Small Shooters

lol, we got two dogs and both are such freaking cowards they run and hide behind us when something happens. One is 140 pounds, my wife is 98 soak and wet. lol

Yeah, my "guard dogs" won't even get up off the bed when a strange car drives up. Although the home invader will have to evade the most serious tounge licking he will ever experience.

Our big dog would probably run them off by grossing them out with all his drool. He is so gross ... heh

Pistol grips are cool to look at... and a bear to shoot. I'd keep a buttstock on my shotgun and learn a lot about the tactics that go with such a firearm. Pistol grips recoil hard... In my opinion they are for a limited niche, deep concealment on a SBS or breeching.

Houses clearing with a shotgun? Not for the untrained or faint of heart. Sound home defense involves falling back to a pre-determined spot in the home. That spot should have "cover" for the homeowner and a structural point (doorway) that funnels the bad guy into a fire zone. After all- you did call 911... the safe zone gives the occupants a safe place to wait- and an edge if push comes to shove while your waiting for help

Hunting for bad folks in a structure is best done in teams... at least a pair of people who have some real training in such a skill set.

All the above +1

I would recommend proper training. Good posture and form will solve 90% of the recoil problems. If my 12 year old female cousin can hand 3" loads out of a 12 gauge, so can just about anyone. I would recommend a good semi-auto, since these will recoil a lot softer.

Cool, thanks
