[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4034861, member: 5412"] I have some 2 3/4" #2 lead I will give you next time you pass by. That being said, I would never use a long gun for clearing a home by myself. Too many blind corners where the perp could be hiding around the corner to grab the muzzle of the firearm and be in control from that point, using a pistol with the other hand to shoot you. A pistol can be brought into play much quicker than a long gun at port arms while moving through the home. Come to a corner, what's on the other side? What is going to get you on target quicker, a long gun or pistol? Yes, LEO uses long guns because they are a trained unit backing up each other with fields of fire. But the single home owner that wants to clear the home is better off with a handgun IMHO. That being said, if someone breaks into our home, we are going to hunker down behind the bed, call 911 and let the people that have long guns and training to clear a home come in and do their job. There will be a shotgun ready if needed. [/QUOTE]
