It's very hard to move around doors with it. no matter how I try.
Inside the house Im better of with my SBR. A colt commando remake 11.5in barrel. or my fancied up Norinco 1911 which I have been shooting ipsc with. 100% reliable.
Here in my country, walls are made of cement. 3 inch machine hollow blocks filled with cement. with at least 1 inch of plastered cement. no way is #4 bird shot comming through. It's just the neighbors that im worried about since if there's an intruder i'll probably be shooting away from the house.
I'm sorry, but you are just sort of wrong... There is nothing more lethal in close quarters than a short barrel 12gauge loaded with the right shells..
Hand guns are a good back up to the shotgun, but rifles? I have every interest in killing an intruder and none at all in killing my neighbor across the street..
