BudsGunShop.com - Are shotguns really outdated for home defense

  • Are shotguns really outdated for home defense

    in Long Gun


  • Visited my local gun store today and he told me he is no longer selling shotguns for home defense. He said everyone today wants the fancy ARs and short barrel 9mm. With the price of ammo and training required, I wonder if this is true? Fancy may not always be better, especially when a stove pipe or jam happens. Just wondering.

  • Hi James, this is not true at all. I think that gun shop is pushing those other guns because they have a higher profit margin than, say, a Maverick 88.
    A lot of people still use and will tell you nothing beats a shotgun for home defense.
    Stay safe & have a great day!

  • Hi James and welcome. This is far from the truth. A good shotgun is one of the best all-around firearms for home defense considering the higher one shot stop capability. Cheers and stay safe!

  • I think they're still quite popular. A lot of indoor ranges don't allow shotguns, but it's still a superb option for a home defense gun.
