That is entirely correct, but if you are expecting our criminal to flee in
fear of the shotgun that now has a round chambered, you are likely to be
suprised by the speed, intensity and violence of the attack by our not
intimidated intruder, especially if the encounter is, as most homeowner
defense type situations are, at very close range.

Well then that raises the next question on my mind.
What is better for this situation, a full stock on
a shotgun, or a pistol-grip?

Any comments from those in the know?

Thanks - Jim

Full stock with moderate length barrel. Its very hard to aim (and you
DO have to aim a shotgun) with a pistol grip stock, and weapons
retention if someone gets a hold of the end of it..really sucks. Not
to mention recoil and second shot recovery is very bad with a pistol
gripped shotgun.
