It's real strange this is the first time I have ever entered the shot gun forum. I read alot of post that answered some things. It sounds like a lot of you like the Rem's and some like the Mos's. Here is the deal I am wanting to buy a shotgun for home defence nothing more. I want a 12ga. I want short, I would like to know how many rounds it can hold out of box? And if it can be increased and be legal? I also would like to know if I could put a pistol style stock on and is that legal? And last but not least I do not want to spend a lot of money on it. It will not be used very much at all. And for home defence hopefully never. But I do want a reliable gun. So to all: Which shotgun meets these specs? And which would you recommend? Thanks to all Stan..
