Who’s rocking shotguns next to the bed and what’s your go-to setup?

I used to rock a little shorty Rem 870 Tac14 variant (Surefire forend & Leupold DPP) but I’ve now switched full-time to a Langdon Tactical Beretta 1301 with an ACRO.

I need to get a new one. I had an 870 A-Tacs with the breaching choke but let that one walk a couple years ago. Shotguns are the ultimate suburban defense weapon.
Eyeing the 1301 very hard, but wondering if the increase in price is actually worth it over the A300 Ultima Patrol. Is it?

Is the 1301 a better gun? Yes. Is the money going to get you that much better of a shotgun? Not necessarily.
 
Not intending to start the Benelli - Beretta debate (though I did say Benelli first), I was not happy with the stock length on the 1301. It's all personal preference. While my 1301 runs fine, I prefer my Benelli.
 
Ive got a mossberg 590 shockwave that i swapped out the birdshead grip for a speedfeed stock and added a surefire forend. Its wild how bright that light is.

Which Benelli? Pics of the setup?
