Best pump-action combat shotgun in your opinion?

[Whit]

My favorite is the Remington 870 Police Magnum, after a few cases of ammo (thanks Dave McC) I wouldn't feel comfortable with anything else. ......Whit

Thanks, Whit, it's nice to know the words' spreading...

M-12 Riot. Buy guns that increase in value.

Besides, it's what every other pump wants to be. Fast, smooth, reliable, and entirely made of steel.

 

[DRG]

Rem 870 or Fabarms FP6

I have to say I'm a Benelli fan. Nova special purpose.

Winchester 1300 Defender.

 

[Ewok_Guy]

Mossberg 590 Defender.

Gotta be my Remington 870. Quick change barrels, quick change chokes, reliable as hell, and parts are availible everywhere if something does break. Not to mention oh-so-easy to work on.

It's almost the Garand of shotguns.

I do love the 590.

That is one awesome SG. I've been thinking SG for HD and now I thinks yours would be ideal. I gotta know, is this a commercial model or LE only? 18" barrel? Did it come stock with the dreaded bayonet lug? Is it for sale?

Thanks--Route 66

It began as a WalMart Remington 870 Express Magnum

I rebuilt it to resemble a Vietnam-era USMC Remington 870 Mark I, with 20" smoothbore deer barrel, original Remington military magazine tube extension w/barrel clamp/sling swivel/bayonet lug, metal heat shield, large button safety, monster green plastic magazine follower, and as a concession to modern materials, a Speedfeed Monte Carlo stock (for better eye alignment with the rifle sights). The choke is an extra-full turkey extended model, with the gun's carry load of 3" Magnum 000 Buckshot, the pattern at 40 yards is about 10 inches in diameter. My own version of Big Medicine, as it were. You can say I got a bit paranoid after a couple attempted break-ins at my old home in Citrus Heights, CA. It's still my current nightstand gun in Florida.
