Used to shoot 10-15 rounds a week and several of my coworkers know about it. Clays/trap and the long lost ZZ-birds......
Anyways, I continuously get questions about which new ( IMPORTED from turkey/spain/china.) shotgun would be the "best" for HD.
I don't have a clue about the quality of some of the stuff Academy or Dick's or Cabela's or................... get the point?
I have always used Beretta shotguns. Learned on them 40+ years ago. Still use them. Don't see me wearing out either of my 1201FP's. They kick a ton, but they sure are reliable.
I get confused with terminology - doesn't assault mean to charge forward ~ and HD means to maintain a defensive location? What the heck is a door breacher on a HD shotgun for???
I know when I was a kid everyone wanted a Luger pistol and a M1 carbine or M16 because they were " COOL ". Nobody wanted a 1911 -strange. Dad's already had one, we wanted exotic.
I have since moved away from that mentality due to lack of funds.
But it appears folks are doing the same thing with HD. Not cool IMHO.
I guess in a long-winded way I am trying to question why anyone would want a shotgun with 10-15 do-dads hanging off their life or death weapon.
I despise shooting a pistolgrip from the floor, don't feel the need for any sights at HD ranges, and having more than the mag full, feel like I sure need more friends on my side of the scuffle. The only thing on my shotgun extra from the factory is the shells.
Any excuse to get a firearm is perfect to me, ANY excuse!, but a " GO-TO " shotgun from ..........WHO??? Not me.
