Tactical shotguns with raised sights?

January 10th, 2010 by eranio

I’m looking for a shotgun with a raised sight w/ a pistol grip

Does benelli, beretta, or any other manufactures sell semi auto or pumps with raised iron sights already attached or is this an after market choice?

could you provide the models

    Well, most hunting shotguns come with a medium height vent rib. This isn’t too high.

    Most home defense shotguns will come with Ghost Ring sights. These provide the fastest target aquisition possible. They call it Ghost Ring because if you properly focus on the front sight through the middle of the ring, the ring "disappears" from the line of sight.

    Try to get a pump. Auto’s are not the best choice for defense. With a pump, jams happen less often than auto’s, which is something you want to happen. Less jams = Less chance of you dieing.

    The only auto I would consider is the Benelli M4 (M1014). I have one and its a dream for home defense. The look of it alone would make an intruder sh*t his pants.

    Models: Benelli M4, Mossberg 590A1, Remington 870P MAX.

    Many if not most makers of tac shotguns offer ghost ring sights

    If not they are available aftermarket

    The Mossberg 500(persuader?) tac gun is already pre drilled and tapped for them

    Benelli makes both pumps and semi-auto shotguns with pistol grips and ghost ring or aperature sights. Remington and Mossberg both make pump shotguns with pistol grips but standard bead sights, Mossberg offers a ghost ring sight shotgun but without the pistol grip. After market pistol grip stocks and ghost ring sights are available for both the Mossberg and the Remington.

    I happen to be a fan of Mossberg 500 and 590 shotguns. The 590 has the raised sights you asked about…. Avoid the Benelli and Beretta’s. Sure there nice but they are overpriced and not made in USA…. See Below….
