Summary: Hey there listeners, I'm getting a bit of a late start this week due to the crazy weather we're having here in the Pacific Northwest. First off, our travel plans have changed fairly dramatically due to the snow (yes, snow on the beach-crazy, no?) so we're hunkering down for another day or so. With that in mind, I'm trying to get episodes set up for the week but am a bit late posting for Monday. Stay safe out there... On this podcast I discuss some of the considerations for choosing a home defense or general survival shotgun. I discuss a few specific models that I consider to be among your best options, compare the performance of different loads for the shotgun and try to cover a number of concerns you may want to keep in mind when selecting a shotgun for defensive purposes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mossberg_500 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_870 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ithaca_37 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mossberg_Maverick http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_1200 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benelli_Supernova http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_1100 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beretta#Shotguns As is often the case I didn't have the time to go back and remove various sound artifacts, so I apologize in advance if the sound isn't the smoothest you've ever heard. :) (Picture taken from Wikipedia site about the Remington 870 under the http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License
