Would you buy this? If so for how much?

No. I would say they want your first born in trade for that. Pure home defense, I will take a police model 870 with cylinder bore and alternating load of 00 buck and rifled slugs. Remember, 00 spreads 1 inch every yard, and slugs are very accurate at 50 yards. So if you slow them down with buckshot, you can finish the job with a 1 oz slug. Just my 2 cents.

I'd probably go with one off these if I was looking for a home defense shotgun....I'm a semi-auto guy.

This design is tactically superior with its detachable magazines and auto-loading. It has a greater capacity and cuts reload time. And its made in America, in Idaho, instead of Turkey. For the low low price of 2,800.......

It looks like something from the movie Aliens!

That is a LOT of shotgun if you are just looking for home defense. A Mossberg 500 works just as well, at a fraction of the price.

I have a Remington 870 Tactical Express 12 GA with Ghost Ring Sights with a Six Round Tube, Side Saddle with six additional rounds, and a recoil reducing stock.

When it is loaded, there is 6 rounds of 00 buck in the tube, 4 slugs and two 00 Buck in the side saddle. When loading based on need, I can just jack a 00 buck into the chamber or drop a slug in.

It is the same configuration I use in my Patrol Vehicle.
