Getting ready for the elections .... ?

[rjohns94]

Yesterday, sig 226 model 25 with a sig adaptive carbine platform to play with, case of 9mm added to the ammo locker 9 mags total added to the locker and ccw holster ordered.
Today, Colt 901 adaptive carbine in .308 and 5.56, 10 mags each, case of ammo for each added to the locker.

Question: What is your defensive shotgun of choice?

870 used to be standard. Some choose the mossberg 500/590 platform. I use to use the Benelli super 90 with straight stock and extended mag tube. But what say you? Currently have a coach gun with rails and a light by the bed but going to up my game there.

Saiga....

Fast and reliable detachable magazines (and drums... )

Well my shotgun/s are going to be SxS or O/U . But then other then a couple single barrels and two bolt action rifled guns those are the only shotguns I have . But then a SxS 10 gauge with a slug in one barrel and 000 in the other barrel is rather formidable .

[6pt-sika]

Biggest thing I wanna buy BEFORE the election is around twenty more pounds of powder and perhaps 5000 CCI209's . Perhaps 10-20 bags of shot mostly #8 but I wouldn't mind a bag of 6's and four or five bags of 9's .

Stoeger M3K

Review in "Recoil" magazine compares it very favorably to the parent Benelli competition gun. And at ½ the price a bargain to boot. Add the extended magazine and you're set.

Where is the extended mag available from?

How 'bout from Midway... but the Nordic Components units for the Stoeger M3000 will fit, as the M3K is a variant from that hunting or sports model.

870 Tactical. ...8 +1 & 20 on the sling.....

Shotgun by the bed is an old Mossberg 500ATP 20 inch 8 shot that I got from a Pawn shop in 2001 for 100 bucks. It was an old police gun. On the bottom of the fore stock the number 177 is stamped in the wood, and on the right side of the action is stamped SGPD. It is a keeper.

This is why I like the Saiga - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKfO078KUJs

Mine feeds slugs and buckshot just fine, and as you can see, recoil is not at all distracting, even firing really fast.

I purchased a Mossberg 500 over 30 years ago, when I was in college; it was my first shotgun and all I could afford. That being said, it has been an excellent shotgun and I've always recommended it as a great and affordable general-purpose shotgun. However, for serious "social" work I'd go with the Remington 870 given the ability of that firearm to take an extension tube to hold more rounds; the 500 cannot.

Yep, I been dragging my feet about getting an AR (but I do have an AK 74, 5.45x39 and it's kinda cute, in a clunky way) and it's prolly gonna be hard finding one now. I just got 5 lbs of pistol powder in yesterday and I've kept an inventory of components handy, never running too low. Mebbe I'll look into a Century Arms AK 47 if an AR isn't available and at a "normal" price...

[jeepnik]

Pretty pedestrian. Franchi Model 48L 20 ga. It wears a 20" barrel for that purpose (switch to a longer barrel and my favorite upland game gun is back). Four in the mag, one in the chamber. If that won't deal with any expected situation I'm going to call in an airstrike, cuz few extra rounds likely won't do it either.

The Mossberg is available in a 9-shot magazine version, but if you have the 5-shot one you can't just 'upgrade'...

My 870 Express don't have one of those pointy things on the end, but it is kinda religious with the business end being kinda holy.

Was a time I learned how to use one of those pointy things. But as I age I realize I have no intention of getting that close to anything on which I would use one.

Now that's not to say I don't own ones that fit on things like my Scout/Squad, M1 carbine, M1 rifle and my AR. But, it will be a cold day in hades before I intentionally rely on one.

They ARE useful when you are outside in a muddy range area and there is nothing to lay the gun down on that isn't mucky; you can just poke the bayonet into the ground...

make sure your passport has ample time on it as well. I live 75 miles from an international border where I could seek asylum, as long as I have documentation.



unless I bone up on spanish

Passport is a non issue with me !

My go to is a standard wing master 870. I have a lot of confidence that it will go bang and as it is my skeet gun I handle it without having to think to hard about what I'm doing.
