A yellow one.Friends, Could you please guide me to the right home defense shotgun load for a 20 Gauge.
The concensus (including Ayoob) seems to be #3 Buck - 20 .25 cal pellets @ 1200+ FPS.Friends, Could you please guide me to the right home defense shotgun load for a 20 Gauge.
itg452,
the #4Buck, 2 3/4", 12 guage, shells have 27 pellets. out of my shotgun at 15 yards, i get a 36-40" (nearly round) pattern.
#4 buck does NOT usually penetrate BOTH sides of interior home walls, with enough remaining velocity to cause serious injury or death.
otoh, #4 Buck will "ruin your whole night", if you get hit with a few of those "blue whizzers".

IF i was ever in the unfortunate position of having to TRY a "head shot", it would NOT be with ANY handgun/shotgun.
i would use my M1 Garand or my Model 7400 Remington in .243.
once more, a handgun at NIGHT is NEARLY worthLESS, as you cannot be sure of seeing the sights if it's DARK.
(yes, my P6 came with Tritum sights, but they are NOT suitable for anything but "low light conditions".)

901-memphis, did you ever get something? I'd love to hear what you decided. I ended up with both a 12ga pump shotgun and a 9mm pistol since niether of them cover all scenarios. :girl_wink:
