Quoted: so what exactly is the benefit of the wilson combat shotguns?
btw thank you all for your input

The only advantage I see for the WIlson over a gun you could build with all the same parts is the Wilson is ready to go. You don't have to source parts, wait for them to arrive and then install them. That's basically all the Wilson gun is, an 870 Police with a bunch of bolt on's.
For me, and many others here, half the fun of building is the building itself. You know, the pride and satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself. I think the price of a Wilson vs. the price of a build with the same parts ends up being less than $100.
I don't have a Wilson because of the above reasons plus my preferences for the bolt on's differ slightly. My 870 has the Trijicon ghost rings (the same as Wilson's. I got them from Trijicon but the say Scattergun Tech. on them), Tac Star side saddle, Vang Comp round head safety, Surefire 9 volt 918fa light, and Knoxx Compstock.For me, this is THE ultimate shotgun for blasting. The only thing missing is the Vang Comp mods (not the porting).
