I'm not a fan of pistol grip shotguns.... even with Fiocchi 00 Defensive load buckshot, you've got to aim, because of the pattern & spread. I don't shoot pistols from the hip either, and a short bbl shotgun is just best.... FOR ME. Reduced recoil from hunting buckshot, but still potent.... Out of the 9 .30 cal pellets, 2-4 will penetrate all the way through a seasoned 2x6 .... and my 870 likes 'em
.
BTW .... don't underestimate the penetration.... always been a Cooper fan of big & slow for stopping power.... .45 ACP is better than .44 magnum .... 'cause Jeff said so
.
On the local news yesterday.... Local guy shot through his ceiling during a domestic dispute.... killed the person upstairs.... Now charged with murder.... Idiot
.
Other than a Marlin .357 (with JHPs), no rifles inside for me....
I don't go to ranges.... but I shoot enough to keep sharp .... I have rural property, and can also step over my back property line and be legal too fwiw.
I trust my dawg
