I'm more of a handgun/rifle type but my wife thinks she would feel more comfortable with a scattergun for HD when she is home alone.(living in Stockton CA) I can understand her feelings.We have a Mossberg 500 with the 18 in barrel installed.My wife is a small lady,5.2'115# and I don't think she could handle a full on buckshot/slug shell.What would be a low recoil round but still potent enough to make the low life types take it elsewhere?
