Thanks for the education, everyone. My primary HD weapon is a handgun, but I had always thought of the pistol gripped 12 gauge in my safe as a back-up. After reading everyone's responses, it sounds like I may be better off just keeping a few extra loaded mags next to my 1911.

And for the love of Pete... Please tell me that you're not using one with "only" a pistol grip (no shoulder stock).

Those are horrible defense weapons… /RANT / TANGENT

Totally agree there 100%
We tried that a few years back and that is a bad idea.

OK, I'll bite.

What makes these "horrible" defense weapons for close range shots that one would encounter inside a typical home?

Does anyone know of a good, shotgun friendly range near West Houston? I'm looking for a good place to test fire my home defense 12 gauge with pistol grip.
