Chris, from your comment above, you probably are familiar with another piece I
have, a S & W 67-1 Combat Masterpiece. I understand was an aircrew favorite
for many years.
I also chose an 870 for in-the-home use, but mine is a 20ga. With a goose
load, it has pretty impressive firepower. My late wife always wanted another
410ga., but all I could find had barrels that appeared to be very delicate.
Not like the old Stevens 410/22 that I had as a youngster.

Speaking of simple weaponry, I'm interested in finding a fitting for the
muzzle end of my 870 12ga so it can be pressed against a door without causing
the barrel to explode. Anything such as that available?
