Skip the current 870 for now. QC is shite on them.
Mossberg 500 or a 590A1 for the USMC version if you're willing to spend a few more $$$.
Maverick 88 if you want the cheaper version. These are American made.
And older used 870 would be ok, mine was made in the 50's.
Used Ithaca 37s can be had for decent money.
Winchester 1300 is good but I have no experience with one.
If you want super short but no hassle and also like the space gun look the Kel-Tec KS7 is cool.
I would avoid anything that only has a pistol grip with no stock, also known as PGO. I'd also stay away from the Mossberg shockwave & the Remington TAC14.
You can go even cheaper if you're ok with Turkish or Chinese made shotguns.
Thanks! Why avoid the no-stocks? I just want something to blast a nigger as he's crawling thru my window...and it must be made in USA.
They are very difficult to shoot accurately. Opposite of popular belief you can miss with a shotgun, especially at hallway distance. Pellet spread is much tighter than most think and you'll probably be using 00-Buckshot with 9 pellets in it. PGO shotguns can also really damage your wrists. You'll want a stock. It's about being effective more than looking cool. I'm pretty sure the cheapest NEW US made shotty you can get would be the maverick 88. Otherwise the Mossberg 500 is probably an all around safe bet. If used is ok your market opens way up.
Don't rule out some of the Berettas & Benellis. They make damn nice guns.
A lot of it is going to come down to how much you want to spend.
This dude is right. Pistol grips are dumb on a shotty. They kick like a fuckin mule and you will lose control or break your wrist. Short barrel short stock pump action. The noise is a deterrent
Thanks, kinda what I figured. I live in a nice area, but it's isolated. There was a nigger on the run in the woods last week, they finally caught his ass. If he'd'a come thru my window, I would have thrown my cat at him. I want something with a bit more ass-pucker factor...I think that just having a shotgun pointed at you is already gonna end any escalation, unless the nigger is high as sheeeit..
There are a lot of great Turkish guns out there. Go pump only on those. I own a 1300 I use for clays. Do very well with it even amongst better shooters with better guns. It’s a 28 inch though.
From what I've seen most of the Turkish, and chicom, shotguns are Rem 870 derived. If one were to go that route I definitely recommend having it in your hands before you drop a dime. DON'T BUY A CHINK/TURK SHOTGUN SIGHT UNSEEN.
Idk about China, I would avoid, but the Turks have a very long history of being fine arms makers, it’s in their blood, like whiskey to Americans. I’m not kidding, look it up. I don’t care for it myself, but I might buy one if it’s the only thing available. Two names come to mind; Citadel and Dickenson.
