    I'm shooting downward and a light "recoil managed" load of #4 lead isn't going to bounce around like a 2700fps FMJ ball round.

    Are you saying #4 shot or #4 buck?

    Either way there are better home defense loads for the shotgun. Most gunshot wound guys say that #1 buck hits the sweet spot.

    Between my nightstand and the headboard of my bed, very hard to notice but always in reach. One in the chamber, safety on.

    It leaves one hand available to manipulate door knobs, security panels, cell phone, pick up a child, et al. and typically will not over penetrate while utilizing reputable HP ammo (assuming 9mm). YMMV.

It makes it look like I have a person backing me up in case the shit gets real.

    The 9mm penetrate more than my 5.56. I have a sling if I need to operate a security panel. I can hold the rifle one handed if need be. I keep all doors open 45 degrees except for the room I’m in.

    The whole thread was worth it just to see the above. I am going to steal this from you Moose-Knuckle and probably not give you credit. My attorney accept papers when you sue me.

    More importantly the sling if deployed correctly will negate a disarm by an intruder(s). Something that happens when one rounds corners with a longarm.

    Yes but can you fire it accurately at a moving target that does not wish to be shot while also activating your WML with said one hand?

    I'll assume your speaking of interior doors. You may find yourself in a situation where you will have to bail and unlock and manipulate exterior doors, possibly while taking fire and or shooting.

    The scenarios are infinite and there are no wrong answers to what a homeowner chooses be it handgun, shotgun, or rifle.

    No worries as I stole it from someone else.

    Where it’s readily accessible?
