"...Birdshot at close range is like a slug. It will handily penetrate sheetrock like it isn't there..."

Of course it will, pal, but I don't intend to be 'at close range'! If anyone gets to the bedroom door, I'll be unloading six rounds at 30 feet, and I'll probably kill the TV, but nobody's getting in that room, Nov3!

When I drop the Mossberg, I'll pick-up the M-9 Barretta, and check for survivors, when the smoke clears. Stay well and vigilant, pal...FRegards

Well pal, you've got a bigger house than I do! If I shoot from the hallway though the kitchen I might get a 30 foot shot in my ~2000 square foot house. Even at that distance it has about a 4-6 inch pattern though that is the point at which it starts opening.

You have a 30 foot shot in your bedroom? That's intimating you have a 500 - 1000 square foot bedroom. I worked construction for years in the 80's and saw some big bedrooms but 30 feet wide? Sheesh!!!!! maybe with trusses...
