I've been familiarizing the wife with my Stevens dbl 20ga for when I'm not around. I keep my new 1911 R1 handy for myself. The R1 is also my daily carry especially for our walks in rural Michigan.

Was using a baseball bat. But as I've gotten older my swing has very much slowed down. Switched to a WWI Colt Army M1911. Switched to a 1911 R1 a few weeks ago. Caress it every night before I go to bed. Hope my wife doesn't find out.

In a home defense scenario chances are you’re gonna need a “spare” hand to call the police, open doors, push kids out-of-the-way, pull kids to safety, turn on/off a light, etc. Also, Captain B’s right: it’s easier for a bad guy to grab a shotgun barrel than a handgun’s. Negotiating corners with bad guys in situ can be . . . problematic.

Home defense is NOT search and destroy. The best weapon is to be vocal (from cover) and a flashlight equipped shotgun. After training and practice, of course. IMHO. Very few people, will maintain handgun trigger control with one hand, under stress, to be accurate. If a person then takes an isosceles or weaver stance, your weapon is at the length of a short barrel HD shotgun. Just having a weapon without training can be... problematic. US Army-Vietnam

We use what we have at hand, even if it is a shotgun or handgun. There are no definite "best" weapons in every and all encounters. A long gun can have some advantages, even if you don't have to shoot the gun. It can also be used as a weapon to strike with. When I was in the Marines, we spent more time training with the rifle as a striking weapon than we did actually shooting the gun. Rifle drill was a big thing then, maybe not so much now, but it was when I was in. I loved rifle drill, and became quite good at it. With a bayonet on the end, it could become a very effective weapon in more than just shooting someone with it. Just saying.

I got 2 tactical SG to choose from, although my reliable 590 is my primary it never hurts to have a pretty damn good backup in the 870 just in case I have to shoot with both hands....lol.

Nice scatter guns! Did you install the heat shield, or did it come that way?

It's an OEM heat shield but I had to install it myself. It didn't come with it. Initially my 590 looked like the 870 on the left. Just a basic plain shotty then I added the heat shield, limb saver, corn Cobb forend, toprail, pumkin punched and hand stops. I like the feel and look of my shotties and the reliability. |

I have an H&R 1871 pump, that I would like to put a heat shield on, but I am kinda afraid to buy one and discover that it does not fit well and is cheesy. USMC 83' - 87'

I tried, but screwed up on the birth date question! (was not paying attention, and clicked AFTER 2002) I sent a private message to DHonovich to see if he could square away my dumb mistake. I think he is the administrator of that one.

Nothing fancy, just comfortably effective. R1 Commander at the ready on the night stand. Eight rounds Remington Ultimate Defense 230 grain BJHP. Locked and loaded. Pretty cheap life insurance.

I really need to get a newer photo. This is my Remington 870 as she used to look.
 I've winced upgraded her quite a bit. She now has a Vang Comp ported 870P barrel, stainless steel follower, Utlimate Reliability Pkg from http://www.ultimate870.com, and an aluminum Mesa Tactical side saddle shell carrier. I also have a XS Big Dot tritium sight and Elzetta flash light mount on it. I load it with #1 buckshot. Model citizen...Zero discipline
