My dad got his 870 at a gun raffle in PA when we were up for Easter one year. That gun has killed countless turkeys in my dad's hands. I use SxS shotguns for hunting, primarily, but I've taken that gun out quite a few times for fun.

I used it one year teaching Shotgun Shooting Merit Badge at the local camp. I typically didn't let the kids use it because it has an unusually hard kick to it compared to the OUs we had for them. If we had some extra time I'd use it to demonstrate the action (and take the opportunity to put a couple shells down range). Well, one week there was this hoss of a farm boy in the class who asked to shoot it. I figured he could handle it, so I shoved a couple of shells in and sent two pigeons flying for him. He took one shot that went way wide of the pigeon, put it on safety and handed it back to me saying "the hell with that thing!" I got a good laugh out of that. It was almost as good as my uncle winding up on his ass after shooting our 10 ga.
