Exactly.
Get one with as much tube capacity as you can. My defense shotty is a 20" Mossberg 590 with the 7/8 round tube. That will handle nearly any situation 50yds/m and closer very authoritatively.
Shotguns, especially pump actions need much more training than you expect. It is NOT intuitive to load them. It is NOT intuitive to be able to shoot them quickly and accurately. And yes, you must aim. This isn't a movie and buckshot doesn't take out a whole hallway full of bad guys in one shot 🙄
Make sure to not have a choker when hall way blasting
I hope I don’t have to blast any hallways!
Excellent. Information. Ive shot guns my whole life but need to get non hunting equip and I’m planning to take a trip involving tactical training for fun and learning
I picked up a used Mossberg 590A at a local shop a decade ago. It was a former police pistol grip short cruiser. It is one of my favorites. Just simple and scary. Has a thumb safety to get used to but incredibly useful and easy to move in tight spaces.
