Close friends of mine found out they were finally pregnant after trying for a long time. He's been talking about buying a shotgun for home defense. As a congratulatory gift, I'm going to buy him the shooter.

I think I've settled on the Remington 870 Synthetic for reliability and price. What are your thoughts?

Also, what are the the best shells for home defense?

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.

Yeah but where can you find #1 shot at a "normal" gun store in the OKC area? The biggest selection i've been able to find has been an assortment of 00, 0, 8, 7.5, & occasionally 7 shot for a 12 gauge.

I live in an apartment and am worried about overpenetration for obvious reasons so for now I am loading up on birdshot. I can live with penetration of "only" 4-6 inches.:sunbath:
