[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1856401, member: 69192"] Before I reread your post (the title) I wrote the following, I realize that it doesn't address your post, but...... [B][I][U]For a "home defense long-gun"[/U][/I][/B] an older Remington 870 pump, with an 18 inch smooth bore, slug barrel with iron sights and an extended tube magazine, with a pressure switch light on the pump handle, with #4 buckshot and you will have all the defense weapon you will every need [B]"[/B][I][U][B]for your house".[/B][/U][/I] Folding stocks can be obtained if you would like to shorten up the weapon. If necessary a 1 oz slug can be put to use for any longer distance shooting. And.....#4 buckshot patterns well in the modified choke of the Remington smooth bore slug barrel (41, .25 caliber pellets), with about a 24 inch spread at 25 yards. The 1 oz slugs will shoot quite decently out to 100 yards. With the #4 buckshot over penetration is somewhat limited, moreso than a .223 round or larger; do not have to worry about putting holes in your neighbor's house two acres away. I think that an AR is an option for home defense, however I am not a fan of them for [I][U]home[/U][/I] defense. I'd just like to add that [I][U][B]there's something to be said about the added effect of making one's butt cheeks slam together[/B][/U][/I] when a round is racked into the chamber; one of those oh ---t moments.:eek::oops:;) [/QUOTE]
