a light could be usefull everything else no just a bead and a light does the job. and did they really have to paint the wood black?
 
It's ported. Not a beneficial feature on a HD gun, IMO. the last thing I want is to be blinded by the first shot. That, and I think cylinder bore would be better than IC, considering that slugs are a popular choice in HD for those of us whose neighbors are a little further than spittin' distance.
 
Only advantage over a pump is bad guy looking at 2 12ga. tubes vs 1. The
pump has it all over this thing in all other ways. you can get all the geegaws and doodads you want to hang on a gun for impressing your uninformed friends. I plan on getting a collapseable stock for my 870 so it will fit wheather I'm in the woods in spring for gobblers or in Jan. with 5 layers of insulation on. I don't even take the plug out tween hunting seasons. Three's enough.
 
And even funnier to watch you being asked to put it away or leave....

Really? Heck I must run in low circles, cause I was able to win a little but of coin with a 20 inch barrel 1100. I got several chuckles, but nobody asked me to leave.
 
An 1100 with a 20 inch barrel is not quite the same as the topic gun, is it?

Nope, on that I can agree. An 1100 with a 20 inch barrel is not a sxs with a 20 inch barrel. However, can you explain why they would allow one 20 inch barrel and not another?

I was talking about showing up with the light/scope accessories being on it when you showed up - not about the barrel length.......:eek:
 
Did you notice the furnature is black paint over the wood.

I live in a 150sqft cabin. If the fight takes greater than two shots, it has necessarily moved outdoors, in which case I'll pick up the M1a on the way out.

Though I would likely leave the top rail off, the lower rail would be very handy for something to light up the porcupines and coyotes that sniff around my door at night.

As an added bonus, the DD has exactly the same controls as my hunting gun, a Savage Fox that I've had since the day I was born. I'd just use that, but I keep whacking the barrels into the door frame when I go out to see what's got the dog so riled up.
 
Are you kidding? This is is one of the best range toys ever. Load up with 3" Magnum slugs -- I actually own one because it was a no-show layaway and I got it for $329.

Full of win:

Does anyone market a shockproof tv remote. That would be a useful addition watching the tube while waiting for the zombies to arrive.

I can't believe I'm actually seeing a Bi-pod on a SxS shotgun. In real life. Wow

I just want to point out that the pic I found isn't mine. Also note that the owner of that SxS did a bit of sawing off of the barrel. :)
 
Side by side does offer a less complicated manual of arms for the less inclined in one's household, (much like the revolver compared to semiautos). It also offers an instant choice of chokes and/or loads, (slug or shot). All other things being equal it is shorter and handier than either a pump or a semiauto. And whether or not it really exist, if the intimidation value of looking down one 12 bore barrel is a factor, how much more so then looking down two?

As an aside does anyone here other than me remember an interview that Norman Schwarzkopf did during Gulf War I where the camera showed, then focused on a long gun he had leaning in the corner of his headquarters bedroom; and the conversation between him and the reporter concerning that same gun?

P.S. I'm not sure I like all the "tac-ti-cool" involved in that particular gun (it too offends my more classic sensibilities), though the light makes quite a bit of sense considering the intent and purpose of the gun.

I do.
 
Hey MrPeter, I just recently purchased a Stoeger DD from Turners and I can honestly say it is a nice piece of work overall, The tac rails are cool looking but the only one I would use is the bottom for attaching a flashlight, I did not even bother to put the top one on because like everyone else said there simply was no use for it, if you look at Stoegers set up on their page or on youtube they have a scope on it, I think that is ridiculious I agree with ArmedBear that spending all that dough on useless gadgets is definetly pointless if you don't know how to shoot the gun you own LOL. Other than that its a BAD ASS Gauge and I spent about $502 which includes DROS fees but I'm sure you can find it cheaper maybe out your way since I'm from "Never gets cool guns Cali". I say the Stoeger DD has an old school look with a new school twist and the stock is solid and not hallow so if two shots don't work you can always club a man LOL, Kudos to everyone on here for posting up great opinions, facts and etc. Belated happy new years to all on here. Does anyone out there have an opinion on the Walther P22? I am considering it as a good size gun and caliber for teaching my child to shoot? any opinions would be great thanks again and see you in the threads.

That gauge looks like its ready for action in all various types of terrains!!! LOL Stoeger DD's are the sh*t!!!! how much you spend for all those accessories?
 
i didn't realize it was for sale in the US it was advertized in a few magazines around here, where we aren't allowed a pump action shotgun without a special licence. so in that sense this would be the next best thing.

however given it's title Stoeger Double Defense. it's surpising its available or titled as such here, because home defence or self defence is not a legal reason to own a gun in australia, so if you put that down in the permit application it would be rejected.
