Which shotgun for home defense?
Mossberg 590A1? OR
Remington 870 Tactical? OR
Winchester SXP Ultimate Defender?
None of the above.
Recently viewed a police documentary wherein a home owner, with shotgun in hand, coming down the stairs, encountered an intruder coming up the stairs with knife in hand. Home Owner pulled the trigger but nothing happened, as he tried to chamber a fresh round, intruder jumped him and a terrific fight ensued. Homeowner was murdered. Recall another incident, woman encountered an intruder in hallway and fired her shotgun, missed and was tackled by the intruder. Woman was murdered.
Since this is a shotgun forum, (and if I had to use a shotgun), my choice would be a sxs coach gun.
