Where ever they go there they are!

[@doughesson]

I used to have a 20 gauge Mossberg 500 Camper with a pistol grip. I shot it in one session & decided that was a nonstarter so I ordered a pistol grip shoulder stock. I didn't like that much better so I ordered a conventional shoulder stock (Choate Machine &Tool) which I liked much better. That was my HD gun & my hunting shotgun with a longer barrel.I even qualified with it for my Tennessee armed security guard license. The point is to make sure that the shotgun fits you & other potential users & fits the mission that you'd want to use it for.

[@bigfuzzy84]

You can also use your support hand thumb pointing forward with short shotguns to aim. The rounds go exactly where your thumb points

Myself, I like the Winchester Mod. 10 and the less expensive J.C. Higgins pump guns because both can 'slam-fire' when needed. For those who don't know what 'slam-fire means, it's that once the first shot is fired, if you hold the trigger back, it will fire again as soon as a round is chambered after cycling the action.

[@ccoryell95]

It all depends on how close your neighbors are, and how many innocent people are in the house. If your neighbors are real close or you have few safe directions to shoot, then high-brass #4 birdshot is a good way to go. If you have virtually no neighbors or cohabitors, then run buckshot or slugs. If you have neighbors and no cohabitors, use #4 busckshot (it'll rip through interior walls, but is less likely to exit exterior walls).

[@jimlawrence344]

Remington 11-87 semi Auto, 12-gauge 3in. you never have to clean it aside from the barrel and got pine needles in the action from years ago and it eject the cheapest crappiest shells or the most expensive up to 3 in, with the smoothbore dear barrel with iron sights you can put a slug into a 2 inch bullseye at a hundred yards free-standing no problem over and over again until your shoulder can't take it no more. The thing is a beast it's never rejected any ammunition no matter how cheap and how little powder they all ejected every time on time and the thing was never cleaned except for the barrel. When I did finally clean the action and the back where the slider goes it was just full of dirt soil pine needles, and I remembered that it would had been several years since I haven't been anywhere near the Pines on a on a rabbit hunts but that was a long time ago oh, so that's all I know how old. Debris was, the one I got is a left-hander but I had imagined the right-hander is just the exact same stuff it's just the other way around. There is no shotgun like it, that Benelli or whatever you got to use expensive loads or loads with lots of powder or they're just not going to eject all the time. Got a 16 in single break action from Brazil 410 sort of like Mad Max smaller version LOL scattergun indeed, the number six is 7-Elevens they just go all over the place on the high side but if you compensate for it not bad for gross rabbits 40 yards. But I love my Remington 11-87 all day long. I love that Mossberg pistol grip pump here using there, I would like that as a side arm LOL

[@Nakanokalronin]

I wish ammo manufactures would make 100% brass hull 00 Buck ammo a regular item in their lineup. I don't use shotguns for home defense since I've had the end of plastic shotshell hulls deform when loaded for more than a few months. People will say to shoot what's in the gun and replace it with new ammo, but right now ammo is still scarce or expensive, not all of us live somewhere you can shoot shotguns on a regular basis and some people just want to keep one gun loaded for defense and use a similar one for the range.

I have to admit that I'm NOT a fan of any pistol-grip combat stock mounted on a Mossberg pump-action. It makes the tang-mounted safety very difficult and unnatural to get to. I ran a Choate stock on a 500 for a few years, but finally ended up putting the factory stock back on it due to this.
