Right The amount of situations that the AR will come in handy vs the tactical shotgun are not even close.

And in most situations where the tactical shotgun would win, an old 12 guage would do almost just as well, and they are cheap.

The difference between 'on old 12 gauge' and a tactical shotgun is the capacity. I have both types - O/U Brownings for skeet/sporting clays/bird hunting and a Winchester 1300 Defender.

I would hunt with either of my O/U Brownings for sure, but for home defense, it's hard to beat the shorter-barreled Winchester with its eight-shell '00' buck capacity.

There's also something a little more intimidating about the sound of a pump-action being readied for use.

Very true, but for most home defense the tactical, imo, isn't necessary. It's not like you will be performing a swat raid or some shit. Personally, I'll stick to the good old model 12, 1 of the about 20 firearms I own.

I still want to saw down my double barrel 16 gauge and add a pistol grip, lol.

OK - here's a scenario which questions your choices and recommendations:

You have three or four armed intruders in your home, and you have two loaded barrels on your 'sawn-off' 16-ga plus a handful/perhaps a pocketful of spare shells.

Would you then feel comfortable in your home-defense choice, - or would you wish that you had the additional 6 shells in the spout that a pre-ban 12 ga. pump can hold.

How fast can you unload/eject spent shells/reload - in the dark/under pressure/adrenaline pumping like crazy ...?

20 firearms? I'd imagine you have an extensive and varied ammo collection with that many breeches to feed.

Most people that I've met with large and varied firearms collections (multiple calibers of pistols/revolvers/rifles and smooth-bores) tend to be 'Jack-of-all-guns, - but Master-of-none'.

It's tough to stay second-nature, reflex 'sharp' with too many formats/calibers/grain weights/shot loads etc., to stay on top of and range-practice with, - don't you find?
