[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 3876430, member: 27098"] Is the 12 gauge the best home defense weapon? Could be, however I have seen people have trouble with recoil and follow up shots. Also what's the spread of the shot over a 25 foot or greater distance? It's not as great as one might think. What if you are using slugs? I like the 12 gauge, there are many excellent ones and they do offer a lot of flexibility with ammo choices, however handguns and rifles may be a better personal choice for some for lack of recoil and maneuvering in a tight space.
