I've been looking seriously at one of these for HD.Are these shot guns worth the money or am I going overboard.
thanks

All the parts Wilson uses are available seperately from Wilson or Brownells. You can build the exact same shotgun yourself and save a few hundred dollars.

Overboard, I bought a K9, only to realize I could have bought TWO Remington 11-87's for the price! They are cool as hell though...

Overboard. Buy a Remington 870, 1100, 11-87, Mossberg 500, 590 or a Winchester 1300. Use the money you saved to buy another gun. MIKE.

Ditto for overboard. You can buy an 870 and an AR for what one costs, and the 870 will work about as well if not better.

Massively overpriced, like most of Wilson's stuff these days. I have a Wilson .45 I bought about 4 years ago before their last few HUGE price increases. It's a great gun, but I wouldnt pay what they are asking these days. They say their shotguns are smoothed up. Big deal. Shoot a couple hundred rounds learning your box stock 870 and it'll be just a smooth. Most of the parts Wilson adds are aftermarket and can be put on by anyone with a screw driver and some hex head wrenches. As for the ghost rings, there are better models out there IMHO. They usually run around $100 and any good gunsmith can mount them for you in an afternoon.
