I disagree. I have seen plenty of S&W revolvers at the range that couldn't close their cylinder because the gun was dirty and had trouble putting cartridges in as well because the revolver was/got dirty/fouled. IMO, revolvers require MORE cleaning than semi-auto's and I bought my HK and FN so I wouldn't have to clean them.

In addition to the pistol grip (which means I need to practice some more once I get it :fire ), it's got a recoil compensation system built in that is supposed to make even magnum loads incredibly easy on your shoulder. Cabela's carries them for $120, and I'm going to pick one up Friday or Saturday and hit the range.

I've got a side saddle shell holder for mine as well, but haven't messed with the fore-end at all - I'm quite happy with the one I have on mine already. What kind of fore-end did you get, and what makes it better? I'm guessing that it's rubberized.

It is rubberized and textured and it kind of "sticks"???? to your hand which is a good thing IMO. I've played with a Spec Ops Knoxx stock and it seems nice, I haven't shot one with it yet though.

Re: Why a Home Defense Shotgun?

Hey NcongruNt, I just recently put on a Mesa 6 shot side saddle shell holder and a Hogue Fore-end on my 870!!!! :woohoo . That fore-end makes a BIG difference in the way it handles now. :evil2:

Re: Why a Home Defense Shotgun?

Don't forget about the "Reduced Recoil" buckshot loads!!!! Shooting the reduced recoil loads is like shooting dove shot.

Re: Why a Home Defense Shotgun?

Don't spend the money on a new shottie. Just put 00 or 000 or whatever you want for a HD shottie. A light would be preferable IMO though. Do you have a pump or semi??? What's wrong with a side saddle shell holder????
