Just want to know which of these yall think is best or prefer for a home defense weapon and weigh the pros and cons of each.
FWIW, a shotgun with the right ammo can easily bring accurate fire onto a subject at 100 yards with a little training, something few can do with a handgun.The reasoning, being, the limited range of the shot gun.
I believe that is also more a matter of training than anything else. For most folks a shotgun can be brought into action just as fast or fastger than a handgun.The pistol was more convienent and faster to get in action.
If you have equipped it properly, you are going to sling it and get it out of your way.what are you gonna do with the shot gun while you search and cuff the bandit.
Not trying to bust your chops either, as everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I hate to see so many of the old myths about the shotgun that are still tossed around today. The biggest problem with the shotgun, IMO, is that few people have been properly trained on it, and that includes LEOs.I dont mean to start a fuss though I know I'm gonna get flack, but this is my opinion.

The orignal comment was "what are you gonna do with the shot gun while you search and cuff the bandit", and had nothing to do with wrestling. If you are needing to wrestle, don't sling the shotgun, use it to help you subdue the BG. Goes back to that training process again.Oh yeah, thats right on the top of my list of fun things to do, wrestling around in some alley with some joker while having a shotgun slung to me.
