All this shotgun talk made me get my home defense shotgun out of the closet. Unloaded it, gave it a wipe down, aimed it a few times at the wall. Benelli Super Nova Tactical loaded with Federal 00 buckshot. I bought it in 2009. I used to carry a Benelli M2 14 1/2" auto as a Narcotics Entry Officer. I wanted a similar gun for HD! But didn't want to spend the $$$ for an auto Benelli. This one Has the same sights and pistol grip stock. It has a 20" barrel. Shortly after we changed to Bushmaster 12 1/2" 5.56 carbines. The 00 buck would shoot through a pit bull, through the floor of an old crackhouse into the basement. We thought that was a catastrophe in the making. The carbines with 60 grain Hornady TAP will make short work of a pit bull or Rottweiler and stay inside the body. I've seen it numerous times.
