What's your shotgun of choice?!

Browning BPS, the first time I pulled the trigger I knew it was something special. By the end of that session I could reliably smoke 3 clays in the air time and time again. Smoothest pump action (I tried them all) with the added bonus of somehow the geometry of the gun leaves you with no appreciable muzzle rise! You just swing to the next target. Keep in mind I'm not as good as this post makes me sound, It's the Browning! The other half of the question is this. You're in a dark hallway in your house with a bad guy in front of you. You pull the trigger the gun thumps your shoulder, you cycle the action. Because the muzzle doesn't jump and the action is so smooth the bead is still on the target. No struggling to reaquire the target you just keep pulling the trigger. My buddies and I all tried it out and agreed more accurate lead downrange in less time than anything they had seen. My only problem was getting the Browning back out of their hands:D
 
I have different shotguns for hunting,skeet,trap,sporting clays,and home defense,but the one that I have used for all of them at one time or another is my Remington 870 Wingmaster.It does everything well.
 
Hats off to the guys who picked the 1100. The most magical autoloader ever produced IMHO. Since 1963 over 6 million sold!
 
I am a short person (5' 6") with arms that are short even for my frame size. I have become very pleased with my Remington 870 Express 20ga. Youth with the remchoke system. The 21" barrel comes up on target fast and is accurate enough for 20ga. ranges. I really wanted to pick my dads 20ga. H&R Topper Jr. single shot that I have used for many years with a fixed full choke but I let brains over take heart in this case. Maybe it has something to do with the butt pad becoming harder than the wood stock itself from time.
 
Mossberg 500.

I'm a handgun guy but as we all know, every home should have a shotgun. I probably fire it 3 times month, between 30 to 60 rounds seeing how it's a SD gun and I like to stay proficient.
 
Hard to choose. I love my supernova for waterfowl. BUT, hard to give up the Ithica 37. First 12ga I learned to shoot with was my grandfathers 1947 Ithica....it's still going strong now.
 
I like the 870 just because it was my first shotgun. Mine has an 18.5 inch barrel and an extended mag tube with a folding back stock.
 
I'm old school, I guess. I still like my A-5.

New kid on the block. Ol' John Moses first had 'em made in 1903.
 
I have two:
A 35 year old 12 gauge Wingmaster and 20+ year old 1187 skeet.
Neither has ever gave me a bit of trouble and both will shoot whatever I put in them!:D
