For home use only, get a Mossberg 500 shotgun. 2nd choice = a Ruger GP100 revolver.

I agree with these choices, but with the caveat that you need to make sure your wife can handle them, too.

That means the shotgun might be a 20 gauge instead of a 12 gauge, and the revolver might be a Ruger SP101 instead of a GP100.

The post about getting some good training is excellent advice, too.

I have a Mossberg, bolt action, 410 I got as a young lad in 1965. I will not be using it for hunting. I have been thinking about cutting the barrel and stock down, but since it is bolt action don’t know is this is a good idea.

What do the experts here think?

I’ll second that Mossberg 500 tactical suggestion. Just the sound of racking the weapon will make most criminals run.

Concur on the Mossberg. I understand the Maverick 88 is basically the same gun with a different safety and costs somewhat less.
