I think the Mossberg home defense shotgun is stil made. You can get OOO buckshot for it which is 3 .41 cal balls. It also has a recoil eleminator on it. I bought one for a friend and played around with it. It is an excellent weapon.

For myself, I have the New Ruger 44 mag carbine. It only holds 5 rounds but you can put in another magazine. I perfer it over a pistol.

Actually a good weapon also is an SKS with the bayonet still attached. There is just something about looking at a bayonet that bothers people. I would suspect that a good machine shop could rig up any carbine or rifle with a workable bayonet. Don't laugh, think about it, would you want to face a home owner who was going to either shoot you or stick you?

An ex-girlfriend's dad bought an SKS way back when we were dating. Ugly as heck, but I was surprised at how accurate the thing actually was. He paid $100.00 for it brand new (several years ago, but cheap even then!) and used it to deer hunt in heavy brush areas where he didn't want to risk scuffing up his .300 mag. I can imagine seeing a bayonet poointed at you would make you think twice about charging!

Glad to hear Mossberg is still making that .410. I thought it was a good idea then and still do!

'Surefire' flashlights have a bezel attachment that is basically a big serrated blade that runs arounf the rim of the light. If you have one mounted on the end of your weapon it makes a nice CQB slicer/dicer.

Not the same visual deterrent as a bayonette, though.
