I still have my late father’s Win Model 12 that was built in 1925. Has a 26” barrel with a very choke that was popular in the day. Very smooth action.Worst sale decision I ever made was as a stupid 18 y/o I had bought a Winchester pump at Wanamaker for next to nothing. That guns action was so smooth it would almost half rack on the shot and you could run it just stupid fast and never short stroke it…that’s one of the only ones I regret selling.
Maverick will also let you barrel change, so if you decide to chase down turkeys instead of hoodlums, you have that option on the cheap.I have an SDS S4 which is a Turkinelli clone. It works fine for me esp with slugs and buck. The cheap birdshot is kinda iffy, moot point for SD but worth mentioning. I also have a Mossy Magpul 590A1 as well, very nice gun but I prefer semi autos. I’ve thought about the A300 ultima patrol over the 1301 due to price. The Mav 88 security always goes bang and for around $200.
Because tactical is tacticool.What are you gonna do tactical with it?
I may know someone who really likes the 1301. I grew up as an 870 guy and may have one or two of those as well, but man, the 1301 for as light as it is and the BLINK gas system is terrific. Now, you aren’t getting one for $1k, but if you stretch a little, you’re there. The A300 Patrol is new, around $900, and may be good. Just not enough feedback on it yet.
I don’t think you could go wrong with an 870PM or M590A1. You just have to train, train, train in order to rack the slide without short stroking it.
That being said, a shotgun is down the list for defensive firearms for us.
