Shotguns not only provide an excellent means of self-defense, they are also used for hunting and recreation. The shotgun is often the close-quarters defensive tool of choice, due to its high hit probability and impressive terminal ballistics. You will learn how to safely load and unload a shotgun and how to safely store it for defense use in the home. Additional topics include selection of weapon and ammunition, patterning and zeroing considerations, practical shooting and firing positions, reloading under duress, engagement of single and multiple threats, and use of cover.
Nearly any quality 12 or 20 gauge shotgun will do, but we would like you to have a experience handling a suitable defensive shotgun. The Remington 870 or 1187, the Mossburg 590, the Beretta 1201, or the Benelli Super 90 in the law enforcement version are preferred. Barrel length should not exceed twenty inches. We do not recommend the Winchester pump or autoloader or the Ithaca (or Stevens). Your shotgun should have a stock, either fixed or folding and must have a sling.
