Hello!! I have just purchased my first 12 gauge shotgun for home protection. What is a good tactical flashlight mount for a H&R Pardner tactical shotgun? Thanks for your help in advance.

Going to have to go with duct tape, based on your choice of the rig.

Despite other comments, about anything that would work on a Remington 870 will work on the Pardner. I assume you mean the P3- Pardner Pump Protector?

Are you familiar with Blunderbuss Technology? they make a mag tube extender that fits flush to the H&R P3 muzzle. Of course, like any reputable modern Remington, there are dimples in the mag tube that need to be driven out/removed to allow a magazine extension.

Another idea- you can swap to Rem 870 wooden Riot stocks if you wish to invest.

My P3 cost under $125 new, so I spent some money on stocks and other stuff.

Now- as you have seen, some put the H&R Pardner down.

There are also people who slam Remingtons, or Mossbergs, or anything that isn't their own personal fav.

The H&R isn't as refined as a Remington 870, but it should be just as reliable- and probably absorb recoil better with that heavier receiver.

I have a few pumps of different brands/models. I prefer the H&R P3 for HD use, as I am convinced it is just as reliable in my hands as my 870 SuperMag [3.5" shells hurt me too much], and I won't care much if I have to turn it over to the LEOs while they verify I was justified in saving my wife's life.

I might be upset at possible damage to a Winchester Model 12, or something of similar higher quality.

Yet- a P3 is an HD shotgun, where you have to be able to hit the target at distances that probably leave the wad striking the target as well as the shot. With a bit of attention, the P3 can be as smooth as an 870 Express, and probably just as reliable.

I don't have a light mount for my P3, yet. However, I am more worried about the recoil and possible damage to the light itself.
