Me too. Great cheap shotgun. Looks menacing too. Bought the shotgun at a pawn shop for around 100 bucks. Cleaned it, lubed it, shot it. 3" 00 buckshot all the way. Keep it under the Super Duty back seat in a soft case. On long trips might bring along a Mini-14 with a couple of mags too.KD5NRH wrote:Norinco copy of the Ithaca 37 riot model w/ghost ring and mounted light. In order of chambering, 2 low-recoil 00, 2 magnum 000, and one slug. Butt cuff with 4 more 000 and another slug.
Most common issue out here is stray dogs, feral hogs or coyotes, so I'm not too worried about the time to either "rack down" to the loaded slug, or just clear one of the shot loads to make room for the one in the cuff if I need longer range than buck will give. In a human-based dynamic encounter, I'd not expect problems with any of the loads, but I like to keep low-recoil up front in case SWMBO has to use it.
