    I keep a handgun and an AR-15 in my bedroom for self-defense purposes. The reasons behind this will be discussed at length in a later video.
    That said, if I for reasons wanted to use a shotgun for home defense, it would without question be my Benelli M4 and here are the 5 reasons why.
    However, as important as the type of gun is when it comes to home defense, it's also about the training and ensuring you're prepared.
    That's why I'm a USCCA member.
    It's an easy way to cover all my bases if I ever had to use my gun in self-defense.
    I could find myself in a costly legal case to prove that me using my gun was justified.
    The beautiful thing about a USCCA membership is that you don't just get self-defense insurance; you also get access to their treasure trove of education and training programs.

    Another reason for the m4 is because you can own it in California, if you are unfortunate enough to live there, without having to neuter it, and you have an extremely capable semi auto gun in a state where it is hard to own anything. I'm honored to have it as my first ever firearm.

    I fell in love with from my old service days with the M1014. Years ago before I got into 3 gun shooting, I was looking for a shotgun to fill that void. As fate may have it, one of my local FFLs had 2 and picked one up. My only regret was not buying both when I had the chance.

If I had the money, I might go with a Benelli, but it's more likely I'd buy a box-mag bullpup 12-gauge for half the price and spend the rest on a rifle...or ammo.

    Benelli M4 is great and all but spending $3k to fully kit it with the good stock, light mount, red dot, tube extension, 922R (if you care enough), this is speaking from experience. Once you have one though, e very other shotgun seems dumb but a break action.

      Must have been a minute since you bought your kit (or the world is sane again since the last time I attempted to buy one) ; about a year and half ago I purchased one and $3K was there price for the base package straight out of the crate direct from Italy. Except my order was cancelled; they couldn't import them fast enough or in large enough quantities to meet the demand and the crate my local sporting outfit had reserved either fell through after the fact or was oversold from pending backorders. I got a bead on one in Texas and it was running the same price point. And this was through an associate of a friend. Also was gone by the best day or two by the time I responded. So, they were running that price stock, before w even consider the beating the dollar has taken recently with regards to inflation. I couldn't get one at any cost while shouting, "take my money" and eaving cash in the air, metaphorically speaking. Except for the cash part. I was offering cash to anyone that could get my hands on an M4 in any condition. Maybe three market is sane again, but I'm not holding my breath.

    While I have shot the Benelli in 3-gun my go to home defense shotgun, until recently, was a Mossberg 590 and having shot it in 3-gun and trained to use it, I am comfortable running a pump. As a matter of fact, I sometimes falter with a semi-auto as I try to operate the pump, just the opposite of what you did while you were waiting for your pump to cycle. Now I have a 590S Shockwave that feeds 1 3/4 inch shells and is much more comfortable to corner in my house while I am clearing it, it's kind of like an oversize handgun, well, actually it is.

    The M4 is a great tactical shotgun . The one big thing they did that messed it up was what they did with the magizine tube making it far more expensive and difficult to install an extended magizine tube. This is where the M2 sines for less money. ( although both are over priced compared to other great semi auto self defense shotguns)
    If you like the m4 or m2 you really should try a FNH SLP 12 gage semi auto. It is a truly great shotgun. And for 3 gun competition check out the XRAIL M2 semi auto shotgun and remove the need to reload all together. It is a 28+1 round rotary fed semi automatic 12 guage. Or you can get just the xrail system and install it to your favorite shot gun in 16 to 25 rd options.
    But the m4 is a proven tank for sure

      The 590 platform also takes the easy conversion to use the Aguila 1-1/2" Mini Shells. At home defense ranges the #1B/#4B duplex load is still effective with, I think 27 pellets. And accepts 13-14 rounds of availability.

    I’m a middle age late to gun ownership guy. I chose the Benelli M4 as my first and only shotgun. Positives : shoots like a dream. Like CN said it feels like a rifle. The lack of recoil is impressive. Negative: not intuitive around loading and unloading. I’m happy w my choice but I’ll need lots more practice before I feel competent using it as my go to home defense.

      @looloo6322 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have the 7 round tube and with ghost loading one extra round, I get nine. So 9 rounds of #00 Buck should do the trick. You are correct, loading is a little slower than other semi-auto shotguns and I still have to think about what I'm doing, most people get the Beretta 1301 for three gun competitions due to the ease of reloading.

They were nice enough to respond back and told me, that both the "Improved Cylinder" and "Cylinder" chokes (with 4 and 5 notches on them respectfully) are the only ones that's safe to shoot both ammo types from the same choke without having to swap-out to another.

    If you want to use a shotgun for home defense make sure you make a good choice on your ammunition; #4 Buckshot was determined by FBI ballistic testing to be the best shotgun ammunition regarding home defense as it is lethal at defensive ranges, pattern well out of a cylinder bore, and had the minimum risk of over penetration. While the FBI found the .223/5.56x45mm was the best round in general for home defense as it was lethal and had the minimum past penetration distance of the rounds tested. 00 Buckshot penetrates much greater than #4 Buckshot and is able to travel through enough wall structures to equate to 2+ houses when it is not stopped by a body with slugs (12 ga.) being able to actually go past 4 houses of equivalent walls. Oddly pistol caliber ammunition’s were also quite prone to over penetrate when a body was missed.
    Our department and our co-training department also did quite a bit of independent ballistic testing and found similar results; we still standardized 00 Buckshot for most of the time, however warrant service in homes emptied and reloaded #4 Buckshot. Personally I too prefer an AR pattern rifle for home defense but do run 3-gun competitions and have a tactical shotgun (Remington 870 police special with tritium night sights) which doubles up as a home defense backup, it is loaded with #4 Buckshot with 00 Buckshot set up on a side saddle and slugs set up on a stock saddle.
    Whatever you choose practice as I’ve seen people that have, under stress, forgot to pump the shotgun. You can also keep a shotgun patrol ready, which can be a bit safer than keeping a round chambered; patrol ready involves closing the action on a verified empty chamber, loading the magazine tube, then pulling the trigger, this leaves the slide unlocked and simply requires racking to load a round. If you choose to keep a round loaded then that’s fine to.

The only thing that makes me hesitant on it is the fact that it's nearly 2G's where I'm at AND if I wind up using it defensively then it's 2G's the police will be holding onto for a while as they do their 'investigation.' Seems like the police have an easy path to taking possession of a citizen's firearm but a not so easy path in returning it even when they've found no evidence of wrongdoing and it would be too great of a temptation for them to not want to give it back ever.

    My only complaint is how stiff the loading can be as a stock setup.
    My 400XP Wraith is a total breeze to load and has lighter recoil than the M4.....though it's a little big for HD at 53 inches. The 940 mossberg and 1301 Beretta are also solid choices imo.
    I don't have a stoeger so I can't really have an opinion on them.
