I found this and it really sums it up, I have a 12 gauge in my closet on the door, next to the bed, I recommend them highly for HD.
This guy summed it up well.
Quote:I have 34 years in Law Enforcement. I shoot at least one match a month. I regularly carry a Colt's SAA with a couple of extra rounds. If a person feels they need a 15 shot Semi-auto and 2 or 3 extra mags that's fine with me. I was in 6 standup gunfights in my career and never fired more than 4 rounds.
I don't feel under gunned with a SAA. If I knew I was going to be in a fight I'd take a shotgun, wouldn't we all? :end quote.
A decent pre owned shotgun can be bought for $200.00. It really is worth the investment you are covered as long as you don't have little ones running around. Your chance of a hit are better and no one sticks around when a shotgun comes out.
