My Saiga 12.

Show Us Your Guns

My Springfield XD .45 5" tactical.

Describe your gun.

Saiga 12 Semi-Auto 12 gauge shotgun. Tap-Co collapsible stock w/saw gunner grip, True Glow red dot, 20 rd drum mag with 2 3/4 Winchester 1 oz slugs, Tap-Co front rail system, Generic 3 point sling.

Why do you have a gun?

This gun is used for home protection and it's one of those just because I want one gun. I do carry a Springfield XD .45 5" tactical for self defense. The Saiga was purchased to ensure that i would not have to pump the gun every time I need to fire, plus you can buy some nice exotic ammo for 12 gauge.

Advice

  • Best home defense is a good home offence bring all your friends - I've got a big mag.

Where did you get your gun? Retail, inherited...

Got it at a gun show bone stock for $600. Have now spent $1,200 on the gun and accessories.
