MCASgt New River 10,036 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 WOW, am I the only one that finds the Beretta 1201FP in second place to my beloved Saiga 12?? My Beretta has all but a few times, with low brass rounds, choked on me. If you use 00/000 buck or slugs in either 2-3/4 or 3" she runs flawless...of course it's recoil operated not gas so it pounds your shoulder a little more too. Been getting harder to find on the market too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ML Roak 0 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I guess if I couldn't have my Saiga, I'd go with a 12ga BPS, and if I couldn't get a BPS, I'd go with an 870. Honestly, I'd be temped to stick it out with my SxS Stevens 311 w/18" tubes (short, sweet, and simple). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Azrial 1,091 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Remington 870 is the standard with more local, state and federal law enforcement agencies then any other shotgun and it has been like that for years. I have a Stainless Steel Marine 870 Police Magnum with a Remington Folding stock and a Surefire forestock as the duty companion to my Stainless Steel DSA Para-FAL. Both have served me well under rough conditions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waltham_41 52 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Only shottys I have ever owned before my S12 was 2 Mossberg 500 12 gauges. Neither one ever gave me any trouble, and I still own one of them, has a 18 1/2 inch bbl, heat shield and Knoxx copstock wire top folder stock on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darick 0 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I have an 870! seems pretty durable and the model has been around for a long time... But.. I voted for the Mossberg 500.. I think I like the placement of the Mossberg's safety, on the top/rear of the receiver, over the cross-bolt safety on the 870.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VanKiller 322 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I've been at this for a little while. Sold'em all, an shoot damn near all of them. Still keep an old US issue Ithaca 37.........quick an clean. You need to figure out just what you want a shotgun to do. We need more info.........or you need to buy about 4 different ones for different applications...............just walk in an throw yer checkbook........I'll fix you right up.........

Nailbomb 10,221 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Franchi LAW-12 , Lot of firepower. Moves alot of lead very quickly. I almost picked one up, Unfired condition, early model, and unfortunatly, the original saftey. Unless you find one with the saftey "fixed" i wouldn't get a law-12. I've got a Mossberg 500, but i've got a soft spot for the Ithaca model 37. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you find one with the saftey "fixed" i wouldn't get a law-12. Why? if it's unfired... and that rare of a gun who's going to shoot it anyway? And as far as i remember they offer a free fix for them... or am I off my rocker here...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ballistician 1 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Yah, but I think the company who does that fix is no longer around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhinojim86 0 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I personally have an 870 police model that I got for a very good deal. I've been working on a bullpup kit and have the basic design worked out. Let me know what you guys think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlenderWizard 12 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Where is the who cares option?Because after the saiga .... seriously ... who gives a fuck The only problem I can see with the Saiga is, though the magazine is nice, you do lose some maneuverability over a traditional pump or semi auto design.

rhinojim86 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 so my fiance bought me the new "Tactical Teddy". He's supposed to help you sleep better at night or something. His accessories were pretty cool. That's the funniest damn thing I'v e seen in a while! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigfunkytown 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Daddy onwed mossbergs, so thats what I've always gone for. My current 500A exstended magazine pump weapon is set up with a Knoxx tactical recoil reduction stock, with a 96 lumin flash light controled by presure switch. Thing is smooth except for the safety as it is rather stiff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hubel458 6 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'm new here, just visiting. Very nice site. Best shotgun depends on the power you want to get I think. When you shoot really high energy slugs like the right one in picture #1, then you need Savage 210 bolt actin or NEF Ultra Slug Gun, as shown in pictures 2 and 3. This is from our 12ga From Hell projects. Ed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saigafan12345 21 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Mossberg What heat shield is that? Does it give you any problems with the action cycling? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolverine 10,360 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) Mossberg What heat shield is that? Does it give you any problems with the action cycling? I have a Mossberg 500 just like it. The shotgun comes with the pistolgrip and heatshield installed, and no it does not get in the way of cycling rounds. It looks alot like the 590 minus the stock.

In the coming months I'm probably going to get a 500 for a nice project gun, so I've been shopping around for the various accessories etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
U.S. Pratorean 1,234 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yah, but I think the company who does that fix is no longer around. I got mine from RSR in the '80s when I was an FFL. It has the button safety and a vertical safety on the other side. The vertical safety will not disengage if the button safety is ingaged. The reverse is true for the former. Mine also has the modified buffer. This is the new trigger group. So that old lever safety must be a 1st production run I do not think there are many of those around. Website (spas12.com) states Benelli who imports the Franchi may deal with this. Never had a problem with this gun. Runs like a raped ape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never had a problem with this gun. Runs like a raped ape. I havn't heard from anyone going to benelli about a SPAS, LAW 12 or otherwise with good luck yet. Honestly i dug into it a little and the end result was i spent the money i was putting down on that shotgun, on other purchases. I got my mossberg and L.C. smith instead. Fit both purposes the original would have, function-mossberg, collectability-L.C. Smith but if you come up with one of the newer trigger groups i would like to hear about it. That law-12 is still sitting on a shelf and i know where... I'm sure yours runs great, i'm sure the one i was looking at would fire perfectly, but the nature of the saftey defect with the saftey lever isn't something i would jump into. If you can get a model with the updated saftey, i havn't heard a bad thing yet. Edited March 14, 2009 by Nailbomb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
