You'll need to take out a second mortgage, though.

 

You should see if you can put together a WERA group buy and arm the BBS.



Okay, maybe not the best idea.

 

Cool looking weapon. Hope this doesn't hijack your thread, but I always have a problem when someone buys a gun under the guise of home protection. A shotgun is the best weapon for home protection. With any handgun or rifle you need to practice and be able to shot accurately in an emergency. With a shotgun you simply point towards the bad guy and shoot. You will hit him. I have been a weapons instructor with the US Navy for 8 years and the best weapon in a hallway (home) or passage way (ship) is a shotgun. It hits everything without the risk of killing your kids in the next room or the neighbors next door. Just my 2 cents.

We all have the right to own a weapon or two. Enjoy the gun, I looks like it would be fun to shot.

 

What shot and size?

 

Number 4 buck is often used. Less penetration thru walls as 000 or 00 or 1..somewhat wider of a spread(altho, there still not much spread when up close like house fighting)..but just as lethal at in-house ranges.

 

12 guage or 20? Use a choke?

 

Would disagree on the shotgun as the "end all" home defense gun. Especially for a woman of smaller size. Its unwieldy, even with reduced recoil rounds it can be a handful. It is prone to malfunction when an un-trained shooter doesn't rack it fully to the rear. My personal experience is that the shotgun is a weapon that requires a lot of practice to become proficient with.

 

Seems like an auto-loading shotgun would cure the faults that you highlighted.

 

It's funny that yesterday I watched an episode of Ultimate Weapons that has been recorded on my DVR for a while about the top ten close quarter weapons and this won.

I hadn't heard of this gun until yesterday. It is a cool gun but the main advantage of it is the lack of rise on full auto.

 

I think the phased plasma rifle in a 40watt range is the best for home defense.

 

Very cool weapon.

The truly best home defense is a dog.

 

12ga. no choke needed for in-home. At most, improved cyc.

 

Not sure if the link will work but its about an 11yo girl defending her home from done intruders with her mother's pink shotgun.

The autoloaders I have experienced have all malfuctioned at some point. While that alone is not a reason to own a particular weapon, the lengthy process of clearing that malfuction is. When that guns stops, you had better have another weapon to transition too. The only thing that would cure the faults of the shotgun is training and lots of rounds fired in a practical setting. Something I thought the OP was dismissing due to the shotguns perceived ability to hit its target without aiming.

 

We have run several tactical tests on our range (shoot house) and have found that in CQ Home Defense the weapon that actually resulted in the highest percentage of incapacitation of the assailant by the most diverse group (shooters, non-shooters, big, small, etc.) was the Taurus Judge with PDX ammo. It is simple, small, packs the punch of a shotgun and less prone to operator error or that tendency by untrained people to miss more than they hit when in home invasion scenarios.

The Kriss is an amazing weapon, we had a gentleman from there come out and show the teams and it was ridiculously easy to shoot well. We brought in the wives and girlfriends (most never shot a handgun) and they were all scarily accurate with it right out of the box. I would agree with the others though as it is not the best choice for home defense based on the need for precise shot placement.

You really can't beat a well trained dog... at least not without him biting even harder.:up:

 

anything bad about the mossberg mavrick series?

 

You are all a bunch of pussies. This is what you need.

 

Early Christmas present for us, a Mossberg 500 12ga pump action. 7.5 shot, we live in a town home. Went and shot about 75 rounds through it without a hiccup.
