If you have more than 634 shotguns, that's too many. Anything less is acceptable. That's my $0.02, anyway.

I'm not a shotgun guy, but I've got one of each type: semi, pump, break-open, O/U, single-shot, mag-fed and even a convertible (M3 Super90).

Just you, in my case. Aside from a Remington 1100 20g my grandmother (of all people) gave me, I have no shotguns. I've had an 870 Police Magnum and a 590A1 before, but never kept them for long. I really should have one, but I find handguns and rifles to be easier to use and maintain my skills with, have faster reloads requiring fewer fine motor skills, and they have lighter recoil. For whatever reason, shotguns have never really "clicked" for me, which is a shame as they're relatively inexpensive to shoot unless you're using a lot of buck or slugs. Maybe I'll have to change that sometime.

lol, never too many, lets see, about 124 side by sides, at least 25 over and unders, probably at least 75 plus pumps, and around 30 single shots, a few dozen semi autos, about a dozen black powder, and a few that would be hard to catalog, as they look like semis, act like pumps, but are single shots. from back in the hay days of invention.

i haven't counted actually, but know that it fills a lot of wall hanging space, wall rack space and quite a few safes.

now have i shot them all, probably not, i'm a side by side and over and under guy, the others just showed up like a found dog, i fondled them, and had to have them, just the way it is.

and the rumor is: he who dies with the most, wins something. .............er doesn't he.

No.

He who does with most, still dies and nothing more.

I am a huge shotgun fan. Talk about a do all weapon. Can hunt everything from small animals to flying birds to big game. Then to boot a devastating self defense firearm as well. As I get older however all my rounds are going low recoil and I require my shotguns function with such ammo. My Benelli M4 is my favorite and is 100% with low recoil ammo.

A great tool for many applications. Collect and use all of the shotguns that you like - however, it seems that they generally hold their value less than other types of firearms.

There is no such thing as "too many" of any gun. As many as it takes to make you happy is the correct amount to have.

"Too many" is a relative term.

In comparison to handguns and rifles, I’m fine, on their own, I have what I need for functionality.

My favorite for HD is a Glockmonger Saiga “I voted today” super compact, For hunting a Benelli pump, an M4 for competition that I no longer run but love it, and a Remy 870 Tac to keep the Monger Saiga company.

There are a couple other that assist as ballast in the safe.

No such thing as "too many shotguns"...or rifles/pistols/ammo either.

As long as such isn't causing financial or relationship problems.
