My family has several Mossbergs and Mavericks and they are great. A fantastic buy, especially the Mavericks. The Mossberg semi auto is very good. I bought one with an 18" defense barrel and a 28" ported changeable choke barrel in a set on sale it and was about $450 a year ago.

I have a 28' barrel for it as well.

I love my double barrel 12 ga. 20" Stoeger Coach Gun.
I have 00 Buck. but I am going to No. 2, 3, 0r 4 Buck.
I like the idea of 2 guaranteed shots available...no iffs ands or butts. If that doesn't do the trick, its time for me to go.

M870 18" bbl.: Wilson Combat mag extension, follower & spring, WC oversized safety, Mesa Tactical shell holder, Specter 3-point sling
with shell holder, Remington police stocks.
Bottom: G37, G39.
Nice rig! Does anyone make an all metal trigger group for the 870?
Brownells has them: TRIGGER PLATE ASSEMBLY, POLICE, PARKERIZED. I'm about 85% sure that's the steel trigger assembly, but ask them before ordering. They also have factory three shot magazine extension.

With proper ammo the shotgun makes a bigger hole to let the life run out, simple as that.

No, they quit making the 1300 Marine shotguns which is a real shame. They are a very good shotgun.

Lot's of burglerie's here lately!!! I am thinking of getting the most family freindly weapon to keep in the house. I have a Wife and three littel kid's. Any suggestions?
Oilpants: with small children at home, I don't recommend keeping a loaded handgun around. No foolin'. Here's a reasonably priced, easily available 12 ga "house gun". The top one is just about perfect for a home defense gun. (I have the bottom one in a discontinued silver finish).Link:

You're kinda clumsy, and your wife has a temper? 8^O
In that case- Skip the gun. There are no "do-overs" with firearms. Really. Maybe a baseball bat if you must, but no gun of any kind- that's my advice.
Repeat: No gun.

If you're worried about having a gun in the house because of your wifes temper, I'd suggest getting the gun.
And ditching the wife...

Taurus Judge, meh.
I well known test of this gun from the Box O' Truth site shows that .410 is almost worthless against an attacker. And it is a Taurus. No thanks, I'll stick to my 500 Mossberg for HD duties.
