Top Ten Best Tactical Shotguns

Studies show that a shotgun is the best weapon for home defense. While you could use a regular shotgun, the barrels are too long to be effective in confined spaces and sawing off the ends can be both dangerous to you as the shooter, and is generally illegal.

Below are the best Tactical shotguns you can use to defend yourself and those you love at home.
The Top Ten
Remington 870 Express Tactical

A 12 gauge with a short barrel that is tried and tested for home defense.

The Model 870 is my personal favorite.

Benelli M4

I have traditionally been a Mossberg shooter, but after much research and digging a little deep in the pocket, I purchased the Benelli M4. I will confess, this shotgun can shoot any load, feed and eject any shell (even when the barrel is hot from hundreds of rounds), and has immediate sight alignment when you put it to your shoulder.

I don't regret a cent, and I know this will be my multi-purpose shotgun for the rest of my life.

Used by the Marines, this semi-auto 12 gauge will set you back on the price, but it's worth every penny.

Mossberg 930 SPX

Another 12 gauge. You can affix a scope to this weapon to keep things easy.

Saiga 12 - SGL12-07

It's Russian, semi-auto, and has a detachable magazine.

Mossberg 500 Tactical Persuader

Simple and clean, this gun has a ton of attachments you can put on it too.

Mossberg 590A1

With a slightly longer barrel than others, it's affordable and easy to find. It also holds 9 rounds.

Used by the U.S. military for a reason.

Interstate Arms 12 Gauge Defender

Very inexpensive, but still quality and effective.

AA12 Autoshotgun

The most dangerous shotgun in the world.

Interstate Arms Hawk Model 982
Remington 887 Nitro Mag Tactical
