[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 3176671, member: 684"] Seems like, in the defensive world anyway, that the good ol' scattergun has been dumped just like the .40 S&W cartridge, and I don't understand why. :scratch: With the .40, yeah, I get it. With today's materials and technology, I'm sure there is no "major" difference in the .40, 9mm or .45ACP in most social work performance. However, I personally feel like the 12 gauge shotgun, within fighting distance (10-21 feet) and the right load, is a more devastating weapon than ANY rifle round out there. Yeah, farther than 30-40 feet, the rifle reigns supreme, but an ounce of lead with a pattern about 10 inches in diameter will incapacitate an assailant with more devastation than a single rifle round. Maybe I'm wrong? Anybody? :anyone: [/QUOTE]
