I could care less about looks... but a friend recommended one to me a while back, as I don't own a firearm but would like something for home security. <br /><br />He showed me an ad from Cabella's - they had a "just-in-case" model that has a pistol grip, also comes with a carrying case for camping, etc. and it listed at the time (about a year ago) for a reasonable $300 or so. It apparently also could be fitted with the standard shoulder stock if one preferred a classic shotgun.<br /><br />Any comments or thoughts, if you're familiar with such? Like I said, not owning anything.. I thought the pistol grip might be nice in a home environment, yet the shotgun increases the odds for someone in the heat of a moment as compared to a pistol. Eventually I'd probably own a .38 revolver and / or 9mm also, but I thought the Mossberg might be a good starting point. <br /><br />Thanks for any insight...Solomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934220245789538762noreply@blogger.com
