Depends on what you plan on using it for

beat me to the post bluegolf.


Steps for gun purchase are as follows:

1. What do I (in this case YOU) plan to use this for?

2. According to that specific purpose (Home defense, trap, skeet, bird hunting, slug gun) does the firearm in question fulfill all the needs and withstand my requirements?

3.How often will I shoot this firearm? (Some last longer than others).

4. How much am I willing to spend (or how much can I get before the wife notices?)

5. What is the resale value, warranty, and popularity (feedback) of the firearm and are other people happy with what they got?

6. Give in to lust, buy the gun and sneak past wife into gun safe.

1. Well, both really. Hunting and Home Defence

2. They both do.

3. Let's just say I don't plan on loosing/selling it.

4. <$800

5. Not too sure about that. I'll have to look it up.

6. Gun safes? Who needs one? I got a closet.

Assuming the priority would be for home defence, go with a 12 ga. You can get the Fed. Tac. 00 buckshot that has low recoil and will reduce the chances of the shot visiting your neighbor.

Whether or not you go with a ghost ring is purely personal choice, but i hear that it's great for snap shots and LE applications, so it'll do well for home defense (I've never had any experience with them personally though).

You'll need something short enough to be used comfortably indoors, but still good enough for hunting. And you'll want to make sure that the shotgun can handle steel shot (since the law mandates steel shot for hunting). Otherwise you'll be changing barrels out every 10 shells or so.

And about the safes, they're great to keep the wife from sticking your guns in the woodchipper if she gets mad at you (this actually happened to a customers' gun that was brought in).

They are both 12 ga. I prefer the "Super X" shot, don't ask why.

That's another thing. A mounted sight or the ghost ring. I'll have to consider...but I'm liking the mounted sight better. Good for hunting.

They both come in three barrel lengths. I liking the Nova Pump right now, especially as I'm not fond of autoloaders. Both can handle the Magnum Steel Slugs, so no problem there.

Thank god I only have a GF right now...
