I would hate to not mention my 1911, but if I have to pick a fav, my mossberg 500 would have to be it. I have a house full of guns, but if I lost my 500, I would be out of business. It's my baby, and it will do anything I need it to do. The slugs will group well at 75 yards, the buck will take out anything up to 40 yard. With the side saddle and hi cap mag, it holds 14 rounds. It shoots flares, been bags, rubber slugs, and I am told I will be able to get tazzer rounds soon.
