The shotgun is an ubiquitous weapon in the arsenals of America; military, law enforcement, and civilian. They are supremely versatile and a quality model can be quite inexpensive when compared to a comparable quality handgun or carbine.

Few weapons are as flexible as the scattergun when it comes to the range of ammunition available. While a shotgun doesn't replace a good carbine in all roles, their tasks do overlap, and the shotgun is capable of much more than a lot of firearms gurus give it credit for.

  • Pump vs semi-auto vs break-action
  • Semi-autos: gas-operated vs recoil-operated vs inertia-operated
  • Pros and cons of various manufacturers' models
  • Differences between an 870 Police model and a non-Police model
  • Ammunition selection
  • Accessories such as sights, lights, optics, slings, ammo carriers, and stocks
  • Differences in chokes, backboring, and lengthening of the forcing cone(s)
  • Loading, unloading, and switching loads with various models
  • Use of different types of slings
