Weapon of choice for home defense?

[NXSVTCOBRA]

Odd, if I clean my AK you can hear the opening/closing of the action to dry fire, outside my house. The same goes for the shotgun, you can hear the action outside of my house. The only one you can't hear is my AR15.

If I chamber a round in the shotgun or AK, someone inside my house will hear it. I don't keep a round chambered in any of my weapons, too much of a safety hazard.

shhhhhhhhhhh some people fail to realize this, unless they live in a mansion or have a sound proof room

For those of you saying Shotguns won't penetrate walls

IDK about your house, but mine is made up of more than drywall.
In addition, the test should show a 8 inch piece of jell in front of the drywall to simulate a human body.

Just my 2 cents

your assuming you won't miss, and until you have been in that situation you just don't know.

Very true, exactly why I choose the weapon I do

Mossberg 835 ulti-mag pump 12 ga that is set up for 3 1/2... although for home defense I wouldn't use a 3 1/2 inch round.:kaboom:

Mossberg 500- Its pump action, super easy to use. I have two guns, my pump and my automatic. My automatic can be a pain to load because you have to push a button to load a shell, and when acting quick it could cause problems. My pump, just slide em in the bottom and you're all set. You can use whatever ammo you want. I would personally just use my 6 shot high brass pheasant load, but you can use what you want.

I vote pump for easy, maintenence free hd gun.

I just bought a Mossberg 590 Marine pump action with pistol grip. Holds 8 shells with another 8 on a side holder. One of the best purchases I've ever made!
