Hey thanks for the website link. That is exactly what I am looking for. I have several hunting shotguns but that would fit the bill.

That is a nice shotgun and would be fast handling. I wonder what the overall length would be because if it is less than 25.9 inches (660mm) long it becomes a restricted weapon in Canada. Not that it is a big deal, you just might need to get a restricted license. I've always had one but never really needed it but you never know that is a nice shotgun........

That shotgun is non-restricted. It has a 18 1/2" barrel (doesnt matter that though seeing as its not a semi-automatic centerfire) but the overall lenght is listed as 28.75"

I knew the barrel length was ok but I was wondering about the overall length. Restricted firearms are more than just semi-auto center fire rifles!!!! Shotguns can also be a restricted weapon........ even with an 18.5 inch barrel, if it was less then 26 inches OAL it would be a restricted firearm!

Definition of a Restricted Firearm
According to the Criminal Code, a restricted firearm is:
* a handgun that is not a prohibited firearm;
* a semi-automatic, centre-fire rifle or shotgun with a barrel length less than 470 mm (18.5 inches) that is not prohibited;
* a rifle or shotgun that can fire when its overall length is reduced by folding, telescoping or some other means to less than 660 mm (26 inches);
* any firearm prescribed as restricted (including some long guns).

1895,
I know that, just my mind goes to the barrel restiction first then the OAL part.

I have a Mossberg model 50402. This is an all weather, all black short barrel 12 gauge that is used by the Glendale, AZ police department (and probably others). It has an 18.5-19 inch long barrel, ghost ring sights on the barrel, and shoots slugs really accurately. I can put five 1 oz slugs into a 9 inch paper plate at 100 yards using the ghost ring sights. It is a pump style gun and I have a side saddle mounted on the receiver which holds 6 shells for a quick reload. It also comes with swivels and a black sling. I have to tell you, it is one mean looking shotgun! I am sure it would be a good "personal protection device."

Solved the dilema. I bought the Mossberg 590. I have not had a chance to try it out yet but I think it should fit the task quite well.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
