Serbu "Super Shorty"

[Ironman]

I have one and its great for its intended purpose. To put big holes in things at close distances. I found that the Winchester PDX1 self defense shells hold a good pattern and do the best job in terms of self defense within 50ft. I keep mine in th 2nd drawer of my night stand and a handgun in the top drawer. I like having options.

I shoot it towards the end of this video....

Serbu for backpacking

I use mine for backpacking and another for my BOB. Compact & light enough for what it is and I have no issues with range & different loads. The shotgun is the most versatile weapon you can own. It's really personal choice. Now, I will admit, I'm 6'4" and weigh in at around 280lbs so the recoil is not really an issue unless you load the serbu with 3" mag loads not using the knoxx recoil absorbing grip. Your hand will pain! I carry 30-90 rounds depending on where I'm going. For home defense I use a 9 shot 00, for the woods I carry 3 different types of shells including the one mentioned, plus #4, 7-1/2 shells all 2-3/4". I disagree with the fact that the handguns rule with this issue. Unless your well qualified and accurate with the handgun the scattergun will/can save your life. Of course I'm talking "ass to risk" scenarios. Here's a few pics of my shotties...and yes, I'm a shotgun guy...most of the time.

Nice to see a couple of rifles there at the end, was getting worried.
I like the pump with the birds head - that is NFA as well, correct? I confess, I don't even own a single shotgun, but a SXS 20 for my wife is one thing we have thought about. For the scenario of backpacking, I might even consider a Mad Maximized SBS as OH-NO bear medicine. That Serbu looks like murder - that Knoxx grip almost looks like it slides? IS that a single point sling attachment at the back of it?

Some of them are NFA guns. I have the Winchester police defender in a 20ga as well, although not a true defender it's the most pleasure to shoot. The serbu fires like a 44mag and the knoxx grip takes about 50% of the recoil away, and yes, it does slide but you don't notice it. It handles great with one hand or two. I have the standard grip on both at the moment and honestly the recoil doesn't bother me. Yes, the knoxx breacher grip also has a single point sling attachment on the back. They are great little guns.
