What shotgun should I buy?

[SmokinwithWilly]

Mossberg "Chainsaw" 500

For home defense, might help hold on a little better with the extra grip, and has a rail for adding a seriously bright flashlight to blind someone.

or this 

 

But you'll need a class 3 license for one of these

More protection than hunting?

We had a Webley & Scott Tactical .12 gauge in one of our raffles last weekend. Not a bad looking gun for around $500.00.

I have thought about a getting a Mossberg Mariner (the 500 in Nickel) several times over the years, but just haven't done it.

The Remington is tried and true.

My opinion go Mossberg in whichever flavor you decide.  Go Benelli if you can afford to.  As another option check out Winchester only as an example http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/11-0138026

After looking at the quality of " American " made firearms go to poo in the last 20 years, I'd  opt for a Benelli in the $ 1000 - $ 2000 range.

I have a Mossberg 500 Persuader and it's a very fun gun to shoot.

I prefer the tactical model for home defense simply because the wife feels more comfortable shooting from the waist or hip. The Benelli pistol grip is removable and it becomes a standard stock. I also prefer the tactical models because most of them also make a little shorter barrel, which is very good for inside the home.

 

The Navy was using full size Remingtons for a long time on ships and they were a bitch going through hatches and narrow opening. The submarines had it right all along when they began using tactical style shotguns in their much tighter quarters. The surface Navy didn't get there for another 10 years.

 

The Navy now uses the Benelli M4 Super 90 12ga JSCS (Joint Service Combat Shotgun)

This one's pretty badass.  It's double barrel, and has a top mounted ammo rail.

Any recommendation? I was thinking Remington 870 Express. I almost bought it last weekend but decided to consult huddle first.

I have one, and it's amazing! I recommend you utilizing YouTube to watch some videos. You will not regret this purchase. Shoots 2 3/4, 3, and 3 1/2 inch shells interchangeably.
