Guys, if you don't already have a really bad arse shottie..

[Sgt Nambu]

Personaly;
It's not that I don't appreciate the above shotgun, I certainly would not kick it outa bed! I just would not buy one because over the decades I have been quite happy with my M-37/M-12/ M-870 pumps.
I have all that muscle memory locked down and at my age,,,frankly I may gain wisdom, but I ain't gaining speed.
I don't think a slicker shotgun will make the difference it would have a few decades ago.

You could buy a M37/M12 (ok M1200 etc.) and a M870 for the price of the above!

I'm very fast with a 500.. but even faster with the FN

I miss my saiga... Traded it for a glock, If there's one gun that I truely regret selling its my saiga. With so many interchangeable parts and easy take down I must own another some day. All of FN's equipment seems to get awesome reviews but replacing parts seems problematic.

That would be "without" a disconnecter people.

The Mod 12 has a disconnecter.

I own more shotguns than any one man probably should beberius, and I'd put the Saiga up against any of them

I don't think this thread should be about which shotty should rule them all but if it's a flame match "we" want then flame away! (in the end a shotty is just a shotty, one sweet boom at a time!)

I love my Benelli M4, though I admit it was expensive and there seems to be a learning curve when comes to the operation.

 

[erudne]

OK then:
Frankly speaking Sans Zombie hordes a pump is as good as a semi every day, It's equal to spray and pray any day, (I refuse to get into ryming slang this late at night!)

FN Self-Loading Police Shotgun (SLP) - BOOM STICK - YouTube

With full house loads I can unleash mine at least 150% that fast, on target at 15 yards

 

[salmonriverjohn]

Well Blitz, no offence but it's the first one that really counts, and at possibly ten times the cost or more it's hard for some to justify a gain of 50% for that much bang for the buck,, so to speak.

 

[Velzey]

I can shoot my FN Police pump faster than that, and all while wearing my flip flops..

Wow! Are those the flip flops with the brass deflectors?

 

[Kruel J]

I'm still laughing at the term "shottie"......

Oh, wait! Now I remember!

My double barrel "shottie" was compared to a "stick" and good for those of us that are broke.

The only use for them is in a double barrel for sensitive shooters and a double barrel is not a good choice for home defense. If you are broke then OK, better than a sharp stick

And I would love to know how my double barrel doesn't fit in this category.......

The 12 GA shotgun is unsurpassed in home defense. The WW1 Germans wanted them banned they were so horrified at their effect

I understand.. for most daily shoots it's not an issue..but for the planet of the apes uprising it may mean life and death

Because 4 home invaders are going to possibly wreck your day

 

[salmonriverjohn]

I still like the ability to be able to slap in a five or ten round magazine into the Saiga-12 over the tube if a SHTF issue occurs. 5 or 10 away, and it's batter up, another 5 or ten on deck ready to go. Much faster rate of fire IMO.

There is nothing better than the gentile discussion of the finer points of shottys, as they apply to the coming zombpoclypse, in front of a rousing fire, while holding a large snifter of 24YO Islay Scotch to one's nose and inhaling deeply. While waiting for da hookas
