Combat Auto 174 Posted December 19, 2012 I am totally new to shotguns - and given I will not be able to get an AR anytine soon I am looking at a shotgun... Is this legal in NJ: http://www.benelliusa.com/shotguns/benelli-m4.php And how can you tell if it will shoot slugs (self defense in home application - but I have a pet so no scatter shot)? Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted December 19, 2012 Pistol grips on a S/A shotgun are a no-no in NJ. Also, slugs are a poor choice for HD with a shotgun. The overpenetration potential is just too high. Within the ranges encountered within your home, some type of multiple shotshell is best. The pattern will not expand enough that you should have to worry about collateral damage. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rightisright 3 Posted December 19, 2012 The law is 18" (Fed and NJ). But manufacturers make them 18.5" to err on the safe side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adios, Pizza Bob You can have a pistol grip on a semi shotgun as long as it doesn't have a removable mag I believe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
