I am NOT a big shotgun aficionado, so here goes.......
I own one shotgun. Winchester Model 1300 Defender, 3" 12 gauge chambering. It looks exactly like this one ......... even the same aftermarket stock. Mine does have a British military web sling on it.
www.gunbroker.com/item/691872567
It's stoked with Remington Home Defense 2.75" high brass BB loads. Kept with 7 in the mag ---- chamber empty. I admit I have neglected to pattern it, but at less than 30 ft., it should be OK, if I need it after one of my handguns or the Mini-14. It's my 3rd choice for in the house use. At outdoor ranges I would need larger shot.
My reason for owning it is obvious. The farthest I can shoot in my house without going through a wall is probably 30 feet.
I'm sure there are folks here who like shotguns more than I do.

I really like the Ithaca Model 37 best, and I'd like to have the Deerslayer Police Special version, but I'm OK with the Winchester. |

Both shoot smooth as silk, although I wouldn't use Winchester ammo in either. They neither one seem to like them. Would use either one for home defense and would not feel cheated at all. Chambers empty but three in the mag. 7 shot followed by 2 no. 4 bucks. both have a loaded 5 shot ammo sleeve on the stock. no. 4 bucks. Thinking Fred has the advantage with those eight shots.  |

I've consider going to #4 Buck but I've got a ton of #1 and double ought on hand. Probably should snag some #4 before the end of the year. I've got the 5 round sleeve on mine too for a total of 13. Why doesn't yours like Winchester?? I've never had a problem with it. |

I'm not really sure but I did have to actually take the Mossberg in a few years ago to get it 'ungunked' and the gunsmith said it was from using Winchester shells. The Remington has jammed a few times too on them.. so I stick with Remington ammo exclusively mow. Nary a problem. |

If I do a tactical reload when I first charge the chamber of mine, I've got 7+1, too. But realistically I can't, since I don't keep spare ammo on the gun. |

I DO remember those slugs being quite accurate at 25 yards. |

I've always wondered if a 20 gauge would be enough shotgun for MY inside-the-house distances. It probably would but what the heck, I've already got the 12, so no need to switch until I'm 80, I guess. |

Nothing but hunting SGs. A cpl of older field A5 Belgium Brownings, along w an older A5 Deerslayer, a cpl of Franchis in 20 & 12, Win SX3, Rem 870 20 w a smooth bore slug barrel, that hangs around my BR, Rem 1100 Lt 20 and my latest a SKB Sporting O/U in 12 that I'll take w me to GA this weekend along w my Franchi sporting in 20. The 20s are great for my wife and one of my boys girlfriends at a time to shoot clays with. Very light shooting. Also have a .410 pump for rodent work and an old single shot break action in 20ga my boys started on, that also has a 28ga & .410 insert. The boys will thin the herd when they land somewhere permanent.

Not thinking morbid thoughts, but I guess it WOULD be neat to be able see your children enjoying their inheritances, especially when it is something they can actually use. |

50 yrs of buying, sometimes trading and getting stuff from my dad and uncles. All kept in a large safe w rifles and pistols. Soon the boys will clean the herd.
