“ Birdshot creates devastating wounds at close range.”
“Pistols put holes in things. Rifles put holes through things. Shotguns, at the right range with the right load, blow chunks off things and put that **** on the walls.” Clint from Thunder Ranch.

When I was in Funeral Service, I saw a contact shotgun wound. Almost took the arm off.
This the very reason I prefer #2 shot shotgun defense. 12ga 3” mag. 1 1/4 oz. of #2 is approximately 110 pellets. Shot group stays tight even out of a cgylinder bore. I have an Ithaca NID that once was 30” F&F. Got it cheap as the right tube had been severly dented near the muzzle. Barrels were cut to 22”. It handles slugs and 00 buck really well. It is absolutely devastating with #2 out to 40’. A pistol is to get me to my shotgun. A shot to get me to my rifle. There is good argument for a five-eight shot pump. Looking at the business end of that 22” Ithaca is a sobering experience.
