Best Ammo for home defense

[CaliPitt]

Just need a little input on which ammo is best for home defense?? any suggestions can help

9mm in a 4 inch plus barrel. It won't blind you, and you can have lots of boolits.

low recoil 00 buck that functions reliably in your gun and patterns well.

Tough setup for a shotgun.

You are right, I did not notice the forum. What you said.

This should do the trick.

Yep, all 10 of them. This is CA after all.

This is a shotgun forum. Simple answer in 20 or 12 gauge : reduced recoil 00 buckshot, followed by #1 buckshot, followed by #4 buckshot. Brand is up to you, pattern your shotgun with different shells from different manufacturers and see what works best under 10 yards.

I like it. Not for home defense but I like it. I never saw one of those before. Who makes/sells it?

I would put #1 ahead of 00 buck in effectiveness, and toss out the #4 all together as penetration is just too inconsistant, especially through heavy clothing, or houshold barriers (yes bad guys use cover too).

I have been having fantasies of getting a Stoeger side by side, putting in a couple of .44 mag, or 45-70 adapters, and living out my African hunting fantasies on some wild boar.
