Home Defense - Budget Shotguns - which one?
unfy:
I was happy with my Mossberg 500A Persuader. Pump 12. Pistol grip only. Was one of the firearms stolen in the burglary ._.
In the apartment they were taken from - I had specifically chosen pistol grip only with an 18.5" barrel so that it was easier to fit through the narrow doorways of that place.
Would I suggest pistol grip only for a normal place ? No. PGO takes time to learn how to shoot - and I have a scar from a split lip as a testament :D
I loved that shotty though.

That would be my choice also.

Winchester sxp. iirc, guns unlimited had them for around $250. It's way smoother than any 870, 590, 500, or Nova/Supernova I've used.
Thanke:
Remington 870 Compact 20 gauge
13" LOP and 21" ribbed barrel
Add a mag extension just in case
Wife likes the shorter LOP & I can manage
I want to say it is under $350? does that sound right?

Thanks for the good input & suggestions. Having done more research, I'm now leaning toward picking up an old/used 870, cutting the barrel down to 18.5, adding some form of sight, and putting on a modern tactical stock, grip & forearm. Brownells has a ZOMBIE HUNTER KICKLITE TACTICAL STOCK for $80. I sort of cringe at the thought of taking a perfectly good long barrel and chopping it down though. Looks like I'll be at the Lincoln gun show later this month scrounging for bargain table beauties. A Win 1200/1300 would work too.
Looking at the new budget priced models out there most all are either made in Turkey or China....some with old traditional manufacturer names (total blasphemy). I have a hard time knowingly buying anything made in China. Turkish weapons on the other hand, from what I hear, are fairly decent. Can't beat US made though, even if its old.
