[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 3360468, member: 6064"] As a shotgun "guy" I've got to tell you L.E. use of shotguns is terrible. Buckshot patterns are capricious at best, and even the very best loads will have a "flier" or two in the 15-25 yard range. Each one of those is a HUGE liability!.......YES!!!! I am including the flight control ammo! Most departments have a qual that requiers hip shooting....which is almost criminal negligence in application! They don't maintain them, they don't know how to load them, and they sure don't understand it's limitations. "Load them with slugs" they say, and yet most don't have sights! "You can't miss cause the pattern spreads out"! Is a common misconception, and liability in the making. Now with that said, if I was kicking doors and the first in I would want a shotgun with triple ought buck about 16-18" long with as many shells as that would hold. Lots of air in and lots of fluid out! Kind of like a .H.D. shotgun, I would want it to be a semi auto, and I would want trittum In the front sight with a light. An entry shotgun is just like an H.D. shotgun, and any buckshot from #4 up is king! [/QUOTE]
