As a former U.S. Marine, I worked with various types of shotguns. Shotguns are machines, and must be broken in, well maintained and actually used to remain effective. Find the correct load for your application and "shoot your gun"! All too often people buy a defensive weapon , buy a bunch of shells and stick it in a corner. Wrong answer! Shoot your gun, learn your gun, get familiar with its operation and maintenance. A lot of issues come from not knowing the nuances of the gun itself. Reviews are and can be very informative. But, nothing beats actually handling, firing and knowing how to properly put that weapon into use. Don't just buy something because someone else has it. (Especially a home defense weapon) Do your research, make your purchase and Practice, Practice, Practice! You may get only one chance in defending your home. Make sure that you have the right tools or tool to get you through the ordeal. And most of all practice, and rehearse the way you move and deploy that weapon. Mossberg 930SPX is my preferred home defense shotgun loaded with Hornady Critical Defense 00 buck. (1600 fps)

*A well made gun doesn't need to be "broken in". Any gun that requires the shooter to waste money on ammo to make it work properly is not a gun worth owning.*

Like others here have said, the Mossberg Maverick model 88 (Security variant)- synthetic FDE stock & slide- with the 20" barrel & 7+1 round tube magazine standard capacity is the most affordable and efficient choice I own. It works like a charm. And obviously there are other versions, barrel lengths, capacity, and one other stock/pump color of this shotgun that are just as desirable.

I love my Benelli Nova 550 pump action. That thing has been absolutely amazing and for $425 USD it was well worth it. My other shotgun is a Tokarev Tar 12 semi automatic AR platform design. It works best with 5 round mags although they do make ten and even a twenty round which is large and clumsy and I just think separate 5 rounders are best, but the gun functions perfectly even when it starts to heat up you just have to keep it well oiled like any firearm.

I bought a Takarov pump from pawn shop for less then $200 had a scope i took off and put on a stainless steel 22! Great deal, its like brand new!

[@mroilcat-b6x]

As far as I'm concerned, the best all around shotgun is the Remington 1100. If I ever want to use it again to kill game, I'll install the 24(?) inch barrel, but for years I've only used the 18.5 inch barrel. I also added an 8 round tube on it years ago. I got it in about 1972 and it has NEVER misfired or jammed, not even once. I only use 2 3/4 shells, No. 4 or 7 1/2 for game , or #4 buck or double "O" for anything with less than 4 legs that doesn't have wings. Absolutely, totally reliable: you just have to clean and lube it correctly (there's only one way to do it: correctly) and replace worn parts BEFORE it becomes a problem. Treat your shotgun as you would treat your expensive truck and don't wait for it to break down before getting out your tools. My grandfather told me when I was a wee little one that ALL mechanical devices should last a thousand years IF you take care of it properly. Of course he also told me "Never go swimmin' with bald headed women". Make of that what you will, but sho 'nuff, I never have gone swimming with any bald headed woman. Ever!!!

[@josephhiggins7216]

Grew up with an 870 20 guage. I used that gun for over 50 years till my torn up shoulder wouldn't let me pump it like I used to. My son has it now. He grew up with it, too. Had an 870 12 guage with a slug barrel till I sold it and bought an 1100. Got my dad's 20 guage Browning A5. Two Browning Remintons. Never had a failure of any kind with any of them. The shotgun is the most versatile firearm ever invented. I don't forsee myself in a situation where 5 rounds won't suffice.

I have an old Mossberg 190 Bolt Action. While it isn’t the most ideal gun for home defense. If my math is correct 2+1+16gauge=dead boogieman. Plus if you’re a fan of old fashion American made steel and wood furniture, then you’ll love these old gals. It’s very easy to use as the ergonomics are universal. Even back in the 50s Mossberg was putting the safety and magazine down the center of the gun. It’s only drawback for me is the ammo. 16ga is a little hard to come by, and 2+1. But a sleeve on the stock fixes that issue. And Mossberg designed the barrel to have a C-lect choke added to the barrel. And the barrel itself is ported from the factory already. Not to mention these guns are great if your budget is really tight. I picked mine up for about $150.

No real issues form it at this point.

Reliable once broken down, cleaned, and properly set with gas port and magazines. The key is correct high quality ammo, new brass, and settings. Small birdshot can cause issues due to low powder charge. Frame edges can be sharp, need some filing.

After unboxing I thoroughly cleaned it and re-lubed it. I had zero malfunctions during the initial 100 shells. It is the smoothest shooting shotgun I have ever used. You do know it has an adjustable gas system, right? You have to turn the knob to adjust for the shells you are firing although I have found that on setting "2" it cycles everything just fine... slugs, buckshot and 7.5 birdshot.

[@myfavoritemartian1]

I also bought a mag fed shotty. The mags were aluminum and followers were poly. When loaded the springs stacked and caused an issue. Part loaded worked well. They touched the bolt carrier when closing which killed the closing speed and caused partial chambering. I had to alter all 8 single stack mags to clear the bolt carrier and they work like magic! I then shortened a spacer in the mag cap and shortened the spring one coil to make 10 rds work well. You can do a lot with metal mags.

If you understand gas port settings on semi-auto shotguns, an individual has less problems. First, clean out the shipping grease from the port. Second, use proper ammo with high quality brass and correct powder charge preferably over 1350 fps. Third, use the correct port settings. Four, use factory designed magazines. Five, break in the shotgun with AT LEAST 200+ shells.

[@manguydude287]

doesn't the mossberg also feed from the tube mag? If that's the case, I don't see how box magazine capabilities are such an issue

[@panthermartin7784]

Lmfao, last goose season in a snow storm I watched a Maverick 88 be the only shotgun running 100% reliability when the gas operated 12's jammed up and froze over. Idk that cheap pump rocked all day long and mad a 16 year old extremely grinny.

[@stewartw.9151]

I had a Maverick 88 and it was fine in normal use. The only time I saw any problem was at the range when I fired 25 rounds of 00 in rapid order, reloading quickly 5 times. Towards the end of this exercise, the darn thing got so hot the brass of the shell expanded and locked in the chamber and it would not cycle. But then I forgave it, as who would need 20+ rounds of rapid fire and in what possible situation?

[@panthermartin7784]

@@stewartw.9151 Yes I know Mossburg Warranty has a fix for that actually, the chamber gets a polish to remedy the problem and the extractors are upgraded to 590 specs, works wonders.

Give me my Remington 870, any day.

[@dimensione_Automobili]

happy owner of a STF-12 for many years....never a problem with over 15k rounds fired at now

Different loads Different gas pressure.hints the piston driven. Jts has an adjustable gas block dial depending on the loads your shooting same as the ar platforms

Mossberg 590 20 inch / 9 shot /12 gauge , the best !!! The 590M probably doesn't shoot without magazine either, I maybe wrong , but it's a stupid idea anyways !!!!

[@FreeYourMind590]

Right

[@anamariaPA]

I’m throughly satisfied with my Mossberg 500 12 gauge (6+1) pump and (2) 1911 45 automatic pistols with 14 mag/clips …belt pouches and hip holster and an under arm holster….. Bear Archery 🏹 Grizzly recurve 60 lb and I made 48” inch long and 3/4 inch diameter (.75) caliber wood arrow….and yes they punched through foam blocks target 🎯….wooden dowels rods at hardware stores….. I did make some 60 inch ones also 😊

Interesting about the Fabarm, as the Tactical is the only pump gun they make. Wonder why they didn't just adapt one of their semi autos

[@voltekthecyborg7898]

I use a KelTec KS7 for home defense. And before anybody starts ragging on about Keltec: No, I did not have any malfunctions, and no, it did not explode

[@kimoldham3328]

Have my 110 year old model 12 and an 870. Neither has not filled my needs

[@JoelHorne-lj5px]

I was wondering why the Fostech Origin 12 didn't make your list. I bought mine a few years ago and have had failure to feed issues from then on. I have seen many vids on youtube with the same issues. Their recommendation was to send it to them for eval but at the price I paid I didn't want or trust that option.

[@carltaylor8166]

I have a Panzer ar12. Never had a problem

[@johnbrenner2877]

590 shockwave fits my needs.

[@kenparks3877]

A well broken in gun can be trusted. I had a spell of trouble and found the problem. A thosand rounds later, it's still dependable. I'll keep it, despite your opinion.

Calling someone an idiot is probably uncalled for.
