Though, to be a little facetious, if you really need 19 rounds of 12-gauge to defend your home, it's probably time to move. |

This kind of dispels the myth about using a shotgun for home defense because it's easier to hit the target. If you live in a typical house or apartment, it just won't be a factor. The true advantage to using a shotgun is the size of the round and the power behind it. Hit somebody at close range with a 12 gauge slug and they're done. Doesn't matter if they're wearing body armor or not. |

The biggest issue for shotguns for most people is the felt recoil. Hard to send a follow-up shot for most people in any kind of reasonably short time frame. The average seems to be around 3-5 seconds between aimed shots. Regardless of whether they're autos or pumps. |

He didn't believe me when i told him he was taking too long at first, so I filmed him with my phone and showed him. He asked me to demonstrate how to do it so I reeled off 6 shots in about 3 seconds. But at the time I'd been running the course at the CTC (clay target center) for a few months every year for about 6 years so i was used to running pumps quickly. Plus, I had a good teacher (Fredo ran the CTC for a while and was a clays competitor and local champion). I explained the fundamentals of running a pump faster as I was taught and he worked on it for the next half hour before his shoulder started getting too sore. But he did get a little faster before he left. The point being, there's a couple things that have to be mastered with standard shotguns to run them quickly that most people don't even think about when they buy one for HD. The biggest one being felt recoil. That whack to the shoulder is about the same as triggering a .30-06 round. |
Looking to buy my first handgun(I own several shotguns). I’m looking for recommendations on a decent gun at a reasonable price. Something I can keep for protection and is also fun to shoot.
Suggestions? |

Anything you liked if so? Are you going to carry it? Or strictly HD/truck-type gun? What's your budget? $300? $800? Bear in mind that if you're going to carry it, you have to consider the cost of a holster (approx. $30-60). Do you have hand strength issues? |

I would never use this for home defense. It was strictly purchased to shoot open division in 3gun. Home defense is Pistol caliber Carbine for life. |

Of course there are many other options. If you're on a budget, the Walther Creed would be a good choice, or the CZ P10 C. |
