Tactical shotguns

Anyone else have a tactical shotgun that they keep around for home defense? I know lots of guys have their ARs but I can't be the only one who relies on their shotgun.

Just bought this today and it's going to be getting some goodies in the mail this week.

 

I've got plenty of tactical shotguns but they're one of the last of my weapons I'd go to for home defense.

 

Come to think of it.. I HAVE THAT EXACT GUN.

 

Because cool dudes do that?

 

I've got a slamfire ithaca 37 that is similar to tactical, 18.5 inch barrel. a lot of lead down range quickly

 

OP, I keep a Rem 870 with a Sage International Stock at the ready in my apt. I also have at least 2 handguns in the room. My dog is the alarm.

 

I have a benelli m4 semi auto shotgun.. Thing is a beast!

 

I have quite a few guns at my disposal, but a 20 year old, $150 Mossberg Maverick is the one within reach at night. Literally thousands of rounds through it without a failure. If someone ignores the alarm system and the barking dogs, they are not getting through the bedroom door.

 

I have that with the factory collapsable buttstock.

 

I just got a Winchester SXP I'm ordering a bunch of goodies for. Awesome gun for the money.

 

Another Mossberg 88 here. Went "tactical" with it so I could fit the length of pull for the lady, and take some of the recoil out of it.



Was being cheap when I put it together. In retrospect I should have gotten this.

 

Saiga 12 over here

 

Kel tec KSG


and my remington 870 Wingmaster. adjudtable stock, rails and fore grip

 

Wincherster 1300 defender, not "tactical" looking, but 8 rounds of 00 buck ought to work for most things around the house.
And my semi-auto hunting gun, stoeger m3500

 

Looks like there is some love for a tac shotgun on here.

 

Here is my semi auto Saiga 12. Still have a few more mods to complete it but its a great shotgun for home defense.

 

Earlier when I said I own several 'tactical shotguns' I almost put it in quotes (like I did here) as I too feel it's a loose term but know what the OP meant and also feel as though it's an easier to visualize what a tactical shotgun is than an assault rifle.

Most 'tactical shotguns' have higher capacity capability, rails for accessories, shorter barrels for easier maneuverability, etc. To most who grew up in the country (myself included) a shotgun isn't what you will see in a thread like this. They're generally wood furniture with lower capacity (legal for hunting) and longer barrels with chokes adjusted for various game. A tactical shotgun doesn't make a very good goose/duck gun. I get the designation difference.
