Unless you're a hard core tactical operator, you're not going to be thinking about giving away your position, clearing rooms, and accurate follow up shots. Some are more talented than others. shot spread is your friend I would completely disagree. If you are using shotgun ammo in the low numbers or buckshot that would be the last thing you would want. In a home defense situation you want a accurate shot so the projectile looses all or most its energy in the target. When some of that shot spread misses your target all that buckshot is going through multiple walls without issue. grab the phone, call 911, wedge the phone between your shoulder and ear, grab your defense gun911 is honestly the last thing on my mind in that situation. If 911 was called I would not wedge a phone in my ear and shoulder while I was attempting to protect myself and family. If you're shooting from a traditional stance (gunstock at the shoulder) for most people it's going to interfere with staying on the phone (which 911 will want you to do until the cops show up.) 911 will also tell you to not shoot a intruder. Anything is better than nothing though I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!!!!!!
I stand by my points as I'm sure you stand by yours. In the interest of everyone else, I will bow out.Your kung fu's the best.
The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.
I think a big bore handgun using this ammo would work and you would not have to worry about over penetration.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaser_Safety_Slug
Weapons lights have their place , but you sure as heck need proper training . Do not use one for general searching , or you will for sure have a fatal accident . Chris
I've been following this thread with some interest. I have to agree with everyone who has mentioned a revolver. I have a S&W Model 19 Combat Magnum in .357 with a 4 inch barrel. It's a great handgun, built on a K-frame so it's fairly light and handy. The one disadvantage to the lighter frame is that it's not something that you'd want to shoot full power .357 loads out of exclusively. Being able to use .38 Specials is a big plus. Someone mentioned the Model 10 earlier, and I agree, you can find them rather inexpensively. The Model 10 is a true classic, simply an update of the original M&P. A revolver and cartridge combination in its basic form doesn't stay in production for over 110 years if it isn't effective!

And if that doesn't work, there's always practice and training! Def
Mossburg is good but the Rem is a little better quality.Either one would work for me.As far as buying on line you have to go through a licensed dealer to do the transaction.A dealer usually charges $25 to do this.Some small time dealers will order your gun for you and usually charge 10% of the whosale price for their fee.
