Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Maybe a shotgun is better for home defense...

Inman, very nice restoration. I'll have to settle for my Chinese reproduction.

Beautiful.

That little pistol is for hideaway backup. The shotgun is great for home defense. You can get a variety of loads for your shotgun with today's technology.

I picked up a brace p556 from Sig. It's my first and only piston rifle/pistol. It's handy, but I wound up picking up the Sig MPX braced pistol. 9mm versus 5.56. The MPX is much handier in a house. Accurate as I'll get out. That's my home defense. Spot accurate.

I cannot explain to you all how much this thing kicks ass.
It was expensive no doubt: but if you're looking for a serious self defense shotgun, against bears, zombies or methheads, you owe it to yourself to at least take a look at Bull Creek Arm's offerings. It did have an action issue, but a little google fu and 2 swipes on the right extractor notch with a fine, Ultra-Thin Micro-Flex file, and all is well.
I ran 200 lower pressure rounds through it today without a hitch. Switching to slugs tomorrow.

The serial number dates to 1913 BTW. I think that's pretty neat.

Reminds me of an old song that goes “Boom, boom, boom, Boom!”

I checked out that Bull Creek site, thanks.

BTW, their Browning BARs are badazz.

That’s freaking cool!

Bayonet?

Never mind...my illiterate azz just saw you were looking into one.
Nice weapon!

Good post...perfect imho.
I answered this before listening to avoid bias.
I agreed with Paul and his buds at the end.
The swat cops opinion was taken with a shake of salt since that doesn't give more cred than other strangers opinions.

Long guns are better for defense than handguns unless you practice lots with hgs and not long.....or are John Wick.
Which ?
Whichever you practice with regularly.
There's other variables that would take another hour to discuss. The weapon doesn't matter as much as the man or woman behind the weapon.

Bugs Bunny cartoons might have had a different ending if Elmer Fudd carried one of these for bunny hunts.

This will make you smile. 🙂👍
