Saiga 12 is an awesome home defense gun. Semi auto AK47 clone in 12ga 3in. But its pricey!. I use a mossberg 500 12ga. A CZ 75 BD in my nightstand and a Taurus 85 ultralight 38spl +p in the wifes night stand.

The Mossberg has home defense rounds.
CZ has SXZ's
Taurus has a staggered load of SXZ+p, Hydroshok, SXZ+p, Hydroshok,...

I've never been a huge fan of Mossberg shotguns (the ones I've handled rattled, but they worked every time), but this month's issue of Guns & Ammo Magazine has a good write-up on the new Mossberg 590 defense shotgun. They are good enough for the U.S. military and there's a couple different variations, so you should be able to find one that fits the bill.

They may rattle but they are dead reliable. Some of the new versions they are coming out with are sweet. Like the "roadblock" i think is the name of it. It has a muzzle brake that looks like it came off of a Barrett .50 cal.

The SXP

The Persuader

THe Cruiser

The Rolling Thunder

They also have the "JIC" just in case. It comes in a watertight floatable pvc tube with strap. Comes in a few diffent versions freaking awesome looking!




And that's just a sampling! Go check out there site.

i got an 870 with an 18 1/2" barell, 2 shot magzine extension, top folding stock and a couple other goodies on it, i leave it loaded with a bird shot then 00 buck and a slug to finish, i also got my .44 mag with 220 hollow points nex to the bed with the shotgun, and in my pickup i got my 1911 .45. id say if your worried about shootin your neighbor through the wall or something load ya some shells with rock salt, if that dont doit for ya use some nickles or dimes.

That's what makes them so awesome. They'll run in mud.

Dead reliable.

Thanks Bucket Truck, Im ordering the Mariner one. It will be....ummmm......hid. Also like the Saiga one. For what anyone may say about an AK clone ( And I have a saiga converted ak-47 too)....We have found them buried in mud. If you can clean out the barrel, kick that bolt open with your boot? That SOB WILL fire! guaranteed. and let's be honest, when it happens, we will ALL be forgetting about MOA groups and going directly for center mass. ( Of course some of us will be going for that apricot....and ya
'll know who you are......)
