Very nice shotgun. Shotgun is the best choice for home defense. The sheer variety of shells to best fit your environment and needs is proof of it's versatility. If you want something that has a high first-round stop percentage, go with the shotgun. *****
Couple suggestions,ditch the flare round and put another buckshot round in there. If its a home defense gun your not going to shoot a flare and expect help,in a emergency you are the help. Also ditch the laser or atleast ditch the corded pressure switch,you dont want anything interfering with the action of the gun especially in an emergency where your adrenilin is pumping,simple makes effective. Overall you have a very good gun just dont make it more than it has to be. Good day.
Also, shotgun is DEFINITELY the best home defense, for several reasons. Here's two: stopping power of a 12 gauge 00buckshot shell is higher than even a 45 magnum, yet it has LESS RISK of traveling through walls and killing innocent people than a .38. Concerning grabbing it from your bed - hopefully you should be OUT of your bed to be able to fight properly, or you may already have lost... but by all means keep a backup snubnose on your nightstand.

May I make a suggestion about that trigger lock..Practice in a planned panic opening that thing..I had one on a revolver and needed to get it unlocked one night cuz some one kicked at my door..Needless to say that trigger lock was in the garbage the next day..Not saying it isnt good for what it does but in a hurry,when half asleep it may cause a problem..IMO theres better ones out there..Good luck..
1100 is better, don't understand fascination with pump. Do people think the racking noise makes criminals run? I'd rather bet on being able to shoot fast and accurately. Folding stock upsets balance, makes less accurate, and can catch in clothing, pistol grip bad for wrist, extra ammo on the stock can also catch clothing. 8 in my shotgun is enough. The light will shake off in use (you do practice with it right?) Surefire integrated into forend is best, a bit pricey but worth it.
@lifes40123 ....and btw,you don't need to lecture me on shotguns. I own two superb H&K tactical 12 pumps. The whole point I am making is that in order for a weapon to work against an intruder(s) is that you be able to have it in hand and ready in an instant. Impossible for a long gun. A knife in your hand would be better than a 12 gauge under your bed.
@craigdamage damn for reals thats scary 4 guys...... .38 isnt strong enough if your dealing with big guys.. the only good weapon for home defense against that is automatic guns/rifles but its hard to get them these days..
@lifes40123 really? check out "home invasion" video right here on you tube. Also,gun writer and security expert Mas Ayoob once detailed a story in which a single woman who lived alone in an inner city apartment woke up in the middle of the night with four men ALREADY in her room. One was ON TOP OF HER. She reached over to her nightstand where she had a .38 snub under a magazine and blasted away at point blank. How would a shotgun under her bed have helped?
@craigdamage lol i saw the video and they act like its gonna be a action pack movie where u have to save your family and kill all the bad guys because the bad guys are not gonna give up before the cops come..... most of the time the bad guys will just run away if they see a gun and it fires...
@lifes40123 Next time you see "4 scary big guys" point a .38 at them and see what happens. Watch the "Clint Smith Revolver" video here on youtube and tell me that guy would be outgunned with just a .38.
@millerusaf Sorry. Shotgun is WORST choice for home defense. Shotgun would be fine if you are all safe and ready on your porch and the aggressor(s) are out on your lawn. If invader(s) come crashing into your home you can NOT have a shotgun ready and in battery fast enough. If you are in bed you will have to get up,grab the shotgun,rack the slide and hope they aren't already on top of you. My snub .38 on my nightstand can be in my hand in less than 1/2 second even when I am laying down in bed.
@craigdamage u sleep with your gun? lmfao.. i dont belive a robber will break into your house and go into your bed room and kill u right away instead of tryna figure out the place first..... just have your shotgun under your bed or in your closet.. shotsguns with one shot the pellets will spray and it will hit.. rifles,pistols u need 1 accruate shot to hit but im sure u can hit but others can not thats why shotgun is best home defense weapon.. many pellets or 1 bullet?
too big and bulky for home use simple is better ther is too much coladerial damage with a shotgun........get a pistol get good with it thats all you need

No I mean do you know how much he paid back in the day for the actual shotgun?

buck shot is one bullet not the pellets
@nolaOE800 Upside down ma let the shell fall out under recoil.
