Anyone else have a Shotgun for Home Defense? If so post some pics
Mines a Smith & Wesson 3000 12 ga, a retired State Police weapon. I also have a slug barrel for it

I just bought a Saiga .410. It will be at the house when I get home. I want to put a scope mount and a Bushnell 1x red dot on it. I've been researching HD rounds and there's some good .410 options.
I would have gotten a 12 gauge, but I got a good deal on the .410 ($299) and I think a 12 gauge would overpower the wife.

Why does that S&W look so much like an 870?????????

I have various guns scattered throughout the house. 9's, 20's, 12's, Mini-G's.
Geez Orlando, you must be reading my mind (it's scary eh?:-)
I was coming to post some questions, looking for advice on tactical shotgun add-ons. I'm not going to trample on your thread, I'll start another.
Your S&W does looks a lot like my Remington 870, I bought the Express Combo package years ago, came with the 20" slug and 28" bird barrels. Since I started hunting deer with a Contender pistol some years ago and retired the shotgun I turned it into a home defense gun. I had some work done on the slug barrel to take a lot of the kick out of it by having it ported and the forcing cone lengthen, then I installed a pistol grip, three round mag tube and smaller forend grip. The pistol grip is a cheap solid plastic type I picked up at a gun show, I wouldn't recommend those. I'm going to get the Hogue grip, I see I can get the grip and matching forend from Brownells (cheap at my price :-)

I don't have any pics of it, I'll have to get a couple and upload them.
I wonder if AM stocks and parts will fit your shotgun? Was the barrel you bought listed for the S&W only or also for the Rem 870?
Remington 870 loaded with OO buckshot.
I have a Mossberg 500 12ga. loaded with "less than lethal" ammo for the first 3 rounds. I figure that
A-Less likely my wife will kill me.
B-Less likely I'll accidently shoot my neighbor Nick.
As I rememeber no parts are interchangeable, the barrel is marked S&W . I found a guy in Texas that does have a few parts for them. I actually bought the extended magazine from him for itQuote:
