Message: <blockquote data-quote="MrShooter" data-source="post: 1835368" data-attributes="member: 14771">I don't agree that "anything smaller than 00 buck" is ineffective. I prefer 8 or 9 shot 2 3/4 in my shotgun. 10 yards is about my average shooting distance in my house and if a handful of those rounds don't stop a threat then I shouldn't be camping in Jurassic park. I would prolly use 00 or 000 if I lived by myself in a large house in the middle of nowhere. But here in the suburbs with 2 small kids in my house and Sheetrock walls I think 8 or 9 shot will be more than capable of stopping an invader in my home. I don't not keep a live round chambered in my pump shotgun, not because I want someone to hear a pump but because if my shotgun falls off the wall or something like that...there is no mechanism to stop that pin from striking the primer. As for my 9mm M&P, that stays loaded with one in the tube 24/7.</blockquote>
