I know this has probably been covered many times over, but I couldn't find what I was looking for through the search.
The one thing that I've noticed is that in my meager collection I am missing a good Home Defense Shotgun. Currently I have a Remington 870 w/ a 28 inch VR bbl that I use for skeet and trap. It's worked flawlessly in that role, but is just a little to long for HD. I know I can swap to a shorter bbl, but I use this shotgun a lot and would rather get a different shotgun for HD.
Going with that experience I was looking at Remington for a home defense shotgun. The marine magnums seem a little pricey while the modified 870s seem a better bargain. But, do I want to consider "bargain" when it comes to my HD shotgun?
I'd like to get one with the tube extension, but from what I've been reading on some posts, it may not be the best choice. Also, I'd like to get one that has a rail or way to mount some type of light to it.
I'd prefer not to get one with a pistol grip, as I don't see the need and for HD I also don't see a big need for rifle or ghost sites.
What would you recommend?
