Charles Daly makes a tac shotgun for right around 350 bucks.
I bought the combo for $279, and got a deer/slug barrel with sights and field barrel. Now I can just order the 18.5" smoothbore for HD use for $80. So, for $70 more than a persuader, I got 3 barrels, 3 chokes and a tapped receiver Mossberg 500, instead of a 'persuader' for 300.
It just made sense.
