I am purchasing a 12 ga. Maverick 88 shotgun and am looking for some good, CHEAP shotgun Birdshot #9 – #4 ammo in bulk. I hear everyone talking about paying for a case of 250 shells but I can’t find anything close to that price range. I am looking to buy the ammo online. Thanks.

Most holsters, like Fobus holsters, are in general designed to give protection to the handgun, secure retention, and ready access. Holsters are generally designed to be used with one hand. To be able to return the object to a holster one-handed, the holster must-be-made from stiff material that maintain the form, so that the holster won’t crumple when the object is cannot be able to give support since it is no longer inside.
New holsters may fit-inside a pocket, to put in stability and protection to the handgun, making it securely reliable and open than if it were in the only in the pocket.
Categories by method of wearing
“Outside the waistband” (OWB) or belt holsters are mostly used by law enforcers and military, and by citizens who cull to open carry. Belt holsters and can be concealed under a long, not tucked jacket or shirt.
“Inside the waistband” (IWB) holsters, which clip or mount to a belt and allow one to safely holster the firearm inside the pants offers the owner the option of folding a shirt on the firearm and holster.
“Shoulder holsters” consist of two straps connected in a manner comparable to a knapsack. Holsters on the shoulders are designed to position the handgun:
1. in a perpendicular position, with the barrel pointed generally toward the ground;
2. in a vertical position, with the barrel regularly pointed towards the top;
3. in a straight position, with the back of the wearer is usually the barrel is pointed.
The “belly band” holster is a wide elastic belt with a built-in holster, normally kept under shirts untucked, to facilitate access. To remain in place, a belly band have to be excessively tight; this is usually uncomfortable – it is the same as wearing a girdle.
“Pocket holsters” are used for tiny firearms, same as a mousegun or back up gun.
“Small of Back” holsters put the weapon directly over the center of the back, allocating for even big handguns to be carried with little printing. While both comfortable and stylish, by accident the user fall onto the weapon (such as in a close contact combat) serious injury of the spinal column (including paralysis) may occur.
“Groin holsters” carry the handgun oftentimes below the waistline around the 12:00 position. There are no body movement restrictions and not so many clothing limitations with this type of holster.
“Thigh holsters” are a popular military and police-item that holds the sidearm on the leg right where the hand naturally hangs, creating for moderately fast of drawing. Today, this is with a drop leg PALS grid with a modular holster affixed. Police and armed forces associates and personnel wear these when a large vest makes unusual belt carrying.
“Ankle holsters” present excellent concealment and are used constantly by law enforcement offiers who wish to carry a secondary weapon to support the regular firearm.
“Chest holsters” can be connected to MOLLE compatible vests and chest carriers. Like shoulder holsters, chest holsters are regularly not hard to draw from than belt holsters when the operator is seated inside a vehicle. Other, extinguished kinds of holsters are made to be kept inside a briefcase, day planners, purses and filofaxes, or even piece of clothing.
Posted in best shotgun, double barrel shotgun | No Comments »
I live in a town home type condo complex with a common wall on two sides of my unit. I’ve had a 9mm hand gun for a while and just inherited a double barrel shot gun.
For home defense, what would be the best choice, the 9mm hand gun or a double barrel shotgun?
I am concerned about accidently injuring a neighbor, the 9mm is sure to go though at least one if not two or more walls but it is only one bullet. Versus the shotgun were there would be 5-10 pellets in a buck shot type round or dozens of much smaller pellets in bird shot type round but what they might not penetrate as many walls.
Any opinions please.
speshal:
I live in California not Afghanistan
I don’t want to buy new weapons and I hope not to have to use them so I am stuck with the guns a I have: A 1918 Luger (9mm) and a double barrel 12 ga Shotgun; nitro speical made in 1924 by Ithica arms of New York (a duck hunting gun?)
I want to thank everyone for posting their replies, it’s been very informative! There were several answers I think are the best but haven’t quite decided which one just yet.
I think my best options are selecting the right type of ammo both guns; something like the Glaser safety slug for the 9mm and low brass/low recoil #8 type bird shot for the shotgun for home defense.
And then keep some high power 9mm rounds and 00 buck shot 3in for; insurrection, rioting and radio active zombies.

1) What is the most powerful type of shotgun shell?
2) For those of you who use shotguns for home defense, what kind of ammo do you use for it?

I have been wanting to find the perfect reference material for ammo which is used for handguns, rifles and shotguns. I would prefer visual pics of the ammo or at least a silhouette of all ammo. Also I would like to see what is in each cartridge for buck and bird shot (like what is it that is coming out of the end of the barrel).

Hey, I’m thinking about buying a pump action shotgun for home defense and recreational shooting. I hope I never have to use it for the first purpose, but in case I do, I’d like something that’s efficient and cheaper than spending 2000 bucks on a fancier gun. Here’s my one concern: I grew up around rifles with my dad and on my grandparents’ farm, but I’ve never fired a shotgun–just rifles, which obviously didn’t have the kick shotguns do. I’m a woman in my early twenties, but I’m in great shape, I lift weights, and I’m very physically strong so I’m not worried TOO much about the kick. That said, I know it’s definitely something I need to consider. I’ve heard it may be best to get a 12 gauge shotgun because of their ammo versatility and stopping power, and I can use a lighter buckshot to reduce the kick. But how negatively will that affect the stopping power? I’m hoping I can try out different options before making a purchase, but I’d just like some general advice. Any help greatly appreciated! Oh and also, if I buy different chokes, can I shoot both buckshot and slugs? How difficult is it to change shotgun choke tubes, and how much do they usually cost? Are they included with some guns? Thanks again for any help!

Let’s say I have a 12 gauge, Mossberg 590 and I’m fighting in close range combat. What would be the best ammo for killing my enemy from 1-30 yards?
P.S.- I’m not planning to kill anyone, I’m just curious

I saw it on exhibition shooting on the history channel and wanted to kinda show off to my friends when we go hunting this weekend. They used a shotgun and a milk jug of some sort of fuel, but I don’t know what they used for fuel, for the ammo, or the distance.
I just thought there might be enough compression if you use diesel or something, but Ive herad of other exhibition shooters doing this before. maybe they had an ignition source.

My first shotgun – for home protection.
What ammo should I get ?
i already have a S&W 686, Glock 23, Sig P220 and Glock 17…

Ok.. I know must of you say that pump is better then semi shotguns for home defense, but I still have concerns…
1) Under stressful conditions, I’m more afraid of short shucking a pump. I know I can practice, but who knows how you react in a true life/death scenario. I think that "I" might be more reliable, if all I have to do is keeping pulling a trigger, instead of having to chamber a round between each shot.. Thoughts??
2) Does anyone know the reliability of the Mossberg 930 SPX? How often does it jam with good ammo?
3) Does anyone have any real statistics on how often the average semi-auto jams?
Thanx!

I have been looking at mossberg 835 ultra-mag tactical turkey shotgun, and i don’t want to just only shoot turkey loads out of it, i would like to be able to hunt deer, partridge, and or waterfowl, but i don’t know if i can shoot any other type of ammo out of it, i know you cant shoot a slug threw it while the choke is in it but im not sure if you can shoot another type of ammo out of it.

I am trying to decide which gun would make for a better home defense gun.
I guess the pros/cons would be:
semi-auto handgun:
pros:
-Very light and easy to pick up and use.
-Easy to swing around quickly and point in different directions quickly etc (useful in close quarter situations).
-Can fire a lot of ammo quickly (semi-auto)
cons:
-Not as visually intimidating
-Not as audibly intimidating
-If your shot misses, it misses.
Pump action shotgun:
Pros:
-Very visually/audibly intimidating
-Extremely powerful at close range
-When you miss, you often still hit, since it sprays a big bluster of lead, instead of just one single bullet, when you fire a shot.
Cons:
-Heavy and awkward
-Tougher to swing around and aim quickly than the pistol
-Can’t fire rounds off as quickly (need to pump after each shot)
So which do you guys think makes for a better home defense gun?
P.S. I’m 6’1 220lbs, so kick is a non-issue for me on this topic.
