any good shotgun should cover 99.99% of need IMHO, for general home defense. some of the tactical shotguns that are mag fed, and holding a higher capacity, do make me appreciate how much hurt a tactical shotgun loaded with slugs or buckshot could put down fasts. has to be, if not very competetive, as the type of firearm that can simply throw out the most hurt at medium to close range real fasts. a few spare mags and those things are ridiculous for a home defense weapon, you could likely fend off a medium sized team of 6-10 that decided to rush your home IMHO, although - that is not something that currently happens as far as i know.
