LOL, Nice!


I would try those 2" or 2&1/4" Italian buckshot shells. Those six pellet SG loads really reduce bandolier or belt weight. Each shell is substantially lighter than 2&3/4" one.

I have dogs both inside an out so nothing will surprise me and I will have plenty of time to decide what weapon and what for, if it is a coyote, raccoon or skunk the shotgun is it. If it is an intruder my main issue will be separating my dog safely from said intruder which is easier done with a handgun in one hand. In reality the dogs are my first line of defense and I am there to support them.


In so many home invasion incidents we hear about, a barking dog might have made all the difference. (I myself just added two little yappers smile )

I will add that in my area, the sort of guys you might expect to break into your house seem to have an inordinate fear of dogs, most any dog, that is barking and acting aggressive.

OTOH I got no use for a dog that bites.

I like the Ithaca Model 37 LAPD
18 inch barrel with cylinder bore choke.
If you depend on a shotgun you really need to pattern it at different ranges and 00 buck and #4
Buck and see what you like.
I was watching a Facebook video recently
A young black Sheriff Deputy pulled over a guy that had a 20 gauge laying on the front seat of the vehicle. He pointed it at the deputy and fired.
The deputy was knocked backwards and fired 2 magazines into the bad guy who absorbed 8 bullets.
The deputy had pellets in his shoulder, both were hospitalized. Both survived.


I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!

Good morning Pete, I’m running a Romeo four, I got it for a good price so I threw it on, I like it it’s been reliable going to keep it on for now. I’m running 6.5 inch barrel with a silencer co-can, Waiting on my SB tactical brace. I’ve run HST through through it Gold Dot,HST Same accuracy. Never ran 115 through it ran 124s which I really like :-) very accurate carbine/pistol. I just got a Sig rattler, Have to pick it up one night during this week after work. Got it with another Romeo on it again, good price :-) looking forward to running that should be a blast, pun intended.

Duck, why go mini when a maxi will hold back the flow better...

If I’m touching off 15 mini shotgun rounds in my home, I’m either blind or my house is bigger than a football field.

5 gauge shells should clear my home of intruders feet first.

I’d also be concerned about failures with shorter shells.

No experience with them, so my worry may be unfounded.

Naaawww, I just think they're cute is all - never tried 'em. I don't go mini OR Maxi. But there IS string hanging out the end of my shotgun barrel. blush

If you don't plan on defending against or killing an intruder why even bother carrying a gun? You typed that in an earlier post BTW.

This is where I’m coming from. Not out of concern for the perp either.

My own home defense plan starts with a barking dog and continues with the .38 j frame Airweight I’ve been packing for the past 25 years.

And if they get me...... bwahahahaha! There ain’t sh$t they can get to in my house worth pawning anyhoo..... 🙂


I did loan my Democrat Catholic Hispanic Ex BiL and his family at their request my over under Yildiz .20ga for the duration. #4 steel shot was all they had left in the store. Took him out and had him shoot it.

Don’t bother with the mini shells. Tried Aguila and Federal both in my 870P, no go for reliability. Not even close. Only good for singles and double barrels. And why use them in those?

Always wondered what those mini shells brought to the table.

They double the capacity of your pump gun (that typically requires an adapter) and still kill stuff at shorter "indoor" ranges.

And they remove all trace of recoil in doing so.

If I recall correctly they were actually made with the Mossberg 500 in mind and from what I read they work on that platform flawlessly. I am an 870 guy, so have no first hand experience.

Just watched a trailer for Blood Quantum, a zombie flick with the fast moving variety of undead. I see zombies as a good metaphor for drugged out of their mind criminals. Erratic, fast, and stories about their not reacting to bullets they way a civilized person would.

If head shots on fast moving targets was the problem, shotgun is the solution.

Not if your gun is set up for them.
