Gun peoples: first shotgun.

Another vote for the Benelli Nova. I got mine 3 years ago mainly for waterfowl hunting. Barrels are very easy to interchange. All you do is unscrew the cap at the end of the magazine and slide it off. I've never had it jam on me, shortstroke it, or anything like that. My dad and brother both had mossbergs before me. My bro is tall with long arms and still short strokes it when pumping the next shell fairly often. My dad sold his gun about a year after I got mine and went with the top of the line benelli hunting gun and has never looked back. Also, benellis are the best balanced shotguns I have used. Comes up to your shoulder very naturally so you can get your eye down the sights the fastest.

I have used Mossbergs, Remingtons, and Benellis. I have no experience with Browning, but have heard great things also.

I'm telling you this...

Some fucker comes in my house... I'm going to paint the fuckin walls with their blood.

FUCK THEM!

My pump action is always loaded and next to my bed... But it only has 5 shells in it with buck shot. Guess if that isn't enough for the fuckers... the glock has 11 more 40 cal rounds.

For slugs, you're going to want a slug barrel. It has no choke and may or may not be rifled for greater accuracy.

Benelli M1s are semi-auto, but only a 3 inch chamber. I only use 3.5 inch shells for waterfowl and turkey. They are also like 800 dollars.

Yeah, it is a badass gun. My sister has one. My dad has the SBE2. He was looking to spend under 500 bucks on one.

I'm liking this:

Seems just about perfect for home defense. However, can it be easily altered for hunting use? It has a fixed choke barrel; can a longer barrel be swapped on and off for hunting?

Site says it has a 3" chamber. Does that mean it can fit all shells 3 inches and under? Does the size of the shell determine the number/size of pellets..?

The link is blocked at work so I cant see what model you are looking at.So I don't know if you can change barrels. If you are hunting turkey, you will not want a fixed choke barrel. You will want to put at least a full choke on that guy using #4 or #6 lead shot(if lead is legal in your state). If it is a 3" chamber, you can shoot 3" and 2 3/4" shells.
