All I own is a H&R Remington 870 clone tactical pump action (Remington and H&R are owned by the same parent company, and if you order parts for it they come from the Remington factory). For home defense. 00-buck. My roommate's ex is a bit (a lot) crazy. It sure is a fun thing to take to the range. Reminds me I need to buy a batch of target practice rounds for it and go shooting when my son gets back in town. Cheap and reliable. It's kind of the Bravo V1 Tube amp of shot guns.
Think about #1 buckshot; higher pellet count, not quite so overpenetrative as 00 and it patterns better at "conversational" ranges.
Yeah all they had was 0 and 00 at the store at the time. And slug, but I'm not using slugs for self-defense. Everything else was birdshot. Birdshot in big giant boxes, so going to the range is pretty affordable and doable.
The guys I work with almost all collect, and my two favorite fun to shoot rifles are polar opposites. A mosin nagant and a PS-90. You can shoot the mosin nagant all afternoon for the cost of one magazine in the ps-90. But the PS-90 is so much fun to plink with.
Very cool thread, there are some nice firearms out there. I won't have any pictures until I return home from my deployment, but I have a ccw and the following:
Walther PK380
Sig P250 compact 9mm
Sig P250 compact .40 S&W
Sig M400 w/ Nikon M-223 2-8x scope
Remington 700 .243
Remington 11-87 12ga
Have also owned, but sold:
Bersa Thunder .380

Mostly daily carry my PK380, with an Microtech Ultratech OTF auto knife.
