YO! Welcome aboard

I've never considered using slugs or sabot rounds for home defense, but I was wondering what are the options out there besides 00 and 000 buck? I know Remington and Winchester have some new buck-n-ball stuff but what home defense slugs do you guys use? Recommend? Practice with?

The ammo I had was a wide range of stuff. Federal 115g hyda-shoks and 115g JHP Hornady TAP 124g FPD and Critical Defense 115 FTX Winchester Silver Tip 115g, 147g SXT and their new stuff PDX1 124g +P JHP and 147g JHP So far the top contenders are the Winchester PDX1 124g +P, Hornady Critical Defense 115g, Federal LE 115g+P+, Speer Gold Dot 124g and the Federal Hydra Shok 115g It seems the heavier stuff seems to open up the groups when I shoot. Another thing too is that the newer manufactured ammo (Hornady, Speer and PDX1) have more thump than the older stuff. That happened again today.

Round 2

Just so you guys understand, this was voted on a few years ago and missed my 2 votes. Many pro gun senators and Representatives have since filled those anti-gun seats. This has a very good chance of becoming law.

Sorry Matt I figured if you can't beat'em, join'em! Shot about 50 rounds of bird, buck, and slugs today. 9 rounds of 12 gauge goodness is wonderful! It smoothed out the action a little bit, which is no where nears the smoothness of an 870 but not bad. Another box or 2 of bird loads and she'll be ready for NJ ZED training.

what is LARPing?

And I'll buy your old light off of you right now!

How bout this? http://www.viridiangreenlaser.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=80&osCsid=7685d6898b56241e53e338726e2b4430

I do exactly what Lunker (Chris) does. Use my middle finger to drop the magazine and my trigger finger to drop the slide.

I hope it's legal, there's one sitting in my safe now!

Great post. The Bullet Hole is a business, and they make lots of money on the brass you leave behind. That picture is a bunch of nonsense, I'm sure you can find other blown up guns using brass cased factory ammo.

Not to steal this thread but I'd love an AK, I really would. But I'm always finding something more that I want.

Hence the stupidity of the permit system, paying for 2 NICS checks should be illegal.

Do they have to be Gen 4 mags?

John, love your pic!

There's a few issues there. One is what's legal/illegal, the other is that I'd have to stock up on another caliber and magazines.

Great gun, and who said that handguns are not the best choice for home defense?

What's next? Oh wait, I changed your mind on a Cx4 and the LCR. So we're even right?

12 cents a pound, and if you have a bucket with 80 pounds of cases thats $9.60 bucks. Not bad. Unless you make frequent trips to the scrap yard, your better off just saving it for when your going with a big load of other metals.

home defense, YES. Night shooting? If we can

Yeah, that's right. It's a Mossberg 590A1

Nope

Glenn, your correct except for one thing. Even the steel cased ammo is still worth scrapping, although the value won't be nearly as high. Remember, "metal is money!"
