With one in the tube my Mossberg gives me six chances to get it right. Not what I’d like to grab if I had four intruders.

That's one of the reasons I'm looking into purchasing a magazine fed semi-auto shotgun. Some take ten round mags, some even more.

I would so love to have a Russian Saiga 12 ga but I don’t think they’re legal in CO anymore. No mags over 15 are no matter what make or model now. $&^%#$&^#

They’ve become rather expensive too. An easier problem to overcome.

You bottom out 6 from a shotgun in a dark house and need more. It ain’t burglary or a break in, its an invasion. I’m pretty lucky, where I live nearly everyone owns guns and a dog or two. Less mischief that way.

Correct.

It came with a 30” full choke barrel, as well as a 26” IC barrel.

All Parkerized.

Problem was that this was advent of “ALL STEEL” for waterfowl, and S&W didn’t plan for it. Their barrels were blowing up due to steel shot tight strings.

My gun guy told me about it before I killed myself and opened it up to a IC/SKEET choke and opened the forcing cone to allow steel to pass safely.

That is a true story. But I've always liked to over-prepare. There might be an invasion. :-)

“...tennis ball”

Which is why I favor the blunderbuss with revolving cylinder for home defense.

Nice thing about the mosseburg 500 is it’s like “a hillybilly’s Barbie Doll”. You can dress her up anyway you like. Lots of stuff to modify it with and crimson trace makes a saddle style laser for them. I’ve got three. The first dad got at 16 for painting mom beauty shop. The last was one I got for $40. It needed a new rear stock. They are priced reasonable and are ageless. Parts are easy to get from mosseburg. Might want to save you S&W.

An acquaintance owns a Spas-12

I send him a Christmas card every year.

He will never sell it to me.

My great nephews will inherit most of my stuff. Especially my S&W gauge.

Beautiful dark oiled wood!

When his wife divorced him, I told her to try to get it in the settlement.

No dice.

I have considered mounting a swivel gun on my deck railing.
You can load them with just about anything.

But you've got to shoot 'em while they're still out in the yard and the DA is going to ask a lot of questions about that ... and the neighbors will whine.

Never give up! There’s a crack somewhere and you can finagle a wedge into it. :-)

Go to YouTube and search on ‘semi-auto shotguns’. You’ll get a ton of results.

You don’t have to justify it. You were meant to own it! :-)
