I own a Remington 870 Express Mag 12 Gauge. The Home defense version. I love it. It never jams, holds 2-3/4" and 3" shells, its simple to break down and clean and it generally just looks and sounds badass. The sound of chambering a round is enough to make anyone evaluate what the hell they're thinking.

No, it's not a stupid statement. If you didn't question it's reliability, you wouldn't have asked for other peoples thoughts. If you question it's reliability, why would you pick it for home defense?

For hunting and other things, sure buy the copy.
For a go to gun in home defense, I'd pony up and buy something else.

I fully agree with what he is saying.Any firearm I may have to depend on to save my or my familys life is going to be a damn good one.
Personally I am a big fan of the Benelli M2 tatical and the Mossberg 930 in the JM Pro model.

You didn't. The reliability of cheaper guns were called into question earlier in the thread.

Guns to me are a lot of personal preference. Read reviews, research, and buy what you are comfortable with.

I hunt rabbit, turkey, and water fowl with the same 870 i have had since i was 16 (im almost 40) never had a problem with it. i dont know about a cheap knockoff though. If i remember correctly the 870 is pretty cheap already. maybe just spend a few extra $ and get the real deal.

[Slowbro]

Don't mean to thread jack but I have a 870 and am thinking about getting the ati folding stock. Does anyone have any experience with it?

And I couldn't agree more with you on that point. My sigma 40 to me feels better than my old sig40. Price isn't everything.

Can't find an 835 but I did find a 535 THUG. With a 22 inch barrel, it will do for defense quite nicely while still being a fine Turkey gun. Looked at a 535 ATS combo too, but not a lot of need for the 28" waterfowl barrel. Probably going to wait for the gun show next month to see if I can find a good deal on a used 870.

I want this puppy for the home defence/zombie attack lol. Hella lot shorter and loaded up more than my 870, yep, me too PUNKFAN had it since teenage years and now 45, still shoots like new.

[fordsuperduty]

Keltec ksg is the most ba looking shotgun out perfectly legal with a barrel length at 18.5 inches and still tactically short at 26 inches




Oh yeah bring on the zombies or anyone else

To each his own keltec pistols malfunction yes but it's kind of hard to f@$( up a pump shotgun

[RiceBurner]

Watch the video BeachBum left a link to. I had 2 mossberg 500's that would drop shells out the bottom every 5-6 pumps. Just saying, not hating.

[fordsuperduty]

That is part of the design spent shells exit out the bottom just like a p90 and most other bullpup designs makes it ambidextrous not malfunctioning

Akdal mka 1919........ Ran it worked fine. Modded the piss out of it and Cerakote and I love it. A lot lighter than my siaga12

I have it on my main go-to gun. I love it, but the only downside to it in my opinion is if you ever wanted to mount optics on the receiver, that said, I still though it was the best option for me over other options. I wanted a folding stock, but never cared for the side folders, they just seemed odd to perform to me. With the stock folded, its nice and small, but when I want to shoot at the range, the stock unfolded works for me. There is no recoil pad, so it'll give you a workout, but if push comes to shove, I hope I never have to use it, yet use it enough to care about no having a recoil pad. Plus, if I remember correctly, it wasn't very expensive and I do remember installation was a breeze.

This is our new Mossberg model 500 Cruzer Tactical , we like it and it is our new home protection device .
We decided this would be a better choice than any of the hand guns we have as an intruder spoiler .
