Home Defense shotguns........what's under your bed??????

Winchester Model 12 Trench Gun and a Winchester 1200 Stainless Police. It's a double bed.
 
Parkerized, "Old School Tacticool," from 1969 . . . and it still kicks serious butt!

Lefthanded, of course. A short barreled pump that "kills at both ends" . . .

Long guns are no good in my home, but I do have a 7 shot Ithaca Model 37 Deer Slayer Police Special in the safe. Took it to Korea with me. Used it to teach the Korean security guards at Camp Howze how to shoot a shotgun. No disconnector, unlike the M&P model.

There's a Winchester Model 12, cut down to a riot gun and reblued shown with a cut Remington Model 11. The Winchester was made in 1919, the Remington is quite old as well. I also have two generic Mossberg 500s and a Stoeger Coach gun. However, my actual "home defense guns" are those show below.

Universal Sporting Goods 12ga. coach gun with 20" barrels and exposed hammers, with an assorted box of shells...00 buck, slugs, bird shot and even a few with the little steel darts{flechetts?} in them in my night stand.
 
Normally I'm pretty old school, but in this case I have a Scattergun Tech 870 with the Surefire forend, extended mag tube, ghost ring w/ trijicon, etc.

Remington 11-87 with pistol grip Speedfeed Stock with four rounds in the magazine and four in the Stock.
 
I only use the bayonet to keep my wife from stealing the covers.

A garden-variety, 1980s vintage 12 gauge Magnum Remington 870 "Standard Deer Gun," which back then meant a 20" smoothbore barrel with rifle sights that would take 3" shells, and which had a nicely blued barrel and receiver and a nice walnut stock, loaded with low recoil Winchester Ranger 9 pellet OO buck

and

a Remington 20 gauge youth model "Express" (which refers to how quickly they make them) with 21" barrel, barrel and receiver coated with some damn thing or another, and a stained birch stock, loaded with Federal 3" Magnum #2 buck. Yes, #2, not #3.

I'd rather engage bad guys with the nice old 12 gauge. I'd rather the 20 gauge WalMart special spend several years in the evidence room.

But if push comes to shoot, it'll be the 12.
