KOPBET, no offense was taken. I meant what I said. I thought 00 buck was best, but from that thread you posted I was wrong. I will be changing out some shells.

I like a 870 Youth model 20 gauge for home defense. It is light and easy to shoot with one hand while the other hand is opening a door, and the short stock makes it easy to manuever in tight areas. A 20 gauge has less blast and recoil and fast follow up shots, and is still plenty powerful enough with cheap #3 Buck that you can buy at Walmart. Also, if you ever went to court over a shooting, it might be beneficial that it looks like a typical hunting type shotgun instead of a "Rambo Deathstalker Assault Blaster Deluxe"!
From someone that ran more than a few shooting in Wichita in the mid-90s: no, it is not. I also had some time in Corrections; birdshot (BS) is used because of the low potential for lethiality. Birdshot is "asking" someone to leave the premises.they showed 00 buck compared to some regular dove loads and according to the show the dove loads would be plenty sufficent
I use a Rem 870 with six 3" 000 buck and five slugs on the side saddle. I want to make sure that I bring enough gun to the fight "just in case"!
