I need to reevaluate the manner in which I defend my home.
I'm a part time Dad, my son lives with his Monster, er, I mean his Mother, so having guns about the house was never an issue. I no qualms about leaving loaded weapons wherever. I kept my carry gun on my nightstand when it wasn't on my hip.
My girlfriend and I recently got an apartment together (yes, we are living in sin). She has two small boys who have yet to reach the shooting age (two and three). I can't just leave my pistol on the night stand anymore. I've been sleeping with one on the nightstand at night but putting it in the gun locker before going to work in the morning (my carry gun and duty guns are not the same). This is a pain in the butt, and is sometimes over looked when I am running late. I want to procure a shotgun that I can leave mounted to the wall above the top shelf of my walk in closet in my bedroom. This would be a loaded weapon, easily accessible by me, but out of reach of the crumb snatchers.
I want a pump for many reasons, that don't need to be delved into, as they have been hashed, rehashed, and hashed over some more before being given a final mulling.
Presently, I do not own a shotgun, but in the past, I have owned a Mossy 500 & a 590A1 as well as an 870 Remmy. I've been looking over the Novas recently. When they first came out, I thought that they were ugly, and left them alone. Now I'm giving it another pass. I like it's light weight, it lends itself to being handy. What concerns me is the plymer reciever/stock. Yes, I own Polymer pistols, but this is a shotgun, and that is a lot of plastic.
Anyway, enough babbling. Has anyone had any issues with the Nova with regard to reliability or durability? Are their any other reasons why I should give this gun a pass?
