Which 12 Gauge

I like the 870 over the 500. Now if you want super sexy.....Benelli M2 Tactical

I have one of these too! It is great but the racking of the 870 is more likely to scare away an intruder.

I don't think you can go wrong with either or...both great choices

How often do you guys carry? for those who do

[NeilSmith]

I carry all the time, except when Im working. I could but a body shop probably isnt the best environment for a handgun on a daily basis.

I would carry more often if I had a good carry gun lol....my 9mm Ruger is just too large for comfort. I think I'd carry more often with a 38 special or compact semi-auto

I started carrying with a Springfield XD.45. I have a Crossbreed Supertuck IWB holster for it. I am a small frame guy, only weigh 130 lbs soaking wet and I can conceal the XD just fine. My issue is the weight of it. At 14 rounds of .45 it can feel heavy on the hip especially when wearing a pair of shorts. So I got a Kimber Ultra Carry II .45 for Christmas. It is considerably smaller and 1/2 pound lighter. The only drawback would be the capacity is 7 + 1 so its cut in half from the XD. I really do like the 1911 though and may be trading the XD for a fullsize if I can get the right money.

I've had a Mossberg 500 for several years and have no complaints. My dad has an 870, no issues either. You really can't go wrong.

I carry a Glock 23 .40 in a Crossbreed Supertuck "look alike" that a glock forum member makes for half the cost. I bought it a couple days after my 21st birthday (2 years ago) and have shot probably 2,500 rounds through it at the range/back yard without any flaws! I've only added Trijicon night sights and polished the internals.

I also have a Browning Buckmark .22 in the nickle finish with the factory night sights and Houge grips and most recently a beautiful 1933 Mosin Nagant 91/30 with the Hex receiver! Its damn near perfect; scored it at a pawn shop for $125.
