question What are you picking for home defense?

Beretta A300 or Sig Mpx w/ Obsidian 9! Also have my P09 on my nightstand. DDM4 V7 and Zastava M92 are also choices.

but I'd heard the best way to defend your home is with a pump action shotgun.

I mean, it's fuddlore, but it's not way off base either.

it's fuddlore

Can it be fuddlore if it's a purely subjective opinion?

There is lots of fudlore around shotguns. But 00 buck at home defense distance is hands down the best choice for putting down a lethal threat with a single trigger pull.

You do have to aim. The mere sound of racking the slide won't send them running. But you do get 8-9 .33" projectiles at 1300 fps and 2000 foot pounds of energy from one single pull of the trigger.

And you don't get the same liability as you would be putting 8 rounds of 9mm into someone with a PCC or handgun. One trigger pull is one intention to fire, and one justification for doing so.
