I've been thinking of getting a tactical shotgun, mostly because I think they are pretty cool. Besides playing around, what do you use your tactical shotgun for? Do you hunt with it or is it only a range toy?
What do you use your tactical shotgun for?

I bought a Mossberg 500 combo with 18" barrel and 28" barrel that I upgraded with a with a Hogue stock and forend and also bought a Hogue pistol grip.
So at home I keep it with the pistol grip and 18" barrel and a light attached... and when I go out shooting in the bush I put the stock on and the 28"
Best of both worlds....
Oh BTW if you get the combo you have to get and want to change the forend you have to get an action tube because the 500 combo comes with one that is not detachable

14" bbl, I put wood furniture on it and a leather shell holder, and an XS sights tritium glow in the dark "Big Dot T" front sight. It's a do-all that doesn't make the Fudd's sh!t themselves - looks wise, it's what we would have called a "sleeper" back in 80s car lingo - all go, no show.
Bush gun/bear protection while fishing.
Put a plug in it to limit the magazine and it takes grouse in the fall.
Rides around in the quad for CQG work (close-quarter-gophers) and knocking down crows and magpies.
Fun for blasting around at the range as well.

Mostly bush/range carry. When your range is either an abandoned gravel pit in the middle of nowhere or an even more remote cutline, it's good to stay armed at all times. Any given trip I find everything from either the lynx or bobcat that lives in the bush just beside the pit, moose (they can be #######s) black and brown bear, cougar and the most common is wolf tracks. Some as big as my hand. All in a several km radius. I also hike and quad in the area so it's nice to have a short shotgun. Last year was an 8.5" grizzly, this year it's a 14" 590A1 both with Magpul stocks and carried with a BFG VCAS.
Tactical is just a paint job. And maybe a bayonet, but that is detachable. So you can use it to fire shot.
Gary: Shotguns? What, like guns that fire shot?
Barry the Baptist: Oh, you must be the brains of the operation. Yes, guns that fire shot.

Tactical ninja bear defense system. Anything less would be silly.

Polar bear on the shore line. Looks familiar .... I served two years at CFB Churchill. A shotgun would have been more useful than the Browning 9mm or Colt Python I was packing on week end jaunts on the tundra.
As for packing a shotgun in BC, I believe that it had better be plugged to hold no more than two rds - unless you are loaded with buck shot or slugs to comply with the migratory game act.

Cool pics of the Bear. I spent sometime in that area, Churchill & also the Belcher Islands. A lot of people don't know the polar bears are one of the more dangerous bears... tourist think they look so cuddly, yeah go give one a hug
