I don't understand why anyone would use slugs in the home.

Isn't there too great a chance of penetration trough walls and greater chance of hitting something you would never want to ?

You are right about slugs going threw walls but i have 4 reasons why i do ,
1. i have a rifled slug barrel
2. the house i live in has sheetrock over plaster and a outer shell of brick.
3. the ammo i use is a managed recoil slug that doesn't go as fast as normal slugs.
4. i now have made the decision to make it my back up weapon instaed of my primary weapon.

I think I'd be equally worried if not more so of my interior walls.

Anyway , I guess it's just a personal choice ... I prefer 00Buck myself in a 2 3/4 shell with a .357 back up ... if that aint good enough for home defense , I must be in big trouble.

Up to today I used 8 00 buck in my 590 with 6 slugs in a side saddle. This was my secondary weopon that is behind the bedroom door. My primary is my Glock 23 in a holster mounted to the night stand just inches from my pillow.

If I hear odd noises that need investigating I use the Glock. If there is a for sure invader in the home I get to the bedroom door with the Glock, pass the 590 to the wife to hold her ground there and I grab the AR and work my way through the house.

However I shipped off my 590 this morning for Texas as I traded for a Mossberg 930 SPX. By the weekend the SPX will reside behind the bedroom door I hope.

There is a lot of really funny people on here. I think that one joke is on here 6 times.

But thank you to everyone who was serious.

Im not trying to be a smart ass, I thought it was funny..... the first time.
