I live in a townhouse, so that was my primary reason for choosing #4 over 00. I said this on the first page but if I run thru the 6 rounds of #4 that I keep in the tube, I have 6 more rounds of 00 on the side saddle to follow up with. To be perfectly honest tho, if 6 rounds of #4 won’t solve the problem in my home, I really don’t know what else would. At the distances I have to work with, I can’t imagine #4 not being devastating. | |||

Used to use reduced recoil #4 with flite control, but gave all of that to my 80ish year old dad. Now use either Winchester ranger 00 or Hornady TAP 00, both with flite control wads. | |||

Keltec KS7 Bullpup 12 gauge, loaded with a bunch of #4 buck in "Federal Shortys", gives me about a 6"pattern at 7 yards.... I tried Aguila Mini shells but they were not 100% reliable for me. ymmv | |||

Just wanted to add, this is how good Federal flight control is.. 15 yds, 18” riot barrel (15 yds bc that’s the longest shot I can take inside my home) Yes that’s 2 and 7/8”  "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

Mike - I agree with you 1000% related to Flight Control. I was able to pick some up for $1.00 a round and once they arrived I patterned both our Benelli M2 and my Benelli Nova (shop gun) and both patterned very well so it became our home defense round. Our primary home defense gun is now a Benelli M2 because older adults CAN short stroke a pump shotgun. Now my wife and I both are trained on using the M2 and we practice with this shotgun about every 45-60 days - dry firing and at the range. | |||

This thread reminds me I need to get a good shotgun for home defense. You guys have some nice examples. | |||

Forgot to mention that we have a Stoger 12ga side by side behind the headboard for Mrs. Mike’s use if we have unannounced visitors in the middle of the night.( it’s a cut down to 18” uplander-internal hammers) I recently changed the ammo to the federal reduced recoil LE flight controlled 00buck that Dennis was very kind to send me.

I have an old 870P that is probably 25 years old. I did the serial number lookup and a few years ago and I think that age is really close to what I recall. It still had the name tag on it when it was turned in by some Florida PD. It's awfully smooth. I had it refinished and add some accessories to make it better for me. I also built a 20 gauge 870 that was turned into a P model and it's a mini clone of the 870P. It's fun to shoot and I've taken a few classes with it. 12" Hogue stock on both. FC ammo is simply the best stuff around for distance. Too bad it isn't available in 20 gauge. | |||
