I would recommend the mossberg 500 for reliability and versatility. The military issues versions of it.Indianagirl wrote:Good morning all, I would appreciate your input on a H & R Pardner 20 Gauge Compact pump.

I've got one of the NEF Pardner pumps, it's the 12 ga home defense version. (H&R and NEF are the same company) It's very nearly a direct clone of the Remington 870, which is the standard by which all other pump shotguns are measured.Indianagirl wrote:Good morning all, I would appreciate your input on a H & R Pardner 20 Gauge Compact pump.

A 22M revolver would be good!Old Savage wrote:Nath, I have both and I almost always use the 20 Gauge. And, she has thought of things I haven't about this and I am sure you will too. We did talk about the ability of the 22 or 38 to be effective with multiple rounds even though they might not be as convincing as a load of shot.
Other than the barrel, almost all the parts from the Pardner will interchange with the 870. The Pardner has a longer magazine tube and the barrel ring is located nearer to the muzzle.Hobie wrote:OS brings up a good point. If you have somebody who is VERY recoil sensitive (perhaps has a defibulator), untrained with handguns, etc. a Ruger 10-22 with the 25 rd mag might the ticket. But that wasn't the question, was it.
Now about the Pardner, we've sold so very few (I think 1 in 4 years) that I didn't think of it being an 870 copy BUT we've had several brought in for repair or to be returned to the factory, according to our gunsmith.
