[Clinging Bitterly]

The shotgun will provide some comfort if home invasion is a concern, and when you're out for fun they have a nice BOOM and make big holes in stuff. And thankfully the two most popular pump gun models are not terribly expensive. One of our local discount store chains often carries the basic Mossberg 500 defender model for just $200 - and it comes with both the standard length and 18-1/2" barrels. The Reminton 870 Express is usually about the same price. Either one you can modify or accessorize in seemingly endless combinations.

Something like this is still on my wish list. I don't want to be loaded down with a lot of extras but I do want to have a breacher nozzle. And I'd probably add a sling and some kind of holder for extra rounds.

oh i would love to own a pump action again!!! but unfortunately they are now illegal here (thanks to stupid politicians) so i´m stuck with the semi auto shotguns here (they are not as “dangerous” if you believe politicians ;-) like the pump actions...) weird politicians weird laws ;-)

Id have to have a stock for mine.

See that thing on the front. Its used for door breaching.

Load the scattergun with a frangible rifled slug, shoot it into the hinge, and it opens the door...like magic.
