pockmark Report post Posted June 11, 2010 I am about to pick one up for the house. This is a Class 3 tactical shotgun. It also has: Laserlight (Surefire) forearms, Rifle sights, and it has a light at the end of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pockmark Report post Posted June 11, 2010 My dad who is into guns said that the one I bought is as close to a fully automatic shotgun as a shotgun can get. Dont need to pump it at all, just keep pulling the trigger. Holds only 5 slugs though. May need to get some accessories for it soon.

dtxfree Report post Posted June 11, 2010 They make good guns, I prefer Beretta instead though. I have a super black eagle 2 12 guage for hunting. I also have a Beretta a390. IMO the is Benelli superior, I havent shot the pump guns though. But in the semi auto's the Benelli is much smoother and well balanced.

pockmark Report post Posted June 11, 2010 I dont hunt, this will be a self defense indoor gun only. Sounds like its perfect for what I will be using it for. Normally an invader hears the pump action of a gun and runs, this one will keep things quiet and keep him inside (just the way I want it as I have no kids to worry about yet). Will be bad news for anyone when they are hit by 5-12 guage slugs in a row. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be bad news for anyone when they are hit by 5-12 guage slugs in a row. Even though your looking for home defense they probably use the same mechanics for their whole line of weapons. I agree that a shotgun is the best weapon for home defense 100%. There is nothing more deadly within 50 feet than a shotgun. I would rather have 3.5" #1 buckshot than slugs myself, for the following reasons: 1) The 16 pellets in #1 buckshot are devastating to the human body, you can strike someone almost anywhere ie leg, stomach, center mass, with almost 100% fatal results. 2) Its hard to miss within the confines of a home with 16 opportunities to strike a target vs 1 with a slug 3) #1 Buck pellets present 1.13" of combined surface contact vs .63" from a slug while still providing adequate penetration 4) You also have a lot better chance of keeping the lead inside your home so you dont kill your neighbor next door in his sleep. Some people will load #1 buck first then follow it with #00 buck which has 9 pellets of a larger diameter, then #000 then a slug. This will give you more penetration at longer distances, I guess to hit them as they are fleeing:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilligan740 Report post Posted June 11, 2010 I've always liked Benellis. I've been shopping Mossbergs lately but I haven't decided for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pockmark Report post Posted June 11, 2010 I wanted the Mossberg too and chose the benelli over it. I love the fact that it has a spotlight on it too, so they will be blinded while they are getting shot. I hope I never have to use it, but feel much more comfortable now with it there. Will post pics when it arrives. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pockmark Report post Posted June 11, 2010 Dtxfree, Thanks for the insight. I will definately use that advice. I am new to shotguns, so recommendations like that, or maybe possible accesories or additions to it will be helpful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pockmark Report post Posted June 11, 2010 That is a great idea. I will run 3 Buckshot at different patterns and 2 slugs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsleroMan Report post Posted June 11, 2010 Had an M1 and an M3. Awesome shotguns, but I realized I hate shooting them, so I sold them. The 14" tactical would be nice, but was too lazy/cheap to jump through the hoops to get one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No prob! hope it helps, I will give you another nugget:) If you shoot 3.5" magnum ammo, Federal sells a #1 buck shell with 27 pellets!!! Total devastation to anyone in front of that!!

pockmark Report post Posted June 12, 2010 Is a slug gun your best option for home defense? a shotgun is. You can shoot through doors and drywall with much better accuracy than a handgun if you use buckshot, and it is much easier to hit your target with it.
