home def
After much thought and experimenting with guns and loads I have gone to the following for in the home weapons;
1.12ga. pump with "bb" shot, full bandolier hanging from the wall rack (weapon is put on a wall rack and returned to safe in morning). Tactical light is attached to mag tube.
2. .38 sp./3" barrell, first 3 chambers are shotshells, last 3 +P 158gr. wadcutters.
The .38 is primarily the wife's. The shotshells are as close to point and squeeze as you can find for the average size room. The pellets will most likely blind any attacker across the room and at closer distances an upper body hit will cause massive damage.
She and I have practiced with this gun and load for several years, and the pellet count on 20' and less targets is very good.
