Nice collection, sir.

I myself have two Ithaca 12 gauge pump police shotguns, one Browning Auto-5 12 gauge shotgun that doesn't fit me (the stock is too long), and one Remington Sportsman 12 gauge semi-auto, made circa 1937 (an oldie but a goodie) [1].

[1] the Remington Sportsman looks like this: http://media.liveauctiongroup.net/i/...D1DEE022DBEEB0

I've got two Remington 870s dressed that way. One for the house, and one for my truck. I really like the Magpul stock set for my 870s, as everything seems just right.........

Nice mc.

My daughter in law has a Maverick riot.

I have a New High Standard riot copy, a M 37 Ithaca riot and a M 12 with a M 1912 20" cylinder bbl. All have a sinister appearance.

I rescued this 97 from a bubba home poly choke job. If I'm going
to have a short barrel shotgun, I want one with a little class.

Nice bunch of shotguns with little actual utility.

Unfortunately, none of these guns are worth much for real world use.

I'd be more impressed with guns that actually get used for shooting than a bunch of guns that the owner obviously has never used for anything other than fantacy zomby roles.

I'm not impressed.

I'd rather see real guns actually used for their intended purpose than a bunch of guns with fantacy roles.

I doubt the owner of these things has the skill to actually hit anything moving with these guns.

Well, I like his collection just fine. If someone doesn't share your tax bracket that shouldn't keep them from enjoying our sport.

I bet each of those goes bang just as loud as the next guys.

Question: What is the advantage of the shotgun pistol grips on shotguns ?

On hitting moving objects with a short bbl'd shotgun. With a little luck it can be done. The sheriff I worked for had a M-12 Win Riot, quail were in a world of hurt when the covey rose.

I traded in to a like new M-12 riot years go, I hunted with it for several years. The pattern opens a tad bit sooner. At rabbit, duck and squirrel distance one needed to lead a little further so you did not put as much shot in the body.

The stopper in using them for hunting is the number of rounds the riot holds, in many states a plug restricting the magazine to 2 rounds is required. Some are not easy to change out.

The short bbl really has nothing to do with hitting at normal shotgun distances. If you are shooting waterfowl at 50 a long bbl with a full choke is better.

Remington once did some testing, a shotgun bbl over 25 inches does not gain an more velocity and will pattern or shoot as well as the long bbl'd ones with the same chokes.

Many folks have a "riot" type shotgun for the home defense weapon. #4 pheseant loads or # 4 Buckshot is a better stopper than a hand gun and will not pentrate like a 357.

Bill Jordan once said something like this, buy an improved choked gun, use it on everything, it will make you a better shotgunner. I know the quote is not exact but it's been perhaps 40 years since I read it.

I think many of these guns get fired at informal target plinking like tin cans, hedge apples or hand thrown targets, if the owners are not doing this they may fumble with the gun if ever needed against zombies.
