Any semi-automatic weapon will send rounds down range very quickly while being cautious about distance. The Single-Stage Enhanced Polished Trigger gives you a smooth trigger pull every time you fire your rifle, while the Magpul polymer handguards provide a comfortable and secure grip. The 10-gauge is another shell that is rare to see these days.
There is also a toggle for switching between barrels, so you can load different ammunition within each barrel in order to make an informed decision on which ammo type is best for the scenario at hand. For example, firing a pepper ball round might not be the best idea if an assailant is engaging you at a particularly close range given the debilitating airborne effects. Home defense is a serious concern that every homeowner ought to give some real thought to. Shotgun slugs can be used for home defense, however over-penetration is a big problem.

I used this Glock in all my classes and to become more proficient. Then moved to the Glock 19….then the concealed carry. I am not against Glock , but I also don't think a Glock should be anyone's 1st pistol. I am told by my gunsmith that more Glocks are traded back in right away because people without experience either do not like them or are afraid of them. My thought is that the Glock is too expensive for most people as a 1st to buy and without practice with a pistol, none are much better than the other.
I was thinking of getting a S&W M&P with a safety. You can leave it off, and it functions the same as a Glock, but you always have the option of using it. The M&P 9C is also a very nice pistol with a great feeling grip and conceals easier without printing than the full-size M&P 9. Of course, they also make a 40C for those that prefer the .40 S&W caliber. The grip is shorter, but it works for me since I generally either have my pinkie extended and off the grip anyway or I can curl it under the grip slightly with no problems using the flush magazine. I carry my backup magazine with a Strike Industries +2 extension that gives me 8 rounds instead of the standard 6 rounds in the stock magazines.

All Benelli shotguns are incredibly well crafted. Whereas a Mossberg is like a bulldozer, Benelli shotguns are finely tuned Italian sports cars. This is immediately evident in the ergonomics and fit & feel when shooting them. Now that we've covered what to look for in a tactical shotgun, here are our picks for the best home defense shotguns. As far as accessories go, all of my home defense guns have at least a red dot sight and weapon light.
I promise you are going to fall in love with this scatter gun as all the different varieties of 20 gauge ammo offer a ton of versatility without the punishing recoil of a 12 gauge. SLFORCE knows that a good defense can be as effective as a good offense when it comes to dealing with potential attackers. That’s why the SLFORCE Personal Alarm Siren Song delivers a hard-to-ignore 130dB alarm noise to attract attention and deter any would-be attackers.

Too large of a blast could leave you unable to hear an intruders movements. Batons are used by law enforcement because of how small but extremely useful they can be as a self-defense weapon. With a baton, you’re getting more into the physical fighting aspect of home defense. This means you need to have the strength and quickness to be able to swing the weapon at your attacker. This will give you an advantage if your attacker is unarmed. But even so, remember that any time you get into a physical confrontation with an attacker, you’re in a very dangerous situation.
The ‘bead’ is located on the front of the shotgun and the user simply lines the bead up with their target to aim. This works great if you have good eyesight or use a magnifier to help with alignment. However, bead sights tend to be very difficult to use in low-light situations. These are the newer types of shotguns that have yet to overcome the popularity of pump-action shotguns in mainstream media. They are operated much like any other rifle and do not have the pump-action learning curve.

I am thinking with a light attached to a gun the bad guys will see you way before you see them. I've heard that argument of the light giving away your position which makes sense, but I'm with you that I'd rather see my target clearly. I still lean towards that the mind is the best safety and that a physical safety gives a crux.
I have the Mod.2 service 9mm model and love that gun. I can’t disagree with the .357 mag, a 7 shot with at least 4″ barrel would be devastating. I keep electronic ear protection on my night stand as well.
The voltage of a stun gun is very high to cause extreme effects such as muscle pain, but the amperage is ultra-low to prevent internal organ damage and permanent injury. To incapacitate an attacker, you only need to shock them for 2-3 seconds by contacting their skin with the metal prongs of your stun device. Stun guns are more effective when used on a larger muscle group, such as the thigh, back, chest, etc, however, are effective pretty much anywhere they are able to make contact with. I am not a legal advisor, so what you read here are only suggestions, not legal advice. When conducting your own legal research, you might want to use the term Electronic Immobilization device , as that’s usually the legal jargon dedicated to stun guns and other stun devices like stun batons. Sabre pepper gel has a four year lifespan, which is also a little more than traditional pepper spray.
Unlike most other tactical shotguns, the Mossberg 500 and 590 models have the safety located on top of the receiver. I'd argue this is the ideal location if not using a pistol grip, but awkward if you are planning to use a pistol grip and stock. All Mossberg tactical shotguns are built to last, with any of them being more than capable of serving as your home defense weapon. The 590 models, however, are a bit more suited to heavy-duty use.
