Sell the phony one (you know, it's the knock-off) and put the down payment on a real one. Come on Pete, you know it's the right thing to do.

I'm heading to Cabela's next Sunday and wanted to know if any of you slackers here are going as well. I'll problably be there around 11 or 12 since I'll be with a rugrat. Anyone else?

Pete, when do you pick up your 870? Is it in yet?

XDm 45 is a great choice, although the standard XD is just as good. The SR9 is another good choice, but 10 round mags are what your gonna get. Glock 17 is top notch, but again 10 round mags suck. Glock 19 is the ay to go.

Glenn, those are hot! If they weren't so questionable in this horrible state I'd have one. I'm not hating AKs or ARs like others, if you roll with one then I'm all for it. As long as it works for you. Thanks for the pictures bro, I like gun porn.

I understand that everyone has preferences, hence the little poll here. I will always be an 870 guy, that won't change. But my 590 is just as good. There I said it! You could make the argument that the 590 is more of a street/tactical gun and the 870 is more of a closet/under the bed gun since the 590 has sights and is a few inches longer than the 870. This is also why I want to run slugs in her, to see how far I could hit something and test it's accuracy out to say 100 yards. Fort Dix anyone?

So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each system. ie Safety position, action, sights, ease of dissembly and use, aftermarket accesories, looks? I'll start this Safety, most will say the Mossberg is in a better position and it actually is. Although I really have no need for it. Safety=Mossberg Action, Remington by a landslide. It's almost too smooth. I like the Mossbergs action but compared to the 870 it lacks. Action=Remington Sights, Mossberg has ghost rings and the Remmy has a bead. Mossberg in a landslide. Not sure if sights are needed on a pump but it's on there none-the-less. Sights=Mossberg Ease of Dissembly and use, Remington has a winner there. You can have it apart quickly and change out the extension tube and barrel easily. The Mossberg takes a little bit longer for me, but it could be that I'm still learning. Ease of Dissemly and use=Remington Aftermarket accesories, TIE? Even though the 870 has been around forever and add-ons are never ending, the Mossberg has just as many. Whatever a company makes for one, they'll have something for the other. Accesories= Tie Looks, another TIE? Yeah, the 870 is gorgous and their wingmasters are perfect. But the 590A1 has a mean business look that is perfect. I like them both and it's up to you guys to decide. Looks= Tie So, it looks like it's a Tie. A tie? Well, the debate rages on.

Okay, I undertand everyone has opinions on what shotshell design is excellent for home defense. Some have preferences for one load and others like another. I have all flavors of 00 Buck and 000 Buck right now, but was wondering what tactical slugs others use.

I would like to carry in the state that I live in, is that too hard to ask?

I've been thinking about getting a bayonet for my 590, but it would make my shotgun way to long for any house use.

God bless you Shane.

Now that is an 870! Not in love with all the upgrades but it looks great!

There are a few "tactical" options out there. Winchester PDX1 has a buck-n-ball as well. I'll get a few boxes of what Caine posted and check the googles to see what else pops up.

The SR9 mentioned above started off with a rough trigger, but she really smoothed out with more rounds down range. As far as your other choices, it's kind of hard to give you "advice" because the list is so broad and open. The best you could do is come to a meet-up at the ranges (Bullet Hole, Bayonne, Shore Shot, Brick Armory?) and grab as many as you can and take notes.

Lookin good Georgy! What's next on this little upgrade you got goin?

VJ, your on the central squad brother. They have their own training regiment.

When? Where? Is my invite coming in a PM?

model 15, you loved mine to death. Really bro, that gun is hard to beat.

What c6 said I have seen forum members with NRA stickers, Sig stickers and even a Smith & Wesson tail hitch.

Is that the kinky stuff old married people do? I still don't know what it is, but if it involves REAL guns, gear and running around them I'm all about it.

2 weeks Max, 4 days minimum. They are quick! Go Alex!

Happy B-Day grandpa!

Thanks j0n, but those are for hunting deer. I'm looking for "tactical" applications. Like Zombies and stuff.
