Remington 870 Express Tactical
My Remington 870 Express Tactical 12 Gauge (18" Barrel) is just like the one pictured here. It came stock with the double pistol grips. It has 7+1 rounds of Winchester Super X (3"-00B, 15 Pellets) in it.
Remington may not be making these now. I purchased mine new over three years ago.

House guns as in home defense? For my environment and skill level, my primary home defense firearm is a Glock 17 Gen4 equipped with as many unfair advantages as possible. Suppressors are illegal in IL, so the best I could do was the compensator. I thought it wouldn't do jack, but it really does work. I also tuned the trigger to my liking.
This will be replaced soon. I have a similarly equipped Glock 22 Gen4 that is being milled for a Trijicon RMR and having suppressor height night sights installed. When that's complete, I will have every unfair advantage possible in and mounted to a handgun. I know people will ask why a Glock when X is so much better. While Glocks aren't my favorite pistol, I don't hate them either. I learned to shoot a pistol using a Glock 19. Because of this, shooting a Glock is natural for me. It feels like an extension of my will.
Otherwise, if I need a rifle:
^It's like an AR, AK, and Styer Aug had a three-way and conceived a child. The only things I've done to it was remove the extra spring from the trigger pack, transfer over my EoTech, and got sling for it. It's pretty much good to go right out of the box.
Oddly enough I only have one shotgun. I never get out to practice with it, so it's out of the running. I don't have the skill level to reliably employ a shotgun under stress.

My first Glock 19
I did not like the finger groove frame and gave this to my son, then got myself a gen. II Glock 19. My son bought a couple of 33 round mags for it and uses it as his house gun.

I've always figured that if some intruder wakes me up in the middle of the night out of stage 5 sleep, I'm probably gonna be kinda groggy.
As a result, my aim with a handgun or rifle won't be that reliable. So, to compensate for 1) being groggy and 2) being undoubtedly nervous, I've opted to have one of these close by, along with several rounds of double-ought buck. We live out in the country. It's just my wife and me, so I'm not worried about any shot penetrating walls.
Still, that being said, I also keep a handgun on the nightstand, just in case.

The house brands out here in the woods are Mossberg, Smith and Wesson, STEYR Mannlicher, and Marlin. Just us and the dogs, closest neighbors are half mile away so if something goes through a wall the intruder is the one who needs to be looking out. We keep the magazines full as some of them are 4 legged and have cost us dearly.

We load crushed walnut hulls for this old M&P to shoot carpenter bees. I guess that would qualify as "home protection".

Moved from the farm to a condo a few months back, so the house gun is an old Akron PD 870 with 7.5 bird shot (the 7 year old girl next store is only a frame wall away) and a Model 49 always in my pocket. (I'm in City Limits, but there is a menacing ground hog 127 yards out my bedroom window; When he comes out to sun himself in the spring I'll just have to defend the homestead with a suppressed AR-15) Ivan
If you think I"ll be the one to talk you out of Para-Ordnance, not a chance. I have 2 small LDA Para-Carry's. They shoot very well!

Normally... HD duty is tasked to my RIA 1911-A1. The house is brick and the nearest neighbor is at least 75 yds. away. Those houses are also brick, so I don't think I have to worry about endangering them. At present, a 21-4TR is handing HD as a new replacement front sight is being fitted to the 1911. Feel very good w/ the 21-4... the .44 Special is just about ideal for such work, or at least Elmer Keith thought so. Sincerely. brucev.

It wasn't until all the media anti propaganda that I really saw the virtues of it. I've had one since 1997 that's been used primarily as a target gun.
So, this one in firearm configuration was built for the purpose.

It works quite well.

Whenever I'm at home it's nearby.

House guns
When attack objects as large as a house I like to use something big enough to
demoralize occupants. Also they are in dazed condition when they stumble
out. This makes them easier to pick off as they crawl out of ruble.

Here's my assortment, you've seen some of them before. From top to bottom:
1. Colt Series 70, 45 ACP. The bedroom gun. Clark did some work on it. Has night sights and 10 round magazine as it's not a pocket gun. Federal 230 gr HPs. Goes with me when I travel, too, as I have a nylon holster that can attach to the bed.
2. RIA Compact, 5 ACP; lives next to my computer. Nothing done to it so far; needs Clark stippling and night sights. 7 round magazine as it might go into my pocket if the doorbell rings at night when I'm on the computer. Federal 230 gr HPs.
3. S&W 625 Mountain Gun in 45 Colt, loaded with Speer 250 gr HPs. Spegel grips. It's in the drawer of the end table next to my recliner. Anything coming in the door isn't going to walk out again.
4. Colt Combat Commander, 45 ACP, Federal 230 gr HPs. Novak night sights, Clark stippling and other minor tweaks. 10 round magazine. It's in the Gun Room; if I'm in there and I hear 'noises off', it will go with me when I investigate.
All get shot with handloads frequently, mostly plinking, to keep my hand in, and insure the guns are working OK too.

Model 66 in 2 1/2 inch is handy as is a Remington 870 Marine Magnum. Live in the country so over penetration of walls isn't so much a concern. Closest neighbor is in a direction I wouldn't be likely to shoot.
I had a Bushmaster Patrolman too but due to space limitations it is in the safe now.
I normally have a model 37 in my pocket though and what I would likely have available first.

Benelli M1 Super 90 tactical, got it cheap and added upgrades. 8+1 of 12ga 00buck and shot will stop anything. Can't see in the photo but I also have a surefire light attached and added a sling. The compensator choke works pretty well too. I simply don't understand why so many people use rifles and pistols when you can use a shotgun. Its also my biased opinion that a benelli semi-auto is as good as it gets, and a semi-auto over a pump is the way to go in defense situation. I've short stroked my 870 too many times in a rapid fire situation.

Some nice hardware on here, but I've got to make fun. On those black guns, you think you've got room for a coffeemaker, GPS, and DVD on there?
