Good Self Defense Shotgun?

Check my avatar that's what I answer the door with after 9 o'clock

 

man bud ya must live in a very nice side of bakersfield to answer the door with that after 9.... guess that means you block shuts down at like 7...cause over on my side of town (eastside) 9 is to early to anser the door with it although its by my side all day....hahahahaha

 

Unless i know your coming over nobody has any business with me after 9.

 

I wouldn't actually want that Judge at all. Recoil is a sumbitch and it's heavy in general. I'd be curious what the spring rate is on the trigger.

If your wife or girlfriend had to use your home defense weapon, I think they would have a better time with a shotgun. My mom spazzes out when she shoots a 40 cal (she clenches up, yelps, and comes close to dropping it), but does fine with a shotgun doing shots from the hip, even though she doesn't like it.

 

That's a good point, but for myself I think the judge is badass and a great defense gun. But you're right, not an easy gun for a wife or girlfriend to handle.

 

hehehehehehehe.. remind me to call ahead of time if I ever go vist ya....lol.... are ya making it to pismo????

 

Remington 870, any criminal will run the other way, when you chamber a round. Check the state laws on barrel length, you also can take the plug out, to hold two more rounds, check the state laws on that also. Also a large dog is good home protection.

 

Like a Great Dane .

 

not sure yet i have some things that i could get done in town but don't have to. i was gonna decide last minute. you?

 

do you have a great dane? youd be my girlfriends new best friend she loves those dogs

 

Or a big Akita with a huge bark

 

no I'm going to shoot for doing a gorman run the first weekend of sep or doing the bear mt trip out to the hot springs..... if ya don't make it to pismo and are down for one of these let me know.....

 

i actually went 19 just to make sure

 

ah ok, how much better is the spread pattern?

 

Maverick Model 88....and a pic of mine with folding and collapsable stock

 

18.5" or 20"? I've never heard of a 19" shotgun...

 

Look for a used Benelli M1 super 90. Awesome gun. Bought mine (new)as a tactical with pistol grip and ghost ring sights. Has never had a hiccup or let me down. You can find them used for around $600. I have changed mine over to hunt ducks with and performs flawlessly. I also have a remington 887 but I haven't shot it yet so I can't speak about it yet.

 

better? im not sure what you mean. i already have a shotgun for skeet and i just bought this one since i got a deal and for a home defense type. and i heard you cant shoot slugs through certain chokes? and i know nothing about chokes. ive only put maybe 10 rounds through it and i expected it to have terrible range but it looked ok out at like maybe 30 yards

 

yeah its custom lol

 

You must live in a safe area: bad guys knock before entering, and they come only after 9.

I've had an attempted break-in at 2 pm on a Sunday. The suspects completely ignored the Taco in the driveway and went for the bugscreen in an open window. Fortunately a confrontation was not need.
