To me they are overpriced, and an AR will outperform in a home defense situation, the KSG looks cool and futuristic but a Remington 1100 with an extended tube will throw down serious firepower faster if your heart is set on a shotgun.I am about to purchase this 12ga for another home defense weapon.
Any info or feedback before I do?
The AR will throw more projectiles downrange quicker and if need be is quite effective with one hand taken out of the fight.
I once was a fan of the shotgun for home defense but 3 decades of running an M-4 configured weapon changed that, throw a 30 or 60 or 100 rd Beta mag on your AR and invite the home invader to bring some friends along
I mean is there anything better for home defense than the sound of pumping a shotgun? I personally wouldn’t be want to have to use it as I like my guns rifled. But how many projectiles are you going to be needing to go after the guy who is trying to steal your tv? I learned in the army that if you are having to shoot that much your probably fucked or panicking. Unless a SWAT team is breaking into your house which is probably your biggest threat to be killed by a he
Invader TBH. My five shots of 38 special P+ is going to handle just about anything I’m dealing with and to be honest I’m grabbing a baseball bat first anyway.
Not any worse than anything else the round choice is a big factor to consider some ammo can be obtained as "frangible"Using an AR for home defense... if you miss won't it go through the wall, the outside wall, and into your neighbors house and everything (everybody) in between? I love ARs, but it's not my planned first go-to weapon for home defense.
I have handguns (autos, high cap mags) in a little safe under my bed. My thinking is that, other than trap league, most my training is in handgun and I have taken lots of self defense courses including at least one in home defense. Also, given that the range in the home is going to be maybe 10 feet max I don't need rifle accuracy and with the shorter swing of a handgun's barrel its faster to get on-target. But my thinking is I will be reacting to someone already in the house. If someone is outside and threatening to break in and I have time I'd grab something bigger. Which reminds me that I've gotten lazy with my flashlight practice.(My bedside gun is a Glock 19 though....I have ran one since the early 90's)
