I am considering the purchase of a shotgun for home protection and would like a semi-auto with pistol grip. Any suggestions?

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.

I was wanting a 12 gauge shotgun for home protection. Nothing expensive so I found a mossberg 12 gauge pump action for 0. Then I looked at a 12 gauge tactical for 0. its got the pistol grip with adjustable stock and a heat shield on the barrel. Then I looked at a mossberg 930 12 ga. semi auto with breecher for 9. Any ideas which one of these has an advantage over the other, or any ideas for something else that is a good home protection weapon?

for personal use…
a shotgun- (pump action, pistol grip)
or
a short barrel revolver?
and what are the advantages of the one you’d prefer?

I am looking at getting a tactical shotgun for home defense. Please only tactical ones. I am not interested in getting a regular sized one, I dont hunt and dont really see myself doing any skeet shooting anytime soon. Also i know it would be easier to re-sell a regular shotgun but i dont see myself selling this. I would prefer one with a normal stock not the pistol grip. If you could please tell my why you reccomend the gun you do and what price range i would be looking at.

I have a Mossberg 500A Persuader with a Choate pistol grip folding stock. I live in a very small apartment and I was wondering what opinions on what loads I should use, and any comments on the loads I have in it hand how it is stored to be ready to be used to defend my apartment. I’ll start with the loads I have in the magazine tube first coming out of the tube, then the extra’s I have on my Side Saddle, Uncle Mikes Clinger Sling, and stock shell holder. The first load that’s would be loaded when I rack the shotgun, because I keep it in what’s called "Cruiser Ready", because I not concerned about giving away my position because it’s only 3 or 4 steps from my front door to my bedroom, which is in the back of my apartment, like I said, it’s small. I’m mostly concerned about over penetration. The first load when I rack the shotgun is one I made myself by taking a 00 Mag Seller&Bellot 12 pellet shell, which all you have to do is remove the plastic disc which acts as the crimp, then I put 7 #4 Federal copper plated buck shot in first, the Federal Steel BB shot, about 30 of them, then some 7.5 bird shot and then I added the plastic buffer that was in the shell that I got the #4 buck shots from the Federal shell. Then I Have 2 Federal Premium Steel BB loads, followed by 2 Agulia mini-shells that I took out the 7.5 birdshot and filled them with 15 steel BB and recrimped them, then I have one load of Federal Tactical #4 buck shot, followed by 2 Agulia Mini-Slugs, which gives me 8 in the tube, and I can still put another shell up to 3" in situation calls for a slug or some 00. Does this sound like a good set up to stop an intruder and still prevent as much as possible over penetration? On the Side Saddle I have 3 #4 Federal Tactical Buckshot shells, along with a Fleccett (sp?) round, a 325gr Federal Sabot Slug, and Steel BB shot shell. On the stock shell holder, I have 5 Federal 00 Low Recoil shells, and on the sling I have 2 Winchester Hollow Point Rifled Slugs, 2 Remington Rifled Slugs, 3 Federal Hydra-Shok Rifled Slugs, 2 3" Remington Express Mag 15 count 00 buckshot shells, and the 2 Federal Premium 00 Mag Shells. And like I said before, I keep it "Cruiser Ready", meaning shells in the magazine, empty chamber, and safety on, next to my bed. Does this sound like a good set up, any comment or suggestions welcome. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I want to buy a shotgun. This will be my first shotgun. I was considering getting something with a pistol grip, and this one here seems really good.

Looks cool, and has a nice stock that can hold shells too. It is 400. I won’t be using it for hunting. I will just use it "for fun" at the range. I have some rifles, but not a shotgun. If anyone has these, do u think it’s worth the 400?

I’m looking to purchase a mossberg 500 survival shotgun for a hiking trip I’m doing in Alaska this spring. I live in Chicago proper and I’m wondering about the legality of owning a shotgun with a pistol grip in the city. The gun has a 18 1/2 " barrell and an overall length of 29" Thoughts? I know shells are illegal in Chicago, looking for info specifically on this model though!
this is a picture
sorry, here’s the pic

I recently purchased the above shotgun, which comes with a pistol grip. The end cap of the magazine tube is drilled and tapped, but no stud is provided. There is a sling stud provided on the left side of the receiver. I cannot find an aftermarket 3 pt. tactical sling that will work with this set up. Can anyone recommend such a sling, or any sling for that matter? I was told that to truly utilize a 3 pt. tactical sling, you need the ring of the front sling to be on the SIDE, not on the END of the magazine tube. I don’t know if it matters, but I also plan on adding a SideSaddle 6-round shell holder on the receiver. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am interested in adding a compensator/muzzle break for my new Mossberg 500 Cruiser pistol grip 12 gauge shotgun with extended mag (8 shots). I am looking for a compensator to reduce recoil similar to those that are available for the AK 47 and ARs.

I just acquired this crazy shotgun in a firearms lot I purchased from an estate. It is a double side-by-side barrel 10ga shorty.
It is not a tactical gun, or chopped up ghetto-gage… this is a very "old school" wood tailed pistol grip, engraved, double trigger shotgun. About 19" in TOTAL length. This is also the only double trigger shotgun I’ve ever seen that will fire both triggers at the same time.
So… the thing is, there is a small "lump" in one of the barrels near the breach. Not big… just able to tell its there. Being that it is not only a 10ga, but a shorty double barrel, I know this thing would be a BEAST to fire… and I am itching to shoot it.
Is "any" form of barrel bulge "too much" to be safe?
This gun is so beautiful… I will certainly keep it as a "wall hanger"… but would it be safe to still fire?
I own 37 guns… but am by no means an expert, nor gunsmith… What do you think?
No it’s does not have Damascus barrels… and I do not plan on using this as a regular shooting gun, But it’s a TANK, and would really like to fire it before leaving it for display.
Just to add… the "lump" is external… like a pressure bulge… not inward like a dent.
I’m a big dude… I am not concerned about the power, or holding it… I am sure I am firm enough of a shot to handle it… just don;t want it to blow out a barrel directly next to my wrist, as thats where the bulge is while holding in a shooting stance.
Wow… the legal eagle is floating about. I misused the word TOTAL. The legal limit is 18-3/4" barrel length… the barrel is 19" long, not the entire gun. I have purchased tactical shotguns that are of equal length… the gun IS legal.

I have a Smith and Wesson 3000 that currently has a pistol grip on it, the orginal wooden fore grip, and one of those OD green baked on finishes on the frame. I’ve een looking for a solid black stock, but all I can find are the orignal wood stocks, or the folding black tactical stocks. Would it be easier to locate this black stock or is there a way to take the OD green off and use the readily available wooden stock? Will parts off an Remington 870 or another shotgun fit?

I would like to buy a reliable good home defense shotgun, preferably a pump with a pistol grip thats under 1,000 dollars. I was looking at the Stoeger Modell 2000 pistol grip but I noticed online it recieved some reviews stating reliability problems. Thank you.

I want to convert my hunting shotgun, a remington 1100 (20 ga) into a tactical gun with shorter barrel, longer tube and pistol grip/folding stock (and not the sideways hinge stock – i hate those). doing it for home defense, a lot of home invasions going on lately in my area.
searching online, i have not found anything I’m crazy about. any recommendations?

I would like to get a shotgun, probably with a pistol grip, that I could use in my house, but also outside with an effective range of at least 40 or 50 yards. I’ve read in a few different sources that a 12 gauge is bad to use inside a house (too much flash, noise, recoil, penetration with misses). I looked at the Mossberg HS 410, but it’s effective range is 20 feet to 20 yards due partly to it’s choke. What about the Model 500 Persuaders in a 20 gauge? Would this do the trick? Multiple shots, short overall length for inside, but I don’t know about the effective range. I can’t afford a pistol, nor am I skilled shooting with one. I have the time to become familiar with a new shotgun, but not to become a good pistol shot.
It’s not murder, and is self defense, if the person is shooting at me. I know it would be tough to be shot if I’m running at 50 yards, but would like to be able to give myself some realistic cover fire as I try to get away. I don’t know why you would assume it’s murder. I said self defense, as in someone is trying to kill me.
You will also notice that it wasn’t about not being able to handle the 12 gauge, but that some said it would act like a flashbang with the noise and all, and that IN a home, even a 410 would have plenty of power. I’m really thinking more of a riot in my neighborhood and I’m trying to get my family hidden in woods nearby if the situation comes close to my home. My house is small and I don’t want to get trapped in it.

I sold my Remington 870 to my nephew, and was highly considering using the money I got for it, and buying this shotgun. It has a black synthetic stock and pistol grip, it chambers 2 3/4", 3", and 3 1/2". It has an 18.5" barrel with a total length of 40", weighs 7.8 lbs, and holds 4 + 1.
Can anybody give me their opinion of this gun please?
I plan to use this for home defense, and plan to use 3 1/2" 00 buck, which has 18 pellets per shot.
How much more recoil will this have compared to the usual 2 3/4" or 3" 00 buck shot?
This is the gun I’m talking about:
