Must be something new this year.

Have you actually practiced with Yours?Has anyone mentioned the shorty's? Remington 870 tac-14, or Mossberg shockwave? I have a mag fed tac 14. If using a shotgun for home defense, I doubt you'll be aiming anyway, so these shorty's seem like good options for inside the home

Unless you have a really short barrel....Have you actually practiced with Yours?
It’s a popular misconception that “you don’t have to aim“
They pattern a lot tighter at short ranges than you realize.
Yup. Pistol grips look cool but are nasty to shoot. Better to prune the stock on a maverick or mossberg to fit your frame.I would highly suggest you shoot some first. Especially if you are considering a pistol grip model.
Some stuff is worth saving up for. Nice thing about the 88, you won't lose much value over what you paid so if you decide to move up you have about the same $ to use to do it when you sell the 88.I’m sure you are right, but they are more expensive.

Some people say that such a gun is “useless” for home defense. I have a light/laser combo on mine and can put 5 rounds of 12 gauge 00 Buck in the A-zone from the hip pretty damn fast. “Useless” really doesn’t come to mind in this role.
I much prefer handgun for at home. Far easier to manipulate and move with. Weapon Light is an easy add on and simply to use.
Try moving through a house (hallways opening doors etc) with a shotgun. Without a lot of practice it’s more challenging than most would think.
Pump guns are slow, heavier, bigger recoil, and harder to move with.
Just my 2cents

I do agree with the semi-auto shotgun point for rate of fire/knockdown power. But I’ve seen a lot of pump guns mentioned throughout the comments. I agree it can be a great option situationally in a dwelling with space to move.A properly fitted shotgun should be "pointed" every clay shooter knows this. in all seriousness Red dots are the way to go on tactical shotguns now IMHO.
In an apartment 100% I agree, for a house the Shotgun is king aside from a suppressed subgun IMHO. But I designed my house to be very easily cleared by a 18.5" shotgun. Also in this day and age we use semi automatic shotguns, rate of fire is a non issue, and I hate to sound like a fudd but if you can't get it done with 8 rounds of OO Flight Control you have messed up somewhere in life.
I agree, for HD scenarios. Much easier to snatch up from next to the bed, and easier to turn tight corners like my 75 yr old house hasI've got a 500, 88 and Shockwave. I prefer the Shockwave due to its size.
Maverick 88 is a little rough shooting if your a smaller personMaverick 88 may be an option?
He's just saying to feel it out, when you talking about shotguns they all feel a little different to shoot, most of the American ones are cheap and reliable but they kick a bit harder than a Turkish shotgun the same price that will be covered in plastic and have a flimsy foregrip and a stock wrapped in a pillow, a lot of them also don't like to feedWhere to shoot? Can’t at the range near my house.
I do appreciate your feedback but this is not going to be my CC firearm. With that being said, of course I will practice with anything that I I have. I believe that’s very important.
Just asking opinions for a good quality inexpensive shotgun.
