By the time all the works dont its going to be 1/2 the cost of the rifle to put a brake on it. Also expect 2-3 weeks down time to send it out have the work done and get it back ---

Dont even wanna go through the hassle of a carry permit honestly but would really like to get something to have around In NYS, there is only concealed carry permits, although most judges will put a restriction on it for hunting/target. Same process, it’s just all at the judge’s discretion. If you want something for home defense, get a shotgun. -Cossey on JVG’s name. ---

Yep, that’ll do the trick. Try to find a used one for a couple hundred bucks. Why wait 6-12 months and spend a bunch of money to get a pistol for home defense, when you can wait 10minutes at a gun shop and pay only the price of the shotgun, while having more stopping power? ---

Some local gun shops should have some used as well. One of the most common shotguns ever made. Check out a Mossberg 500 as well. Just as reliable and durable, but usually cheaper.

Not to argue with Cossey, but I’m not really impressed with the mossberg 500s. They have had a lot of issues with failure to fire, feed and eject in recent years. I own a 535 that came with a colapsible stock and a couple other nice options for the same price as the remington 870. Personally I would rather have the 870 over any other pump. Just my .02 though ---

I’m not going to argue about it, as like I’ve said it’s personal preference and I’ve never shot either of the guns to be honest. ---

Everybody has personal preference. I have a relative on my wifes side that is an active duty marine and said for actual combat use he would prefer the 870, but wanted me to sell him the 535 for a home defense weapon. This after talking about how reliabilty on a 870 is superior to the 535. So if somebody who has seen active duty and has to put his life on the line with a firearms is confident enough in the product to use it to defend his family if need be thats good enough for me. I just prefer the remington myself. I have both because my wife can shoulder and fire the 535 without issue, but the 870 is a little too long for her. ---
