12ga is fine as a home defence tool, its lethality is governed by what you load it with slug is terminal and buckshot is the same. i suppose if your wanting some serious shot to use in a home defence tool, you could try and get some big TSS now expensive but lethal without question. Lets face...

no plain and simple.

As always some good info off this forum thank you all for your explanations.

I have a question that has been nagging me for some time but never asked so here goes. occasional notice some shotguns have sling swivels in other than the typical position, some as example have the rear swivel in the base of the pistol grip others have swivel far up the barrel closer to the...

I do not have a horse in this race these days, but back in the day i was capable of a pretty fast rate of fire with an old JC Higgins pump That was one slick running and handling pump.

As i said original , i liked my old 120 ranger it was not my favorite pump action but it was 3 inch and it was reliable and the action was nice to use. Seeing the SXP the other day and not curently having a pump action i was considering buying one. But comments here and elsewhere although not...

Guns which will work well in low temps rain sleet etc are many, but add wind blown sand or mud into the equasion it needs a special gun to keep on spitting them out reliable. The side by sides and O/us are of course reliable in that second shots are at least generaly guaranteed, but with just...

From what i could tell, this new SXP looked to be typical Winchester pump business as usual to me, I know the SXP has been out a few years now but as i lead a sheltered life its the first one i have come across i must say the Invector plus barrel is a positive move , as although after market...

I had a base model 120 Ranger back in the 80s used it hard it was a performer back them. Traded it with some cash for a new Rem 1187 when they came out 1990 x 1991. A Waterfowl pal i still shoot with today had a Ranger 120 same time i had one, and we often reminisced about the old guns humble...

Model 11s are awesome, i so want one in 16ga i thought i had located one a short wile ago, but when i got there the gun was in terrible condition and the ejector port had been ground out and a chamber x forcing cone butchering job done by a partially sighted alcoholic on a bad day from what i...

Well where to start! I suppose like the good book the beginning is a good place. I the beginning A steel was conceived out of a need for a modern highly progressive good performing powder for Steel and non tox loading in shotguns, it was amassing in its speeds and pressures were good...

I had a choke tube split on the first 1187 i had back in 1992 it was about six months old was a mod choke and it split but did no damage to the threaded area, just replaced the mod choke in the set and never had another issue with the gun in 15 years and tens of thousands of rounds.

I would not be so hasty as to dismiss new Remington’s Nephew has a 12 month old 1187 it is proving reliable in the field, and i know a Versamax with many thousands of rounds through it with not a single fault of failure to fire, and that guns owner could only be describes as lazy on his gun...

Anything Remington produce i want it to function well and sell well, i like Remington through and through, but i must say this gun has me a stone cold about the whole idea. WHY! Would you need such a gun.? If you think about bolt guns a poor magazine design or even something as basic as...

Gas autos do help with FELT recoil. But as you point out Long recoil guns do spread out the recoil over a longer period of time, and if you get the bush settings and lube just right recoil does not feel anything like as heavy as say a pump action or short recoil semi. I use a $*a Mag along...
