Just bought 1200rds of 7.62x39 bout to buy another 1200rds. Need to start stock piling my ammo.
So how do all these guns effect the crime rate ?
Found this Mossburg 500 specialty Field security combo seems to be what i am looking for
i like the idea...... Originally Posted by JEG8233 I keep a Remington 870 Express with the 18" barrel, pistol grip, surefire tac light on the fore end, and the M4 style collapsable stock.

Interesting demo of ammo

Enno Same here. Reason being, many years ago, I had a ND/AD. From that day forward, they've all been cocked & locked. (1911's) There is one small difference though. I don't trust anyone enough, to handle my guns.

I agree with this. Mine always has one in the tube. I trust the factory safety. I'll add this though. No children are in my home, those with, might not feel the same way.
If it works for the army it works for me. Besides the take down for cleaning is better than the 500's. So I vote for the mossberg model 590a1 shotgun. And never rack the slide to scare someone.

pistol grip only or pistol grip with a shoulder stock. pistol grip only is cool as all get out but I don't like it. It can be a handful especially when using heavy loads. And when you are in a "panic" situation like somebody breaking in, you want all the wits about you that you can have. With a shoulder stock of some sort it is very functional. Having said that, if you are just interested in home defense, get a regular old Remmy or Mossy and call it good. Enno
As far as 12ga shottys go, how is it shooting one with a pistol grip compared to standard? Will it rip your hand off?

I did put the utg fore end on my romanian ( It is built like a tank and really nice). I also put a tapco fore grip on the rail, did a tapco collapsable stock (which is whatever) and bought a few of the tapco "plastic mags" which are great! Theres so much you can do with the ak's.
If you haven't tried a kingarmory muzzle break you don't know what you are missing. I had one (sold gun) on my 7mm mag and it was amazing. It didn't kick as hard as my AR does. Joey is a great guy also... Been shooting with him many times. http://www.kingarmory.com Enno

The wife unit probably knows to the day though. I do know, she's close to 100 pounds though. Hard to believe, the first week we got her, she almost died of Parvo. My wife saved her somehow. Nothing short of a miracle. Really strong bond between those two since then.
