Re: Home defense - birdshot, buckshot or slugs?

Birdshot is for birds. Also, any load that will reliably stop a bad guy will penetrate sheetrock.

All of the other loads mentioned in this thread will work fine for self defense. In some gelatin tests the slugs actually penetrate less than some buckshot loads. Do your homework, pick the load that works best for you as determined from both your research and live fire, and play the "what if" game in your house to determine safe fields of fire.

Did I mention birdshot is for birds?
