It works on many ways like a machine gun. You have to work with it a bit to learn how to regulate. My range has a training course to teach you how to use it and you can shoot yours indoors after you get the training and certification.

Depends on where you live. Not everyone has neighbors close by.

So 7 people are offensively attacking you and you think the racking sound of a shotgun is the big scary response needed. But...that sound sends home invaders a-runnin!

Well it’s apparent to me that neither of you know how to shot a shotgun and you don’t mind collateral damage. You all also are not aware that trailers have very thin walls.

I agree with you. If you are in a trailer park it’s not a good idea. No neighbors? Have at it.

Racking a round is merely radar and makes it easier for the intruder to find you.
Unless you have a Benelli Semi-Auto filled with sabots...to literally cut em down...

Don’t believe the sound of the racking is what does it, although it would make ME think twice... But LOOK AT THE RESULTS of this invasion - over 30 rounds sprayed, and how many hits? Hmmmmmm? Apparently, the defenders were not very accurate, and who can blame them?
I believe in a jam, you’re more likely to be able to land a couple of 00 balls in a spread than successfully hit a target in the dark with a rifle. Anyway, that’s the thought behind the Mossberg beside my bed...

Pretty sure I do know how to use a shotgun, also dont live
In a trailer. And if you are worried about that, you can load your shotgun with less-lethal rounds that wont penetrate. *Any* centerfire major caliber cartridge will go through a trailer wall, even .380.
If you feel racking your firearm is required because the situation is life-threatening, you should be opening fire and using the element of surprise not performing threat displays.

To: golux
Amen. My first grab is my "nightstand" 15-round 9mm semi-auto with tactical light (with a 30+ round mag as a refill). If I have to retreat, I fall back to a loaded Mossberg semi-auto 12 gauge, with 2-25 round quick-access pouches for reloading.
Between the 2, there is enough firepower to back even the most determined B&E specialists off...

I should have never said racking a round as I keep my shotgun loaded and I can fire it fast enough that you can't even hear me racking it. Sorry.
Also, my radishes are coming up good.

To: Spktyr; Vendome
I sold my Saiga. Fun but too expensive to shoot. Mine would only shoot high brass and with a 6,12, and 20 round mag. it got real expensive.

I should not have wrote racking a round. I keep one in the chamber and I can fire it fast enough that you cannot hear me rackin a round.

I can’t think of any better home defense weapon than a suppressed SBR. Doesn’t necessarily have to be in 5.56.
