Re: Home Defense: 00 Buck or #4 Buck?
I have always used Bird Shot in my HD shotgun.

Re: Home Defense: 00 Buck or #4 Buck?
When you really want to stop the threat, #4 alternated with slugs every other round for home defense.
If the bad guy is wearing a "bullet-proof" vest, I want him to go down and stay down...
The slugs also give you the opportunity to shoot through interior walls of your brick home without exposing yourself to return fire. You're obviously gonna need some spackle to patch the walls after the investigation, but it's a small price to pay for keeping your family safe...- bamboomaster

Re: Home Defense: 00 Buck or #4 Buck?
phil,
You asked a similar question a year or so ago. My advice remains the same. Hear is a cut and paste:
phil,
Yes. #4 high brass.
Need proof? Know of an old tree stump? Step back a couple paces and let her rip.
I don't think any home invader, hopped up or not, would not be stopped or retreat.
#4 Buck? Vietnam yes. Bedroom, not necessary.
Just my .02 worth.
Best wishes,

Re: Home Defense: 00 Buck or #4 Buck?
If things are bad enough that I'm shooting someone invading my home, then I want to destroy the threat, not slow it or hurt it, I want it destroyed.
If my home is brick and I have no kids, then I'm going with 00 buck.
If I have kids or other collateral concerns then a shotgun is not the weapon of choice.How can you have any cookies if you don't drink your milk?

My shotgun would not be my first choice, but it's there.

Re: Home Defense: 00 Buck or #4 Buck?
Understood. My intent was not to say bird shot would not be useful as a home defense round, but to clarify the difference between what the OP asked and what the post I quoted was referring to if, as I prefaced my comment with, the poster was confusing #4 buck with #4 shot.
You are a straight white man. You don't get to be the victim, sweetie.
