Hello,
I've been shooting for 15+ years and during that time the only shotgun I have was one that had belonged to my great uncle - a Stevens 20g side-by-side. It finally gave up the ghost a couple years ago. Now, I need a shotgun. Primarily if not exclusively for home defense with perhaps some plinking and even some casual trap shooting.
Here are some that've caught my eye. I'd love to hear y'all's pros and cons. Also, I am a huge CZ fan ( I own 5 CZ firearms). High capacity better than the reverse. Pistol grip preferred, but not a deal breaker. I'd also like true sights - ghost rings etc. Even just a rail would do and I could after market the sights.
1) CZ 712 Practical 12 Gauge, 22", Extended Mag, 6 position stock Capacity 9+1
2) CZ 612 HC-P Cap. 4+1
3) Mossberg 500 12 Gauge Special Purpose Persuader Cap. 5+1
590's:
4) Mossberg 590 Special Purpose 9-Shot (the one with ghost rings)
5) Mossberg 590 Tactical Tri-Rail Cap. 8+1
870's:
6) Remington Model 870Express Tactical Cap. 7+1
7) Remington Model 870 Express Tactical with BLACKHAWK! Spec Ops II Cap. 7+1 (???)
8) Remington Model 870 Express Tactical Magpul Cap. 7+1
9) Remington Model 887 Nitro Mag Tactical Cap. 7+1
10) Remington Model 1100 TAC 4 Cap. 8+1
I realize I'm asking a lot, so please give me all the info you have on whichever of these you own, used to own etc etc. Some of these are VERY unlikely due to price (number 10 comes to mind) unless y'all tell me it is the Holy Grail and the weapon Archangel Michael smote Satan with.
My Highest preference is for the CZ 712; Remington Model 870Express Tactical; Mossberg 590 Special Purpose 9-Shot.
Thank You! I certainly hope you can help me make an informed decision.
