What is the Best tactical shotgun's?

[RHINOWSO]

I used to like a pump 590 for this, but after shooting side by side with my 930, I'll take a semi-930 any day.

The one you can handle the best!!!

1: what is yall's favorite tactical shotgun ?
2: Round counts on them?
3: Problems?
4:Good price range?

A 12 gauge pump with extra rounds attached is what I prefer.

I've had a Benelli M4 and it was a stout weapon. I had a few hundred rounds of all sorts through it and never hiccuped. I passed it onto my son that runs it without issues. I have a Beretta 1301 and it has to be the fastest cycling shotgun I've used; but I haven't shot it very much. But if I was not too sure about the options, I wouldn't overlook a Mossberg 590 or even a Maverick 88.

I reach for the Ole Dewalt it solves all my problens

Nobody has mentioned the Ithaca Stakeout - 14” barrel slam fire runs pretty quick…

Ummm ... look where that gun is pointing. Not the best gun handling practice I've seen.

As for the definitive answer to this thread, which could go on forever, Pierre in Post #62 has provided a succinct and 100% correct answer.

Well how bout these shoots 45, 357, 9mm and 22... - can also chop down a cherry tree...

Mossberg 590 Retrograde. $499 at Gulf Coast on black Friday. 870 was a $100 more and felt like a cheap POS. I was going to buy both until I put my hands on them.

Ballistic pants? Stand down citizen, we're professionals. Return to your home, and or chosen place of residence. Remain calm. All is well.

Honestly, to me, "tactical" currently means a threat within my 21-foot bubble. For a shotgun, in those circumstances I want manueverable (probably "illegal"), reliable = pump action, and the ability to reload/top-off would be a bonus, if this is the one/only weapon I'm restricted to.

If a tactical shotgun was what I wanted, I would buy all that for the least amount of $ possible. Why? Because should I need it for the purposes being discussed, there's a 99% likelyhood it will be confiscated. Regarding the 1% chance it is returned to me, after jail/"trial"/"civil" proceedings at my expense, it will probably not be in the condition it was when taken.

For the purpose of this thread. Buy what will work for the intended/planned moment with the mindset you'll never see it again. Maybe more appropriately, won't be able to afford to see it again. Buy a "tool" you can afford to lose.

Or maybe you just need to run a slug out to 100 yds... at night... and you're blind as a bat... like me : )

I just ran the first five rounds @ 40 yds. for initial sighting of the optic, and the last shot would have been 1.5" from dead-center (low/right) @ 100 yds assuming 2" drop between 40 & 100 (albeit from a rudimentary "bench" composed of two tires and a very large plastic flower pot : ) I'll do some tweaking @ 40 and watch for holding zero before I move to 100.

P.S., anyone have a good shotgun bipod laying around? : )

I want a 1 moa shotgun!!

3-shot group specs pending... after my shoulder rests up : )

P.S., I think it can do 8 of 9 pellets (+/-) of 00 Flite-Control into a torso @ 40 yds. if I recall correctly... I'll be re-checking that as well.

Want cheap sd? Use turkey choke with walmart 7.5 winchester. Puts wad inside dillo at +25 feet.... = frangable slug at inside distances...

My favorite is my sons old 20 gauge three shot browning. He is in the navy and was over seas, I came in late one night after gigging flounders and did not want to wake the wife, so I went to sleep in his room upstairs, I woke up to my screaming there was a man in the house down stairs. That old browning was in the gun rack by his bed, grabbed it and ran down stairs and stuck that barrel into his belly button hole- shot gun was not loaded and I know this is tactically not correct but it was all I had to work with- escorted him out of the house to wait on the police, he was not armed, thankfully and all was well. Laid awake many nights replaying what happened. I realize it could have went really bad, needless to say a different load out is beside my bed and loaded, but that night that little browning was my favorite!

What optic did you put on that?

I destroyed 2 different crossfires and when I got the 3rd, I put it on a 22 instead of a shotgun.
