I was looking to buy a shotgun today for home defense, and was wondering if the Mossberg 500 Tactical Cruiser 12 Gauge would be a good choice. Here is a picture of it.

I am not interested in any rifle, semi-auto, or revolver. I only want to know if this shotgun is an excellent choice or not?
What is the best shotgun for home defense on the inexpensive side?
I’m interested in buying a lightweight 20 ga. synthetic Remington express 870 or a 11-87 tactical for home defense. I see them on line and in stock. I live in NH and understand handgun FFL rules etc. Have had my firearms permit for nealy 35 years and renew it whenever it’s due, but don’t know the rules about shipping the shotgun to me at home or is it necessary to ship toa dealer.
Several years ago, on impulse I got a 12 gauge SxS with a 20" barrel. I have other shotguns so it’s still never been fired. I hate to admit it but, what would you use one for? For home defense I have a Benelli, for skeet I thought you’d need a 24"+ barrel.
Any suggestions?
Super Nova or Nova? and which one is better?
I would be using for home defense and small game hunting O and for turkey
Or is that just a figure of speech?
Most people use shotguns for home defense anyway?
I’m looking to buy a home defense shotgun and thought perhaps the 11-87 in 20 ga. would be good ? Your opinion.?
Which is better for hunting, home defense, and shooting in general?
I think I have an idea for a way to store a shotgun loaded and to make it tactically accessable for home defense… for all those people who prefer shotguns to pistols. Two questions: would you consider buying one for your house, and if so, how much would you be willing to pay for such a storage device?
Can they be used as bird shots? What about home defense? What can I use them for?
Thank you all for your answer’s! I just baught a Mossberg 12g for home defense because of how bad things are getting, and I didn’t really know the difference. So now I do! Thank you!
I’d like something I can easily change the barrel on for either trap or home defense.
I’ve been shooting rifle and pistol for years and now I want to get into trap.
Thanks
Not talking about hunting here, but home defense?
Just curious.
Shotgun for me..
Note: I have a 30-06 and AR-15 I use for hunting.
what are the most powerful pistol, rifle and shotgun in terms of raw power and rapid fire capability ( for home defense) that can be legally owned in Massachussetts.
NOTE: I HAVE NO CRIMINAL RECORD AND I DO NOT WISH TO COMMIT A CRIME.
There isn’t a good category for home defense, so I had to pick this one. Apologizes in advance.
I’m looking for recommendations on brand/model of shotgun for home defense. My skill with a pistol and rifle is intermediate, but I’m a complete beginner when it comes to shotguns.
What model shotgun is literally the best bang for your buck that is most effective at short range?
What ammo should be purchased with it?
Please give as many details as possible.
I have home defense in mind.
and hunting.
