The best defense is too make the b.....d afraid of you. I was the senior Marine on the USS Mobile and at the meeting arming us with 1911's or M1's was favored by the XO and several others. I favored the 870 for the intimidation factor plus it was powerful enough to reach anywhere on the flight deck. We were dealing with some really scared soldiers who were our allies. We sure didn't want to shoot any of them but they were armed and SCARED. We had to show them who was boss. I was never in country but had some interesting experiences. I covered these in an article that appeared in a copy of "Military" magazine about the middle of 2017.
