Do you own a shotgun already?

If so, buy the same type of shotgun you have now and make modifications to it for your home defense shotgun. That way, you already know all the functions of the gun making it easier to operate in a rushed, dark situation.

I prefer the pump action because in my opinion they are more reliable.

Get a pump there is nothing that will freeze a person faster than the sound of a shotgun being pumped.

Because you don't carry a pistol to a gun fight.

Best home defense weapon Mossberg 500. Inexpensive(paid $200.00 in 95),reliable and if you have owned one for 30 plus years you know where everything is located. Thumb safety on top, ejector button ,lt side behind the trigger guard (best for a rt hand shooter). Now for hunting, i prefer my remington 870 -#1 reason, it doesn't kick like a mule as my mossberg 500does but gives a push instead, alsothe trigger is more "attuned' to hunting situations than the 500.

Gotta agree with the mossberg for all the reasons above. Reliaility, that unforgettale sound of the action, less likely to jam.
