I know, I know, you can't hit the broad side of Tarnation with a pistol grip shottie. Right now I have an 18 inch barrel Remi 870 that I LOVE, but I live in a town-home in the city, and my house is very narrow and long, only about 1000SF. If trying to get from my bedroom to the 1st floor of my house, I have to make a couple of REALLY tight corners and a shotgun is just plain in the way. I would use a handgun, but my house is connected to other peoples and those rounds will just zip right through dry wall. So I use #4 buck. If I make it to the first floor, using my stairs as cover, it's about 35 feet give or take to the front door in an area about 15 feet wide.
Any suggestions? And don't say frangible handgun ammo because I know of at least 1 shooting involving Magsafe ammo that the guy was hit 3 times in vital areas but it didn't penetrate enough to kill him or stop him.
Perhaps a carbine? But wouldn't that over penetrate?
