Personally - but nothing personal JodyH - if my shotgun and ammo patterned like that, I would not use it for home defense.

Why?

What if the only shot I had was a head shot?

At 12yds with that pattern, what would the chances be of me scoring a fight stopper to his noggin?

There's no telling what the intruder will present for me to shoot.

For that reason, my primary HD gun is a carbine.

No point in listing the advantages, as they're well known.

AFWIW, I have a 590 with a modified choke, and shoot Fed LE132 or Fed LE127 in it. The 132 gives me about fist sized groups at 12 yds - or pretty close to that. Been a while.
