i very much have to disagree!

buckshot is best for home defense. i suppose you'll want reasons so i'll list them here so you don't have to waste a post (i know how you hate when that happens).


1) wide dispersal pattern
....a) you're frequently in a low light situation
....b) you've likely just waken up
....c) your nerves/adrenaline will make accuracy tough
....d) multiple perps? if they are near each other, bonus!

2) lower projectile speed/low penetration depth
....a) got kids or neighbors that you like? then you probably don't want bullets penetrating through the walls!

i'm sure there are others, but these are all the reasons i need.



Actually you couldda just said it and I wouldn't have cared but, since you insist....

1. YAY, I get to shoot up my house
I'm used to shooting with adrenaline pumping. In the close quarters of a house, buckshot doesn't really have time to spread that much, so unless the guys are hugging, I'd doubt you'd hit two. Actually I'd rather just use a pistol as it would be easier to fire in a house. If I was using a shotgun, it would be because I had time to get it, load it, etc. rather than grab the pistol of the night stand.

2.No kids or neighbors that I care about that much. I'd rather just drop the bad guy.
