If someone breaks into ur house the easiest way to scare the shit out of them is by pumping the 12 gauge

the best/scariest sound ever

lol

I have had a 870 for about 13 years now with no broken pin. Great gun for the price. I now shoot a Beretta over/under for skeet, trap, 5 stand and sporting clays. Another great gun but very expensive.


I would much rather have the 1100 for hunting because it is an auto and will not have as much recoil. My 870 kicks like a mule and my buddies 1100 is so much nicer to shoot.

The 1100 will be around $200-$250 more. You can get the 870 for $250 most anywhere and the Mossburg 500 for $200 most anywhere.

The nice thing about both the 870 and 500 is that they sell quite a few accessories for both of them to use in home deffense and hunting. I would prefer a pump if I was going to use it for home deffense.

Yes, get a 12ga.

Thanks, good info. I am pretty sure I want to go the cheap route for now, as this will be my first shotgun (and first real gun for that matter) and I want to wait to know what my shooting habits will be before i look into spending considerably more, although im sure that i will eventually get an auto. Theres a sale at dicks this week in my area where I can get an 870 express 12 ga for 235 i think. Looks to be the best route for me. And yes, the accessories are definitely a big plus.
