Show of your favorite home defense shotgun!

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

Shotguns, you say?

Yes, I like shotguns. *Almost* as much as I like rifles and handguns.

So here are some pics of all of them, including the home defense shottie at the bottom.


Bottom to top, we have three 12 gauges, three 20 guages, one .410 longgun, one .410 revolver, and one .22 cal air shotgun:

Bottom to top:
1. (semi-auto) Saiga-12, 19", 12 ga 2.75 & 3.0", with Armson OEG, ACE accessories, and Streamlight TLR-2.
2. (single shot) Remington/Baikal Spartan SPR94 12 ga 2.75 & 3.0" and .223 rem bbl (scope for the .223, irons for the shotgun)
3. (semi-auto) NEF Excel Auto 5 Turkey, 22", 12 ga 2.75 & 3.0" (if you can see it on my comforter )
4. (semi-auto) Winchester 1400, 26", 20 ga 2.75 & 3.0"
5. (SxS) CZ/Huglu Durango, 20", 20 ga 2.75 & 3.0"
6. (single shot) Savage 12 F, 24", 20 ga 2.75 & 3.0" and .22lr (scope for BOTH the .22 and the shotgun)
7. (single shot) NEF Survivor, 20", .410 bore 2.75 & 3.0" and .45 colt
8. (revolver) Taurus Tracker 5-shot, .410 bore, 2.75" only
9. (single shot) Gamo Viper Express, .22 cal air shotgun



A little odd, though, that all those shotguns and no pumps. I'm gonna have to add a pump. I've had 3 in the past but sold or gave them all away (Rem 870 xpress, Win 1300, and Mossberg 500A). I like my 12 gauges to be semi-auto, to lessen recoil, but I'm not opposed to a 20 or 28 or .410 pump.

And the other pics....

Here's my latest, Mossberg 930, it started out as a 28" field model, but I put an 18-1/2" Security barrel on.

I need to make a saiga 12 motivational poster. Any ideas for a witty slogan?

"Saiga 12 loaded with Buckshot...
...For those times when your target deserves way more 30 caliber holes per shot than an AK-47"

"Saiga 12...
...Like an AK-47, but these go to '12'!" ("Spinal Tap" Movie Reference)

"Saiga 12 with a High Capacity Magazine...
...'Destructive Device'? Isn't that the point?"

Trying to figure out how to post a photo, thought this is a good place to start.

 

[North of 49th]

I'd go for a 870 any day

 

[Regolith]

The sidesaddle is on the left because I'm a lefty.

Here it is again from the "correct" side:



And yes, that is a 28" barrel.

I plan on eventually getting a 20" barrel for it, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Cool phone

Cool phone

Hehe. That thing is at least as old as I am, if not older. It used to belong to my parents, but they tossed it in a junk bin after they installed a wireless set. I "liberated" it a couple of years ago. It still works, and it was free.

 

[AHMiller1776]

Sweet phone.

It'll come in handy when the power goes out ... while the rest of us .... ya know, the "sophisticated ones" try to figure out how to make a phone call with our energy dependent cordless phones.

 

[Regolith]

It'll come in handy when the power goes out ... while the rest of us .... ya know, the "sophisticated ones" try to figure out how to make a phone call with our energy dependent cordless phones.

Yes, that part DID factor into my thinking when I "liberated" it.

Particularly since around here we get an average of 5 or 6 power outages a year.

 

[AHMiller1776]

yeah ... I've got a simpler version that I bought a couple of years ago. I think someone borrowed it .... need to find that thing ... keep forgetting about it.

They're not easy to find these days.

House/bush camp gun.

 

[Hank Zudd]

very nice thumper, Geo

that's another reason to hate you far northern guys; easier to get SBR/SBS's

The short barreled 870 is about ideal to me.

Get's the job(s) done

590A1 20"
Knoxx SpecOps Stock
EOTech 552
Streamlight TLR-2 (took it of the Glock for the pic but have a TLR-1 on the way)
6-round side saddle
Ontario Knife Co M9 bayonet (Zombie stand-off unit) NOT IN PIC

All you see in the pic PLUS the M9 Zombie Standoff Unit (bayonet) and a full 15 rounds of 00 buck (8+1 plus 6 in the side saddle) weighs 12 lbs and I can lighten it up right quick ;-)

Bought a pallet of ammo from ammoman in NJ (split with a friend). Have put a couple of thousand rounds down the pipe and she eats anything and everything. Magnum slugs used to be a bitch - now... less of a bitch.

 

[SiG357]

Mossberg 500

 

[Gunsby_Blazen]

Hey, FJ55
How does that Eotech work on that shotgun? Its something I don't see much. How is your cheek weld and how is its pointability?
I have been curious about that for some time.
thanks,

 

[GunTech]

Benelli M1 Super 90 10.5 inch bbl. Great for indoors.

 

[SiG357]

Wow, wish I could have a shorter barrel.

 

[CZguy]

Wow, wish I could have a shorter barrel.

It really is a matter of personal taste.

I find that the balance of an 18 inch barrel without a magazine extension is perfect.

It may not look as cool, but results count.
