Looking to purchase a home defense, 18.5" barrell shotgun.

Might just be bad timing with all the unrest but hard to find and when I do they are drastically over-priced.

I actually like the Mossberg Maverick as a low-price option.

If anyone has one they are wanting to unload in the Dallas area let me know!

I have a bazooka as primary weapon for home intruders...this would just be a backup...

Why do you want a shotgun for self-defense?

Mainly to expand the collection. I actually dont own a single shotgun. May never get used. Figured can't hurt to have one lying around.

Not sure i have major brand preference. I think Benelli would likely be out of my price range. Would like to keep under $500/$600 to be honest....nothing too fancy.

Grabagun Mossberg 590 Retrograde

You can set up an alert with Grabagun and they will email you when they get it back in stock.

ETA pumps are harder than many think in stress situations. Keep that in mind.

Just make sure you got the Meth-deterrent special. 1st shot - Birdshot, 2nd- buckshot, 3rd-slug.

If it's just gonna be home defense and not used much, I'd look at the Mossberg Maverick 88 defensive. I've got one and it's fine (and cheap).

I recently purchased a benelli M4 through TexasGunTrader. I was having the same trouble you're having as most retailers are out of stock on anything HD. There were several sellers on TGT that had HD shotguns for sale. Just have to wade through the scammers to find a real seller. Meet face to face at a gun range and don't mail anyone money.

That is the one i would like but obviously hard to be too specific right now with low inventory. Maybe just need to wait and pray Biden doesnt get elected...

If it is strictly a home defense shotgun, the Mossberg Maverick is just fine. It will do the job for home defense. The Remington Home Defense is a little finer but comes with a finer price tag too.

Short stroking, false belief that you don't have to aim, etc.

In T2, he used a lever action.

I remember wondering how he didn't blow his face off when spinning that thing around to load a new shell.

Completely forgot. You are right. Had to google to remind myself...

I had a Winchester defender that I married into, and out of. There was something about that gun, not to get sexual but it felt like it had a short smooth stroke.

pump action 12 ga. If they hear the chick-chick and decide to keep coming, Lord help 'em.

Mossberg is good.

Much like the best pistol to have I'm going to recommend The Judge.



Doesn't take up as much space and it spreads a lot of lead.

Purchased a Maverick 88 security today at Academy. 18.5". Accidentally dropped it in the lake on the way home. Oh what could have been.
