I love my new shotgun
After seeing the chaos from Katrina and the failure of law enforcement to, well, enforce the law, I decided I needed a more powerful weapon than my 9mm HiPower or Mini-14. I knew I wasn't going to need a rifle for long-range, so a shotgun it was.I read my 1997 Gun Digest looking for good models and then went on the internet. I quickly realized there were many choices and I needed to make a list of key features. The key feature list is below: 1. I decided to go with a pump versus automatic because a) it works well, and b) it makes that oh-so-threatening noise when a shell is jacked into the chamber. And you KNOW it if you have ever heard it. I looked and found the best were the Remington 870 and Winchester 1300. I have owned several Remington revolvers (Mod 29) and decided to stick with a Remington. In a local pawn shop, I found a model 5077. This was exactly what I wanted: a black, 18", 7-shot 3" pump shotgun . Sa-weet. I have added sling mounts and a 15-round sling, as well as a small light next to the barrel. I am not looking at it, but I am smiling thinking about it. I wonder what kind of weapons Aris has?
