What is your home defense long gun weapon and ammunition? What are your reasons for these choices?

My Home Defence gun is a Remmington 870, 7rnd, 18". I use winchester 000 in 2-3/4 shells.

Not relevant to your question but my EDC is always first in line for go-to grab anyways.

Long gun tho is 12G 870 - coupla rounds #4 shot and rest 00 buck. It is overall for me the compromize solution, and if 2 rounds close up of lighter shot do not have enough effect, the remainder probably will!

There's also a Mossy 500C 20G around elsewhere and fairly available.




I do not keep a rifle as the long arm option due primarily to issues over penetration, even tho it seems .223 will break up with dry wall - so I have heard. I have a CX4 Storm in 9mm and have at times had that on hand.

First line of defense is motion sensing lighting outside and two alert dogs inside.
Then there is the XD9 with light/laser on my bedside.
But if you come in making too much noise you get the long gun treatment, Kel-Tec Sub2000 9mm.
I can put all 18 rounds into a a fist sized group at any distance found inside my house in about 4 seconds.

Nice feet Pgrass!


It really depends on the what day it is. Its going to be a 220 or a G23, because those are my work guns and they are always ready to play. If I'm off, it will be an 870 or AR. Most likely an 870.
Plus the dogs.

The only long-gun I keep loaded at home is a Mossberg 500 12Ga. I keep a Knoxx Spec-Ops stock on it, and a 6-rd side-saddle with 2 3/4in 00Bk. 5 more rds in the tube, and chamber empty in condition 3 (hammer down).

QKShooter

Older Ithaca Model 37 w/ a short Police DSPS (Deer Slayer Police Special) Riot Barrel.

100% reliable and as long as I hold the trigger in...mine will fire with each forward rack of the slide. The later ones have an intercept. It's a very fast shotty with super positive feed and bottom ejection.
It's just the perfect home defense shotgun to me.
Mine has no frills or add ons. It's factory stock.
I keep mine stoked with #4

Depends I have the Ar-15 loaded since ti doesnt fit in the safe next to the 12 gauge Winchester 1300 defender loaded with buckshot and slugs

All depends what i grab first

Thinking of changing the winchester to a mossie with the ghost ring sights etc etc
