Penetrate too much because the target is a human?
Don't point a gun at someone unless you're ready to kill them. I understand you should consider objects and people in the background, but I'm not concerned about keeping the intruder alive.

It am sure it is the objects in the background that is the concern of too much penetration. I would strongly suggest that a load of #8 even at 25 yards will deter aggression. I got sprayed by a stupid ass pheasant hunter once at 100 yards and it stung like crazy.

@Nashorn101 What ever you go with, 9 mm, .45, 12 ga or ball bat. It all boils down to practice, training and the mental preparedness to use the weapon you have chosen for Home or Self defense. If it's a gun, go to the range and fire it often. If the range will allow, do a few push ups before firing or run in place. Firing while you are nice and clam is much different than with heart rate up and shaky hands. Practice moving through your home with it and opening doors and going around corners. Then train for what happens if it gets taken away from you.
Well, he is the one always bitching about pictures, so there you go.
We had to run an obstacle course shooting at threats along the way then engage a hostage taker. It was a head shot with the victims head right next to the bad guys head, kinda cheek to ear. We trained to fire under pressure and I am so glad we did.
Throw in a flak jacket, Kevlar helmet while they blow stuff up around you. Anyone who has served or is an LEO knows that when it’s time to squeeze the trigger it is very rarely while you are slow breathing and getting perfect sight picture.
One of those find little tourist stores on the main strip while driving through Sisters
Hey, you are the one that threw down the gauntlet and tried to claim the title of supreme smartass and when it's all over, you'll probably want rethink that position. I'm just getting warmed up.
Back to topic for a second: #8 shot- Remington 870 pump with short barrel. They were the shotgun e evry one saw in the rack in police cars. They were there for a reason! (They didn't have #8 shot)
Now back to Blaine-—-can I be your asshole in training or would I have to shoot Matt and take his place?
I've seen your welding, I'd rather you didn't shoot Matt.Back to topic for a second: #8 shot- Remington 870 pump with short barrel. They were the shotgun e evry one saw in the rack in police cars. They were there for a reason! (They didn't have #8 shot)
