand,just in case. [/QUOTE]
