12 gauge for home defense
Yes a 12 gauge is great but pay attention to to caveats in other messages. The recoil is heavy, especially with Buckshot loads.
Since the Taurus Judge came out (a 410 revolver), cartridge manufacturers have developed some really effective 410 specialty defense loads. As an HQL instructor, I like to end my handgun classes with my students shooting my 410 Mossberg Super Bantam to show them how much easier it is to be more effective be with it than a handgun.
