Love my 1200. Pretty much the same as a 1300 but a little heavier and I think the 1300 can use 3" shells. 1200 is limited to 2 3/4" or at least my 1200 is 2 3/4" only.

I carried a Winchester 1200 Defender in my cruiser for 24 years with the Sheriff's Office, and never felt under gunned. I always qualified 100% with it every time, and I was impressed with the very tight double ought buck pattern. The only difference I see between your 1300, and my 1200 is mine was blued, and the 1300 appears parkerized.

Great guns! I have an old 870 that works wet or dry or muddy, It also has functioned as a paddle, crutch, pry bar and is like the Timex of old, takes a ticking, keeps on ticking. Reliability is the greatest characteristic of a pump.

[@TheodoricFriede]

I remember being with my father at a gun store when he bought one of these in California. I was probably 12 or 13. When he passed away I inherited it. I'd by lying if i said it was my favorite shotgun, but I wouldn't get rid of it for the world.

[@hickok45]

Yours is a thousand times more valuable than mine. Hope you have a good gun safe for it. That's cool to still have it, along with the memory of being with your father when he bought it, especially since it's not a bad shotgun. Great fun to shoot.

[@TheWabbit]

I have one of the 80s 1300 I bought new, actually my first new Shotgun. People either love or hate the 1300 because of the way the action releases when you fire a round, just from the recoil you're halfway into pumping the next round in. Take care all!

I got a 1300 Defender from my grandpa when he passed away. Mine came equipped with a pistol grip. I shot it like that once before swapping it out for an adjustable stock. Great gun.

[@flippedoutkyrii]

Fell in love with this gun when I first played Max Payne, as it was the main shotgun in the game. Great to see it on the range today!

A model 1300 Defender has been my duty shotgun for about 30 years. You wouldn't recognize it anymore with a tac light, rifle sights, plastic furniture, side saddle, and a single point sling. But it's the same trusty old Winchester.

[@troyd7464]

10 million rounds and he still gets excited. Love your show man

[@sisleymichael]

I picked up a beat up, un-loved 870 about 10 years ago at a pawn store for a song. It had scratches, gouges in the wood, you name it. Mechanics were fin. 12ga. I did zero restore on it. Cleaned it thotoughly, tested it, and made it my dedicated Turkey gun. Ordered a barrel for same purpose. If it gets rained on, dirty, scratched, I drive on. After cleaning each time, a light coat of oil on the metal areas and put it away. I also use the gun with a 28" barrel for dove hunting here in Tx. Seem to use it more than my fancier shotguns.

If I had only one shotgun it would be a Winchester 1300 Field and deer combo. One barrel for small game, fowl, and turkey with interchangeable Winchokes. And a smooth bore deer barrel with iron sights. Also the receiver comes drilled and tapped for a scope. Great home defender too. Boy! Am I lucky to have one! And it's made in USA 🇺🇸

Thanks for showing the world that this is an honest recreation for anybody with a passion for the quality engineering and skill acquisition. Keep on.

[@ratlips4363]

I still have my 1300. One of the smoothest factory pumps out there...still. No modifications needed other than maybe a fiberoptic sight to replace the brass beebee

[@SpontaneousSubstance.]

Great vid hickok. I am also a retired LE officer and can Remember when our patrol cars were outfitted with these, having upgraded from the ole mossbergs. Not sure if either had issues as I remember both being “patrol duty reliable” but the 1300s did shoot slugs with a tighter group then the mossbergs. I remember the entire department when outfitted with the 1300s had improved accuracy scores during qualifying and recertification and the loads were the same. I believe we carried Remington slug loads 2 3/4” and some guys had the riot version which were ready to rock with 00 buck. Many fun memories. SJ

I guess I need an 870? I've shot Winchester pumps since I was 13. My first pumpgun was a Winchester T120 Ranger, vent rib 28" modified choke. I DID NOT miss at 50 - 65 yards. Held two - ish inches high for 75 - 100. I have no reason to lie. I'm now 52, have owned model 12s, 1200s, and 1300s. NEVER a problem, but every gun tuber I consider experienced, says something to the effect of, "not the best built shotgun...they have issues..." Like I say, I'm 52, and still have that Ranger 120 I got for Christmas at 13. Think I'll just hang on to my first Winchester AND all its supposed issues.

[@SynthiaVan]

I got one of these for nothin - came through the shop missing parts, needing a lot of work. Guy gave up on it, so I adopted it. Stripped it, got new parts, fixed it up nice, and now it's like butter. Love my 1300 Defender. Just want to carve a new stock, maybe a bird's head.

I live in Somerset. I had an old Winchester 1200 defender I bought in 1986 when I came home from basic training and AIT. I loved that gun, it just fit! Killed plenty of rabbits and quail, missed my first buck I ever shot at, and 2 or 3 grouse. I lost it on a hunting trip, worried about my bird dog and left it in the Daniel Boone Forest. Got home and realized what I did, went back and it was gone!!!! Somebody got a wonderful weapon that day for free. Never forgiven myself for it! Determined to find me another, may have to settle for a 1300 but they are pretty much the same.

I really enjoy the slug fest videos, you can see the slug in the air all the way to the target. I can also appreciate the point of aim being off on that particular gun. Most of my guns have the same problem. If not the gun, it's always something else having a negative impact on my shooting. It's to cold, to hot, to dark, to bright, etc. Let's face it, when it comes to my accuracy on a given day, there's a multitude of variables working against me :-)

I accidently found one of the earlier Remington 870 Express in 3" magnum in 1987. I have killed more geese and ducks with that shotgun than I can count. I bought a rifled Hastings barrel for this shotgun for deer in Ohio. This past year all three grandsons killed their deer with that old 870. I think the Win 1300 and Rem 870 are the most used and most dependable weapons ever made to be used for grouse up to bears.
