I'm looking to add a good old fashion pump shotgun to my home defense armada. Where is the best place to get one? What kind would you recommend? Don't need anything fancy.

Look online at Palmetto State Armory, good selection.

So many good options available today, but I think the smart thing is to know your budget, needs, wants, and stick to it. Don't overthink it. Stick with tried and true manufacturers like Mossberg, Remington, Winchester, etc. Don''t go cheap (unless that is all you can afford), and don't buy something that is too tricked out or tactical. Think flashlight, side saddle for more rounds, and shorter barrel or stock for indoor purposes. There are going to be a ton of great references coming on this thread, so take some time and do your homework for the right purchase. Get comfortable with the action, get comfortable cleaning it, get comfortable shooting it, and stow it away safely for when you ever need it, and I hope you never do!

Wood?

Love 20ga Rem 870s. Have 10 or so set up for different things. And a 28ga Rem 870. I keep an eye out on Texas Gun Trader, Gunbroker, 2cool, TexAgs.

Dang, I remember when these were $199.99

Yep
Bought my 870 at academy in 1999 for $200 plus tax

You couldn't pay me $500 for that gun right now.

Reliable workhorse and almost zero maintenance

Superior in Longview has a mossberg 590 retro right now. I have always wanted one. Old school looking pump 18" barrel , wood furniture. Pretty sweet

There's a few models of firearms that we cannot keep on the shelf…Remington 870 is one of them. If we have an 870 on the shelf longer than a few days then it's overpriced.
