    Who still hunts with a single shot shotgun?

    Generally for bird hunting i use my stevens 410. I have repeaters and a sxs but i just like it more. It was my first gun as well as my dads first gun and it will be my sons first gun

    Which would you grab?

    My choice 1911. I shoot them better. If if 9 isnt enough then it probably wouldnt matter anyway. Id be dead by then. To get to either me or my kids in my house to have to go down a long hallway. If the invaders still keep coming after I'm empty there is always a fully loaded shotgun near by
