There are a lot of other good shotguns for defensive work that are cheap as well. I just have a knuckle bustin win 97 solid frame riot...The clack clack racking of that thing is sure to instill the fear of GAwd into anybody.
Lots of people are into Double guns..where the sky is the limit on valuation.
Years ago a friend took me over to a purveyor of doubles, Ivory Beads in Covina, CA. We were sitting in the gun room sipping on some Scotch and smoking cigars when one of the partners went into the back room and brought out 4 doubles putting them down on the table. Those 4 guns represented 500K. Three Parkers and a Fox.
One of the partners said that he knew about and was after one of the Parker's for 35 years. When finally it walked in the door and he was able to buy it for himself.
As for OU's I have a couple..a Browninh B125 Feather weight..and a Godfried Juch Ferlach
