Lets make this more simple, How important is an 18 inch barrel for a home defense shotgun???
I am looking at the Benelli Nova and the Remington 870 Express Mag. I can get both for around $350.
My purposes:
I have a great browning dove gun but it doesnt reach out to the duck when everyone is in a firing line
I want a pump gun for duck hunting first apartment defense second.
The delima:
both come with a 28 inch barrel and both will accept 3 1/2 inchers.
The I can easliy interchange the barrel in the 870 to an 18 inch for about 100 bucks. But it doesnt come with a nice set of choke tubes.
The Benelli comes with a very nice set of choke tubes but barrel interchange is far too expensive.
Im leaning toward the Benelli, but im still not sure. How important is an 18 inch barrel for home defense????
