Y'all, what's the move for home defense, birdshot or buckshot? I'm trying to figure out what actually stops trouble without overdoing it
 
Buckshot is generally better for home defense, it reliably stops threats. Birdshot often lacks penetration. Choose 00 or #1 buck, use an 18 to 20 inch barrel, and train regularly with realistic drills
