Shotgun guys…..

[08H3]

Okay, so leaving out all the urban myths like rack a 12ga and they will run , what’s your go to setup for home/ homestead defense?

Are you a 870 / 500 pump guy? Or similar

Or a 1100/11-87 / 930 kinda guy?

Weighing the pros and cons they both have appeal to each type but what’s your preference? And barrel length?

Myself I’m split, I have one pump 870 SBS it’s purpose built for SD/ HD with a 14” barrel and plus 1 extension

But I have a Sportsman 48 cut to 18.75” and a 1100 at 21”. They are still in the testing/ modding phase as the 1100 needs a little fixing up and the 48 needs tested for reliability.

My focus was on reliability. For the long haul and maybe when repair parts might not be available I leaned towards a pump action but when I discovered the 12ga Benelli M3 which converts from semi-automatic to pump with the flip of a switch… that’s my home defense/apocalypse weapon.

Benelli M4 cause I'm not pumping nothing to give you a warning and I'm sure they've heard stealing aint right so I'm not taking the time to go over that again with em either.

Beretta 1301 24" I can run it faster or better than I can an 18". With the tube, side saddles and one round ghost loaded on the lifter, I have 25 rounds ready.

Mossberg 500 Pursuader 20". 7+1 gets the job done. Complete with mounted light and a bandolier sling.

My HD shotgun is a HK Benelli M1 Super 90 18” barrel with modified screw in choke and 4 shot extension.

I have a KS-12 with a similar treatment, but I'm not sold on drum mags. I use CSSpecs steel Saiga mags, most reliable you can get.

I know what you mean, but I got lucky with a Pro-Mag drum mag. Several hundred rounds through it of bird shot, buck shot, and slugs, and not a single issue so far. It’s nice not having a high-cap mag that sticks way down below the shotgun.
