Maverick 88 vs. Stevens 320, Thoughts?

(1/4) > >>

Greatguns:
Wanting to pick up a home defense shotgun. Something I'll probably plink around with and have for in the house. Looking for your opinions on pros and cons between the 2 mentioned products. If you have another brand in the same price range feel free to add that in.

auskip07:
i would go to the store and hold one.  the maverick 88 felt like a rattle trap.   I havent held a stevens 320

Greatguns:
I held both in the Conventional synthetic stocks and they felt about the same. They were in 20ga, but am not sure if I want 20 or 12. Want to make sure the wife can handle it if need be, but I know there is more available in defense rounds for the 12

owenj492:
Consider a Mossberg Shockwave, perfect size for home defense, I got one when they came out and I love it, shot 8, 9 pellet and slugs with no problems, since it is not a shoulder fired weapon, it's easy on the body, there is a ton of aftermarket items for it also, it's 5 + 1, I keep mine by the night stand, the only issue right now is the price because of all the panic buying. Might be able to find one for trade on armslist.

I would be concerned my wife being able to handle it. She is a pretty petite lady not at all confident with firearms.(Yet) Plus, I don't like the price of the Shockwave, LOL.
