Being a hunter, buy yourself a remington 870 shot gun (combo) it come with both deer and bird barrels the bird shot is good for maximum spead for self defense plus its one shot in the barrel and 4 in the stock.
Being a hunter,
***I’m not a hunter.
Blech.
Now don't get me wrong. The 870 is a fine weapon. For hunting. I have one and wouldn't get rid of it.
But when seconds count, I don't want to be fumbling for that silly little button the the trigger guard.
Get a Mossberg 500. The safety is on top, you push it toward the bad guy to shoot.
Plus, the Model 500 is the only shotgun to pass the US Army's Mil-Spec 3443E test.
I agree,, The 870 remington is the cheapest and most reliable weapons ever made,,,the shotgun is the most versatile home defense weapon that a person can have,,,
Better yet, get yourself a Mossberg 700 tactical pumpw/adjustable stock. 6+1.
There are a lot of problems with that post.
I have a 870 police model, but I leave the bird shot for the birds. Bird shot didn’t kill an elderly man with a shot to the face (I’m sure Dick Cheney is glad about that), it won’t take down a 20 year old. Don’t screw around when the SHTF, use .000 buck or slugs/hollowpoint slugs.
