What is it about a shotgun addiction.....

[desertfox]

What are shotguns so dam addicting? Is it the Big bore? the massive about of lead you can through down range or down a hallway, the distinctive sound it makes when loading it? WHAT!!! WHAT!!!! I must know what is it that is driving my freaking addiction to shotguns!!!!!

Home Defense:

USAS-12
Mossberg 500AT
Mossberg 590A1
Remington 870 Magnum
Winchester 1300 Defender
Mossberg 590A1 SBS (waiting on Form 4 right now)

Competition:

Benelli M1S90

Hunting/Skeet:

Winchester 37 single shot
Sear and Roebuck 101.535 Bolt Action
SKB XL900 Semi-auto (this is one sweet shotgun for skeet and duck hunting)

I own 10 shotguns, and everytime I am in a gunstore I always catch myself looking at the shotguns......oh wait, make that 11 shotguns....forgot the 410 single shot Snake gun that is in pieces in the garage waiting on a overhual....this was a Boat gun from my days in the swamps of south Louisiana, not big loss if it got dropped in a river or anything.....

Now I want a couple Siaga Shotguns, yes I said Couple....12ga and a 410. I also think a Lever Action 410 would be cool to have also......If I keep this up I might actually have more shotguns then I do AR15s one of these days......I gotta stop.

edited to add the USAS12, how could I forget that beast.

the ferst step is to rid yourself of all your addictions......send them over to me:whistling:

[mitchshrader]

i own one shotgun. i'll buy another sometime, a spare is sensible.

own all the toys of whatever description you please, no problem by me..

But, if you're trying to convince ME to buy a dozen shotguns, you're out of luck to start with..

on the other hand.. if it's just your personal hobby? Rave on..

Hell, I have a box of rocks I've spent years collecting and thousands of dollars on.. not a very BIG box of rocks either..

try telling me to have fewer whetstones and i'll likely say something insulting.. i'd expect that sort of reaction if i dissed YOUR hobby..

only question I got is... do you keep an appropriate ammo supply for EACH gun?

High quality tactical shotguns are cheap compared to high quality handguns and rifles.

Scatterguns are great tools!

I thought that I was experiencing "acquisition issues" a couple of years ago when I bought/acquired SEVEN shotguns!

870(s), 1100, won a couple of Mossbergs.

Scatterguns are great tools! (Oh, I said that already. Sorry.)

I've got the itch for a SXS coach gun cut down to 18.5". Then maybe an O/U done the same way. Where does it stop? Just how many do I need? The only answer I can come up with is more than I have right now.

I do have a few cases or shotgun ammunition and a 12ga reloading setup. The hunting/Skeet guns have been in the family for awhile......so don't know if they count towards the addiction, the 410 is a door stop, maybe one day I'll carve a new stock and forend for it and refinish it out of boredom. I don't think I'll go out and buy a lever action SG, but if somehow I end up with one, I'll keep it.....But, I do want a Siaga, Partially because I would enjoy doing the conversion myself, and in hopes the the Siaga drum actually gets produced oneday. think my favorite is shooting skeet with the SKB.

[WellArmedSheep]

Yeah, I've got more shotguns than any other type of firearm in my safe. My next purchase is gonna be a shotgun as well.

[DogRanger]

They are the all around gun,,I got a few and wanting more. Same with me , every time I'm in a gun store I have to look at shotguns and check for deals.

Affordable, rugged, effective, simple, and just plain dam fun to shoot. Truly one of the great all arounders

I don't think the practical mind can avoid falling in love with them.
