[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2981656, member: 5412"] I know a farmer that had one arm, the other lost in a baler accident. He used an 870 around the house, could basically throw it in the air, catch the forearm, jerk it vertically to rack the slide and then throw it back in the air to catch it on the grip and move it to his shoulder. One can also use a chair back, mattress, between the knees, etc to rack the slide in an emergency when one arm has been incapacitated, but during a home invasion, or somebody coming down the hallway at night, can you really justify the time it would take to perform the operation of an 870 one handed? Its not an impossible task. It is not IMHO a satisfactory weapon for home defense. [/QUOTE]
