Before making a final decision to use a shotgun for your wife's home defense weapon, go to the range with a friend and let her shoot it -- shoot it a lot! Shoot a full box of 00 buck and she what she says. I'll bet, 1) she won't shoot more than three or four rounds; and 2) she will not agree to a shotgun. If I'm wrong, then you have your home defense weapon. If I'm right, you can start searching for a realistic home defense weapon for a woman.

Well that makes two of us.

By the way, did anyone else notice the OP disappeared after making this post, his second post on the forum?

Re: Shotgun Advice
The problem now days is the availability of shotguns. Buds has zero Mossbergs and other known brands only have high end guns left.

Re: Shotgun Advice
I purchased a couple Mossberg 500A Tactical cruisers in 12 gage maybe 8 years ago. Gave one to my SIL as Christmas gift. Paid maybe 250 each including tax. Perfect home defense shotgun for me. I am not picturing a 5 ft tall 100 pound woman doing so well with it. Maybe, but not the typical one.howdy wrote: Tue Nov 24, 2020 10:08 pm The problem now days is the availability of shotguns.
