My first choice in home defense is my Mossberg 590A1 12ga pump-action shotgun loaded with Federal Tactical 00 Buckshot shells. I've had this shotgun for years and have done at least a few classes with it. I'm very comfortable with it and it goes boom every. damn. time. no. matter. what.

And yeah, I keep the chamber empty. If I'm being really honest it's mostly because I was trained that way.

Very soon, when all this quarantine crap is over, I'm hoping to get myself a Benelli M4.

I'm pretty good with a shotgun as well.. I prefer fighting just man to man naked in a cage with an ax though

00 buck loaded up with slugs in the sling I can load when needed . still would rather just ax the fuck out of an enemy though


^thats a joke by the way .. yes I'm good with a Glock and a shotgun.. but the battle is mainly spiritual. against the principalities and powers that want to enslave us.. battle agant our own vices and sin as well

Why keep an empty chamber? You could always load a full magazine plus one in the chamber, and still rack the slide if you want. This leaves you the option.

The sound of the unspent cartridge hitting the floor will prove you are loaded.

Well, trained by cops I am used to some variation of what they call 'Cruiser Ready' or 'Cruiser Safe.' Racking the slide is just natural to picking the thing up, at least to me. It would be weird to me and require re-training to use the safety instead of the slide.

That and shotguns aren't really drop safe. (Yes, I know it's highly unlikely that one would go off that they are engineered blah blah but.... see 0:38 https://youtu.be/Y9rU0tZwb6s )

With 8 shells in the tube and 6 more riding in a sidesaddle I'm not feeling like capacity is a big issue for home defense.

I will take care of business when they are down. Am I REALLY so far off?
