[QUOTE="Blue Heeler, post: 3755839, member: 46613"] Semi-autos like the Beretta 1301s or Benelli’s are great. My “Captain Obvious” comment is with training, a good pump gun will work too. Pump guns have served our LEO and military since before WW1 and have put many a man down. You made a great choice with that 12ga. pump gun. Home defense stats are that you have a 79% chance you will have one assailant. If shots are even fired, it will be between one and two (and I don’t think they mean a half shot). Of course, if you took college stats you can pick that stat about for hours. I like to keep a shotgun loaded (along with a couple of handguns including a CMMG Banshee in 9mm) for home defense. I have a choice of shotguns ... a Stoeger 12ga Coach Gun tuned by Jim Finch, a 26” barrel on a Winchester Model 12 made in 1925 (with a VERY open choke) and an 8 shot Mossberg 590A1. What I keep loaded 24/7 is the Coach Gun. Old school for sure but I don’t have to worry about it being short-stroked of jamming because the mag spring took a dump. Great triggers and with Jim Finch’s magic it is an amazingly smooth little shotgun. I am not “Cowboy Action” fast on the reloads but with a speed strip of 12ga. Shells ... it’s pretty quick. Besides, I have a handgun and a mean wife so I don’t feel under-gunned. Semi-auto, pump or side-by-side ... can all work with some practice. [/QUOTE]
