“At these generally close ranges, birdshot is devastatingly effective …”?
That stuff doesn’t even hurt Republicans. It won’t stop an attacker at much beyond contact distance.
How about #1 or #2 buck?

Birdshot? Hard to be objective with the rest of the article after that.

I am now trying to figure out how to install a wrought iron gate in my hallway without it looking “gawdy”.

Birdshot? Sigh. Why do people continue to recommend something meant to take down birds for something much, much larger?

Clearly mining your hallways with Claymores is the answer. Klick-klack.

I stopped reading after the wrought iron gate. Seriously?

If you’re going to use birdshot, aim for the groin.

Bird shot’s been covered above. Rock on.
as for “Like rifles they can be hard to maneuver in close quarters, some people may not enjoy shooting them due to recoil issues and, unlike carbines, there are fewer accessories available for them.”
What, no mention of the reload issue that comes much sooner due to the capacity issue, both of which come after the manual of arms issue?
For an article addressed at the newbie, he sure missed some important points.

Birdshot? Aren’t there at least a few police reports of bad guy vs. bad guy, birdshot vs buckshot, and birdshot losing, and losing badly. Can’t remember the exact case, think it is one of the ones Massood Ayoob critiqued.
Anyway, my ideal home defense plan is a choke point with locking gates and claymores behind the sheetrock. This is in the parallel universe that is far more fun than this one.

Give you $100 to get shot with birdshot.
That’s what I thought.

The thing is, your attacker is much much more likely to be alive and collect that $100 vs one shot with birdshot.
Like those who have commented before me, I couldn’t keep reading after reading “Birdshot makes an ideal indoor defensive load for shotguns.”

*buckshot… Doh.

In the hallway.
