If I find the FC ammo, I may have to see how it works in a Vang barrel.
Frankly, the Federal F127 Premium is very good in my Vang. All nine pellets into 3" at seven yards.

pretty much best price + shipping combo. Those FC are beyond ridiculous. I'm talking one ragged hole at 7 yards and minute-of-heart to minute-of-lungs at 50 yards with all pellets accounted for. I stopped testing after that. The low recoil enables you to pull that performance with rapid succession on multiple targets. Makes me want to try them out of a Benelli M4.
On that same page, the Winchester Ranger slug also gives excellent performance. Out of that 18" 870 with ghost ring sight, you can repeatedly place head shots at 100 yds once you figure out the hold off

It's pretty readily available at Gander Mountain, Cabelas, Bass Pro, etc and online at Midway and Brownell's and runs $5-7 per box of 5.

Maybe in your AO but it's not that way everywhere and online, it's hit and miss if you can get it while its in stock. I like that I can feed my VC gun anything I am able to find and get good results. To me, thats one of the strong points of the mod.

They should rename this low-recoil-buckshot to: FBI, Secret Service, ATF and General LEO Woman's Buckshot. If you look into the reason this low recoil buckshot was invented you'll find its because women cannot handle a 12 gauge shotgun, (and some very sissy men).

I was just looking at one too.
I have no need for another tactical shotgun, but need and want don't often agree. Their tactical in A-tacs AU is on sale for $499 and I'm a sucker for that camo. I don't need it to blend in, I just like it. I want a Benelli M4, but keep getting sucked in to $500 deals and then end up wishing I had just bought the Benelli.
Anyone here have a Benelli they want to trade for a few shotguns, rifles, pistols, etc. please don't hesitate to contact me 
Mike

Agreed and would add ; manufactures have also attempted to make it sexy by renaming it Tactical Buckshot or Tactical Rifled slug. I have a semi-auto 12.5 inch Benelli M1 short barrel shotgun and the "tactical- police loads" will not reliably cycle the weapon. So becareful to those with semi-autos using the "reduced recoil" crap.

Like FF said, the Wingmasters make good tactical shotguns. Most budget friendly way to build one would be get it off gunbroker and piece it together. I saw a receiver for $45, and some complete 12 guages for about $125. You can probably also get one of the metal trigger guards as well instead of the newer plastic ones.
My 870 is a wingmaster that's been cerakoted, so it won't be rusting unless I throw it in the ocean or seriously neglect it. I like the Magpul forend more than the standard one that came with it. It's smoother and easier on the hands, not that it bothers me, but I have a wife to think about. It also allows for attaching lights or whatever I care to to it.
Vang Comp now offers a military/LEO active or retired discount now.

Anything with the word "tactical" can and will be marked up by 500%.............
I'm surprised we don't have tactical beer........ or tactical cigars....

You just weren't looking hard enough!  (Not really "tactical" but cool nonetheless.)

I think what you mean by "we don't have it" is that the SFA store doesn't carry them.
