I owned a Street Sweeper for awhile. Biggest piece of junk I ever seen in a shotgun in my life. One of those good idea on paper things...

How's this for a SHTF shotgun
- Thread starter bullbarrel
- Start date
Just caugh this...
I too owned a Street Sweeper. It made 2 trips back for warentee work because the alumuinum cylinder would expand and jam after just shooting a few low brass rounds. They finally added 3 bolts thru the multi part cylinder.
The trigger. SUCKED Stage 1 released the spring wound cylinder and Stage 2 pilled a striker (maybe 30lbs?). Sure I could get 12 rounds off under 3 seconds. After reloading like a SAA Colt revolver I could get another 12 then my finger would give out.
Then the 94 ban kicked in and the Street Sweeper became and still is a Destructive Device. It was not worth the extra expence.
Not the saiga 12 is great!!! Got some 12 rd mags and a 20 round drum....

I'd happily take one of those. I have a thing for Mossy scatterguns. My current SHTF choice is a 12 gauge, New England Survivor. That ol' gal was purchased on the day after my 18th. Its got the chromed or whatever finish and its logged many a mile fishin', on a tractor, bouncin' in the pickup, and sittin' in camp. I keep the trapdoor butt stuffed with a baggie of mixed rounds and some matches and whatnot in the forearm. Its got an elastic butt cuff full of Federal 3 inch 00. Oh, and a simple little nylon sling danglin' underneath. Works good for me as a grab and go.

I have a video of me shooting my SS and it looks impressive. Heavy trigger and all it would empty the cylinder in~ 3 secs like you say. But no heavy loads...and then it needed cleaning. I am very mechanically inclined, (I am a mechanical contractor) I work with my hands. I dis/re-assemble every gun I own with no problemo. If I can't dis assemble a SS and reassemble so it works, then the SS is not user friendly or service friendly.:barf:
It never did work right again.
I sold it for 625 before the legal conversion hit and felt like I ripped the guy off.

Great gun, we take one with us in the boat. I have a few Mossbergs, and they're great guns for the money.
