Tell us about your home defense shotgun?

[Tazman308]

Remington TAc13, with flashlight/ laser., side saddle holds 7 more. Pistol gripped with 13" barrel makes this pretty handy. My wife has one also. Loaded with 00. No recoil and holds 5 or 7. Showed it to my local police force when we called in a home invasion attempt. Would have cut them in half but the door held. I never felt under gunned, didn't grab my AR pistol although suppressed, my M14, or Vang Comp 870.

No recoil?

 

[Tazman308]

Zero. Well almost. Shoot slugs one handed. Dump the magazine. Surprising.

No recoil?

The Tac-13 is renowned for its low recoil. I understand they don't make them anymore. Used examples go for $1000 or more.

When Remington went bankrupt, the firearm disappeared. I have seen them being listed on Gunbroker for $2500. I think I paid $850 when I bought 3. One for me, wife and son. I just couldn't find anything better for home security. Also work great when in camper or motorhome.

I believe there is a Turkish nock off for around $700.

I wish I'd known about them before they went away. Sooner or later I'll probably get fed up and pick up one for $1k. I love my Tac-14 Hardwood. Low recoil 00 buck shoots very softly in it, but with a semi-auto I could up it to full power buckshot.

I want an m4 just because it looks awsome..I should probably get around to buying something though one of these days

The ol SGL12-09 has been a trusty foreign mistress for quite a while. Usually packing 8+1, she plays a pretty fast game of buck buck goose.

Nice! Does it use standard saiga mags? I love the 12 gauge drums despite being made by promag (which I normally despise ha ha). Very compact and can use 10 round stick mags for reloads. I've found the 20 round promag drums to work just fine also. 20 and 12 round drums shown on lynx 12:

12g, 18.5" NEF Pardner Pump.
Cheap Chinese shotgun from Bimart.

Shocked at how well it's held up. I own 2.
Got a barrel adapter (basically a pipe sleeve) so I can use REM870 barrels.
Picked up a cheap Chinese 28" barrel from CDNN with chokes. Works really well. No signs of abnormal wear basically it's only the barrel ring that is different. I suppose I could cut and weld the ring in the correct position to fit the Pardner should I ever desire to.

Yes standard Saiga. I have used AGP and a couple others that have functioned flawlessly over the years.

Have heard bad things about sgm 25 round drums. Cant seem to find 30 round drums available anywhere (.410 I think i saw but not 12 gauge). Rate of fire (for accurate fire I mean) is 300 rpm so 20 round drum takes 4 seconds for all shots on target. Thats a pile of lead!

Try Center Fire Systems. They for some reason found a boatload of Saiga parts both factory and aftermarket.. and now that the import ban has clipped the nuts of the Saiga market there is all this gear no one is snagging up.. I could have sworn I saw a drum or mags for a very fair price from them when I went on a massive Saiga .308 parts buying spree last year.

So it looks like it's promag.. was hoping in my minds eye it was the SGM drum. But they do have box magazines from them still.
and if your going to get the promag drum Gunnagwarehouse has it for 93.99 cheapest I could quickly find.

Promag makes a 30 rounder? Are you sure it's not .410? I have there 20s and 12 rounders and surprisingly never had an issue with them. Reasonably priced also.

Stoeger Coach Gun, 12 ga. 3". Loaded and supplemented with 00 Buck (except for a marked one, which is a copper slug: they won't be drivin' away, neither).

My Brother in Alaska put Africa-style Express Sights (front and rear, ivory bead and all) on his. Called it his "Fishin' Gun! I can fish closer to the Bears than the other guys!"

My Stoeger is balanced with a Stevens Single Shot .410 in the mud room (but that's for less wild animals).

I have a Stoeger Double Defense (Mad Max edition lol) and love that thing. Nice way to tell someone twice if they didn't hear you the first time.

You see the new mad max movie? Pretty good action movie. Crazy crazy vehicles.

I was eying that "sniper" Sks without a gas tube turning it into a bolt action.
I couldn't understand how the entire rifle would have survived (optic included) yet the gas tube succumbed to so much rust and damage that it was the single part that was tossed.

I would have liked it more if they used a yugo SKS and switched the gas valve on and off for "long range"/suppressed shots or something of that nature so it made a little more sense.

I went in wanting to hate the second Mad Maxine but it wasn't quite as terrible as I thought it would be. It's dumb fun.. but still a decent mindless action movie. I liked the nod to the original road warrior where he is over looking the bluff watching the chaos down below while eating a can of something. That was fun.
