Best starter shotgun for home defense?
    #23375857 - 06/24/16 01:59 AM (7 years, 8 months ago)

I'm a complete noob when it comes to firearms. I'm looking to buy a starter shotgun for home defense purposes. I'm looking for something bonehead simple that is highly durable so that I could potentially (not that I will) neglect it or do something wrong and it'll still fire right.

I've been reading around on reddit, and it seems like the mossberg maverick 88 is a good choice. I thought I'd ask you guys. I'd like to keep it around or under 300.

Recommendations?

Bernellis are awesome.

Go for the 12 guage. Lower the gauge, larger the round.

Pump action, with extended magazine.

Both the Benelli shotguns and the Remington 870 express look like excellent shotguns. I do like how reliable people say that the Remington is.

Also, thanks for the links to the articles about home defense shotguns. I read them both, good info!

remington 870 or mossberg 500 with 18-20" barrel, ideally 18". I'd probably go for a full stock, never used a pistol grip only shotgun but from what I've read they are hard to shoot.

Could you guys please stop making all these gun threads in the pub?? I get so insanely jealous of your right to bear arms. Best I got is this razor sharp folded steel katana. But I can't exactly take it out and target shoot with it. I've done a fair bit of shooting on holidays. It's such a fucking great hobby.

I can't wait to get to Australia and buy myself a good rifle....

Revolvers are good home defense guns as well.

Whose the maker on that? I have a few as well

My personal favorite for home defense is my swamp rat rodent rucki, it's like a short sword for close quarters with a wicked deadly point...

It's a Paul Chen Practical Plus Katana. Such a beautiful sword, so balanced it's an absolute pleasure to work with.

Swords better anyways, doesnt give you too much of an edge but its enough to almost guarantee victory, and when the cops pull up to your place and your standing on the lawn with blood dripping off the blade of your sword you'll look like a fucking legend.

Yeah, I mean this thing would easily lop off a head or a limb, it's pretty lethal. But seeing as I don't ever intend on killing anyone it doesn't do me much good.

I'm just jealous of the guys in the US who can buy such a wide selection of guns. Not that I agree with anything automatic; IMO a civilian has no place owning anything fully auto. But a nice handgun or rifle for target shooting? Man that's an art. I dream of one day having a go on a Barrett M82; I love the skill involved in long distance target shooting:
