You're welcome. I re-tested the sluggers with 9 rounds vs. 5.

Good stuff. I fully agree with your opinion that a smoothbore shotgun can be quite effective with slugs at 100 (or more), as do the results in many of your videos.
Appreciate you sharing.
Smoothbore shotguns rule, my 18.5" 870 does great with anything honestly. Great videos!!
I'm happy with my 870 and slugs. This was through a 14" cylinder bbl.

Always love your threads. I never got why LE chooses buckshot over slugs for a standard load. Seems just as devestating terminal effects with more flexibility for longer range engagements.
There are many people who are good, decent people who for many reasons wont and probably should not carry a handgun on the street. But there is no reason their home should be undefended. Many of them have some experience from hunting with pump shotguns on operating them etc....
There is no reason for them to make the binary choice of: Spend $2500 on an AR15, accessories, classes and practice costs OR have nothing at all. There is a middle ground and the shotgun fills it well.
I think there are several reasons:
1) The old 'alleysweeper' or 'streetbroom' myth. Once you got the old 'the shotgun is a point and shoot weapon that doesn't require precise aim' dogma going in law enforcement, it was hard to beat it out. Many admin folks, and even LE trainers, are not familiar with shotguns.
As late as 1981, my workplace was teaching stance directed hip shooting with the shotgun. Some old timers might remember that for several years Calibre Press was advocating a quasi sternum-mount shooting position with the shotgun.
Pure idiocy and madness.
2) Too much concern about over-penetration with slugs.
3) Many LE folks shy away from slugs due to recoil aversion - even with the excellent performing reduced recoil slugs almost every ammo maker produces.
4) Many folks think you cant use slugs effectively with bead sights.
Just a couple of examples.
