There is NO SUCH THING as a tactical shotgun. Only tactical shotgunners. There is no amount of black plastic, whizbang gadgetry that you can affix to you shotgun that will "buy you skill".
It is the amount of rounds fired down the tube that builds proficiency with a shotgun. I've seen folks with $1500 Benelli M4s miss the side of the proverbial barn and Jeebus help them if they ever found themselves in a firefight. On the flip side, I've seen a few hilljacks with a single shot H&R that excel in ventilating targets at < 50yards.
Get a reputable shotgun, with a fixed stock, that fits and fire a case (250rds) down the tube. Then decide what your shotgun needs.
tx for the advice. where's a good spot in the metro indy area to get shotgunner type practice. tx again.There is NO SUCH THING as a tactical shotgun. Only tactical shotgunners. There is no amount of black plastic, whizbang gadgetry that you can affix to you shotgun that will "buy you skill".

http://www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=103186I went the following route when I did my Tac SG.
- Moss 500
- Knoxx SpecOps Stock
- Light
- SideSaddle
Those are 2006 pics when I finish putting it together. It was fired a few times (less than 20 shells) before it was setup like that. I was living in CA at the time and it was very HARD to get any range time with it in CA.
Next addition to the collection is going to be a tactical shotgun. I like the mossberg line and price range. Saigas look cool, little more than I'd like to spend though.
Any general comments and advice appreciated.
Buy a Remington.
870s are great guns, but with the rounds that an average shooter puts down range in a lifetime, you won't (likely) retire a Mossberg or Remington.
Comes down to where you like your safety and slide release.
Personally, I own both Mossberg and Remington.
