I just made an impulse purchase of a brand new Wilson Combat Border Patrol 870 shotgun while stopping into an out-of-town gun shop to buy ammo for my revolver and to ask some questions about shotguns. I have been in the market for a home defense shotgun and doing web research for a few months and I had pretty much decided on the Remington 870 Police but when I handled this Wilson shotgun I got caught up in the moment and the next thing I knew I was walking out the door with it and I was $1,215 (plus tax) poorer. After thinking about it later I got serious buyer's remorse because I am afraid that all I really got was a Remington Express with a few extra bells and whistles that I could have put together for a lot less than $1,200. It came with an adjustable Knoxx stock, ghost ring sights, soft case, tactical sling, extended magazine and a six round sidesaddle shell carrier (but no tac light). Can somebody tell me what it is that I bought that makes it worth all that extra money? I realize that I didn't get any great deal and that I should have done more research before buying it, but can someone at least make me feel better by telling me that I didn't get played for a total sucker? Thanks!
