Shotguns today are sort of like water, they seem to run either hot or cold based on the current vogue or what's hot or considered cold in the firearms market. Like all present-day firearms technology there as been a massive amount of accessory add-on attention paid to them over the last few years. Shotguns have had a lot of tactical stuff added to them whether they needed it or not and sometimes current buyers of new shotguns are awe struck if a plain Remington 870 shows up at the range dressed in it's 20" plain barrel with a beaded sight.
"I've never seen a shotgun like that before, where's all the good stuff?" Good stuff being interpreted as the flashlight, the extra shell holders, folding stocks, magazine extensions, safety extensions, ghost-ring sights, red-dot sights mounted on a Picatinny rail and last, but surely not least, the tactical one-point attached sling. Tacticaled out, they weigh in the 10- to 15-pound range unloaded.
This post may win, the most stupid post of the year award.
I use a 20 ga pump. I only shoot decoyed birds and I don't need a 3 1/2 inch 12 gauge or a 10 gauge to do it.
