I guess it would depend on if this counts.Yes , I know, tactical to some degree but completely useful for home defense. I picked it up really beat up and refinished it,changed barrel and mag tube etc..

When the 870 police turn in shotguns were on the market I bought two. One with the 18" barrel and the other with the 20" barrel. Both were covered with rust, most likely as a result of poor storage by the dealer as an leo wouldn't ever leave it that way. So with a large bottle of CLP and some 4/0 (0000) steel wool and some very old tee shirts cut up into rags started removing the rust. 4 hours later no rust and no pitting. Same for #2 except for a couple tiny pits it too finished up nicely. #2 also had a large burr where the barrel extension butted up against it's recess in the receiver. Pulled out my copy of Jerry Knuhausen's book on the 870 shotgun. It said this burr was caused by the mag tube cap not being tight which allowed the barrel extension to flop and batter the receiver.With the barrel off it was easy to stone down the raised metal and was polished with various grades of silicon carbide paper. Sanded down one stock set, sealed with sanding sealer, sanded slightly and finished with 4 coats tru oil. All are on wingmaster receivers and serial numbers are close to my old deer deer short barreled 870 for which I used for deer in the Irish alps" so called because a lot of folks of Irish ancestory bought homes and small hotels. Beautiful country up there in NYS. Both have been shot and tested and no problems. Both butt pads have been replaced with the small limb saver slip on recoil pads, they do indeed tame some of the bight. How about a single shot riot gun?. Old Eastern Arms break open or crack barrel 12 guage. Cut the barrel back to 21", installed a small brass round head screw as a front sight and had to make a new firing pin. Wood and metal left in it's old worn finish. That one also got the limb saver slip on recoil pad. Frank

I have an 870 that used to belong to the Akron, Oh. PD. Along with 2 Win 97's, and 2 Mossberg 500 20". The 870 is my BR go to gun. Since leaving the farm, It carries five 2 3/4" #7.5 @ 1325 sporting loads (for the neighbors safety!
While the Mossberg's get snubbed often the one I have the 18.5" rifle sighted smooth barrel on will clover leaf 5 at 50 yards with Remington slugs! That still almost a 2" group, but I've had AR's that wouldn't shoot that well! (and got rid of them fast!)

Not really a Riot gun, but it’ll do.....it’ll do just fine.

I also have a Browning Pump with 20" Barrel, and a Mossberg 500 Pump with 20" barrel. Total: 4 Riot guns.
Sorry, no photos of the Browning or Mossberg available at this time.

Not factory, per se but close enough.

I own quite a few fighting Shotguns. A couple are placed in the house, one is in my vehicle and one is next to the night stand
My favorite is the Ithica 37. . . First off it is a bottom ejector so you never have to worry about tossing empty shells in your partners face. Because it is a bottom ejector it works great for righties or lefties. Most importantly, it does not have a disconector, so I can be VERY fast with it if needed
I have a nice old pre-68 savage that I also keep because it is a slam fire like the Ithica
I also have a Remington Police 870 factory folder. I keep it for sentimental reasons, it used to be the trunk gun for the Commander of the Florida Highway Patrol. When he passed it came to me. Truth is I have never shot it
I have a Winchester 1300 Marine that is an extra
I have 3 WP shotguns. A 14" Mossberg 590 in marinecote and a older pair of 12" Remington 870WPs. These are the older Remingtons that needed the elevator change to use the Remington 1 3/4" shells. The new 870s have solved the problem of double feeding the short shells
I also have a Franchi LAW-12. It is a mean looking thing, but I still prefer to fight with a pump
The last one is a Coach gun that I built a few years ago when this SxS had it's barrels crushed in a robbery attempt. It is only two shots, but it looks scary as all heck if you are on the wrong end and it can fire both barrels at onceThis is my new night stand gun
That Coach Gun doesn't appear to be legal, so you may want to consider removing that pic. Unless of course you have it registered as a Destructive Device with the Feds.
Nothing tacticooooool..... two 12 gauge pumps an 18 and a 20 inch (full tube 8 shot) Mossberg 500s; and a little Mossberg 510 Youth model (3+1) 20 gauge with an 18" barrel.

It's legal for him to possess. There's a massive thread on it somewhere, which I'm too lazy to dig up. . .
Edit: I've got a Mossberg 500 and a Mossberg 590 in 12, 20, and .410 . . .

My old Winchester Defender is always in whatever vehicle I'm in. It's very dependable and easy to pack around.

That has been my experience with the Mossberg 590s as well. They seem like pretty solid guns to me. Mine do real well with the regular Remington slugs sold at Walmart.

YES, WHY I HAVE NO IDEA.
A 12 & 20 gauge for wing shooting, another 12 ga for deer/hog/turkey & an 8 shot Mossberg 12 ga 590 mariner with 2 different stocks & pistol grip for the zombie apocalypse.

Funny. The only 12 gauges I have are riot guns.

If you're anything like me, you despise shooting shotguns. I don't shoot skeet, I don't hunt...so there's really no such thing as recreational shotgun shooting in my life.
I shoot the FN enough to stay "fresh" with the thing, but let's be honest, fresh doesn't translate to proficient...so I'm not all that great with it. The thing just beats the poop out of you. I bought an AR years ago and really do know how to use it well, if SHTF, I'll probably go to it first anyway.
Scooter123,
I will not be removing the picture
That is a 100% legal firearm under the Gun Control Act of 1929 as amended in 1934
While it does fall into the NFA Title II category, it is not a Destructive Device also sometimes abbreviated as DD.
The National Firearms Act refers to that as a Short Barreled Shotgun also sometimes abbreviated as SBS
While I have no personal knowledge of the laws in your State or Municipality, it is a perfectly legal firearm where I reside.
I manufactured it from a damaged NFA Title I firearm as the donor platform in full compliance with all applicable Federal, State and Local Laws.
It surprises me that you would even think otherwise
So let us get back to the spirit of this thread and you can contribute by posting some of your Riot Guns and letting us know which you like

Don't have a picture of it right now, I have a Winchester 1200 with two barrels, one is a 27" screw in choke, the other was a 27" modified that is now an 18.5". I've thought about looking for a bayonet mount/heat shield for it.
Got a picture last night, here's my shotgun, may not be my first to grab for home defense, but I like having it ready.
