Default Home Defense Shotgun

I've been wanting to get one for a little while now and was wondering if any of you guys own one or have any recommendations?

Got an ol beat up New Haven (M'burg knock off) that's ugly and rattles. Shoots like a dream tho.
Always remember that lights and lasers work two ways...

If there's one thing in the world that can strike fear and grab the attention of an intruder, it's the sound of a pump shotgun being jacked into battery in the dark...

Whatever you go with, make sure you go and shoot it with your defense rounds. I went out with my brand new mossburg 500 and had 3 brands of 00 buckshot. One of those brands would not extract correctly but the other two did just fine. You don't to find that out by surprise.
