Home Defense

Blind, Deaf and Alive I can accept that.
I understand what you are saying bob519.
In these situations there just is no time to be worrying about your ear plugs and dark safety glasses.
Hearing will return and you could always shut your eyes for a second.
Which many people due unintended even when shooting at targets.
00BUCK:
Just an FYI, A mossy 500 without the vented rib can be cut down nicely with any typical decent quality tubing cutter. A little file work aftwards and some cold blue and you are good to go. You can also drill and tap pretty easy to put the original bead back on. I've done it to several of them and each has come out great. And I NEVER make a cut of less than 18 1/2" just to be safe.
And , just my opinion here, all you need is 2 3/4" high brass standard load 00buck for home defense. It's not like you are trying to hit a goose at 30 yards ....
bullit:
Ever seen what a Rem 870 Youth Express 18" Barrel in 20 Ga 000 Buck will do?
IMHO perfect CQB shotgun for in house distances especially for a female. Yes, go compare with your HG rounds ye doubters......
FreedomOne:
I have read that in certain, intense, high stress situations like a home invasion that your adrenaline is running so high that gun blasts don't hurt your hearing, or your eyesight. Just my two cents worth. I did go with a Mossberg 500. I have modified it some already with some add on parts. I will have to get a picture or two of it and post it. Thanks for all the suggestions and great talk here! Keep it going, if you like!

Remington offers an 870 7-shot synthetic that is pretty good out of the box for home defense. Add a light and maybe a side saddle and you'll be good to go.

I've got one of these as well, however in moving forward in my thinking, I'd like to look at using a 20 gauge as well in a similar configuration. Also consider the shot load you are shooting. 12 Ga. 3 inch. 00 buck hurts especially if you are going to sustain any rate of fire. I went to 2 3/4 #4 shot.
I need to add that my shotty would be my last resort among my current options for home defense, but damn it hurts!
