The Legacy Escort 12 ga. pump is on sale for $199 at a local store. Seems like a good deal.

[umgud]

Legacy seems to have a good rep with their rifles. Not familiar with their shotties.

I keep a Mossberg 20 inch pump with 8rnd capacity for HD.

[Viking2002]

Ooooo. I was looking at the Interstate Arms Defender, but I just bookmarked this one.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I’d look for a good used Remington 870 first.

[MrPiper]

Do any Freepers have any experience with a Legacy Escort?

Sounds like it cost about the same as a Maverick 88. Same as a Mossberg 500 w/o the shine. Why be a test pilot? Mossberg is tried and true.

Winchester 12 is a good pump...used to be reasonable price!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Benelli. The very best in shotguns.

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

I like the Mossberg model 88 myself,,,

Holds 8 2 3/4” or 6 3” 12 ga.,,,

Points great...

I'm quite fond of my Mossberg 590A1 special purpose. Normally I prefer an 18.5" like the one your are considering, but 8+1 capacity with 4 stored in the buttstock and 4 in a side saddle is a hoot when you feel like throwing a large quantity of 00 buck down range.

Mossberg and Remington 870 are a good idea for experienced, get a double barrel for inexperienced with firearms.

Use #4 shot to prevent overpenetration of walls. I always advocate using a laser/light combo attachment for home defense firearms since break-ins can happen at night.

Mossberg 590S.

You can get a pump Remington or Mossberg for around $250-300 at a gun show. If you decide later to upgrade it would probably be easier to sell at a reasonable price. Mossberg drills and taps their receivers for optics, which is a plus for night-time HD.

Pump shotguns are usually reliable regardless.

[fish hawk]

Any 12 ga. shotgun will do. What ever you can get a good deal on. It's only going to take one shot to kill or send the culprit running and messing his pants.

[AFreeBird]

Mossberg.

I carried an Ithaca model 37 for 22 years, they’re rock solid and have one of the smoothest actions out there. They remind me of the old model 12 Winchesters for smooth actions and they can be carried by either a righty or a lefty due to they’re ejecting out the bottom.

Go to Wal Mart.
Buy a cheep Remington 870. Cheeper the better
Then go to Cheeper than dirt.
But an 18 inch barrel and a pistol grip.
Two screws, and you’ve got one hell of a home protection system.
I personally use slug, centurion, slug centurion in it.
Centurion is a large ball surrounded by eight smaller ones.
Devestating.
All ya gots to do is chamber a round and watch a bad guy freeze or crap.
If not, start firing.

[tumblindice]

Is that the Chinese shotgun imported by Century International? (The WASR people.)
I bought a Mossy `Maverick’ because the safety is on the trigger-guard and I can use the Advanced Technology topfolding stock with it.
But what I recall hearing of the Century gun was good

Around here a Remington 870 can be had for around $250 new. Tried, true and good enough for the US Military.
