Maverick 88. I'd only use a pump for HD because there's a little one to worry about. With a pump I can keep it secured with an empty chamber and full tube in a rack on the wall with a lock behind the pump so the action can't worked until it's unlocked.
 
home defense...auto or pump?

I use a Remington 1100 Competition Master for "everything"....home defense included. Bring 'em on!!! :)
 
CA, If you Want a Pistol Grip Stock It Has To Be Pump

I live in California, where a pistol grip stock on a semi-auto shotgun is illegal. So I use a Remington 870 with a Knoxx SpecOps stock. While I like the looks of the SpeedFeed stocks better, the Knoxx SpecOps eliminates recoil, and adjusts to fit every shooter. So I ran with it, and I dig it. I also dig the fact that you can get a SureFire weapon light made for the Remington 870. They look really cool, and there are no cords to get tangles up when racking it. Accessory wise, the Remington 870 and the Mossberg 500 seem to be your best options. But the key is to get the right accessories. Otherwise you're just adding weight and getting nothing back.

If Knoxx or SureFire are listing, I accept bribes in the form of free product, you guys are the best ;)
 
pump. you won't loose control and unload everything so easily.
And the "clack clack" sound will in my mind stop most people. was said it wouldnt, but those people weren't breaking in and knew the sound wasn't a shotgun being aimed at THEM
 
I have an extended mag Winchester 20" barrel mod 1300 pump. I would love to have an auto, But like someone said, It is twice the price!
 
Just wondering but why would you want the "clack Clack"? To Scare them? Personally i dont want anybody that breaks into my house to be scared, i want them lieing on the groung with a bunch of tiny holes in them, and that "clack Clack" just give them more to to find out where you are and shoot back. Just my two cents
 
Viper, you are right, but if they heard anything it would be the Ka-chunk of my semi auto..Just before the Boom. Besides, I can use it even if I were shot in the arm,, not so with a pump..I really doubt the bad guys are going to release the contents of their bowels into their pants at the sound of your pump,, more than likely, they will shoot in the direction of the sound
 
I have a Benelli M1 Super 90 Tactical (18.5 inch and 8 shot) and Winchester Defender Model 1300 (18.5 inch and 8 shot). The best of both worlds.
