Home defense + sporting gun

[JermDO]

I am looking to purchase a new shotgun for home defense and sporting. I am interested in the Nova pump tactical shotgun. Are barrel extensions available for this gun in order to shoot skeets? Should I just go with the longer barreled (24") Nova pump?

Just get a gun that suites your hunting and sporting needs, it will work fine for home defense, i use a remington wingmaster 20ga for my home

Exactly, my Alcione Field didn't know the difference between a duck and the burglar who was running from my 3" BB's.

No Lie, Broke in and I got a call, just happened I took my shotgun to work, because I was going hunting after work.

I didn't aim at him! Thats dangerous, but he didn't know that!

In a pinch any shotgun will due for home defense but given a choice, or in my case 12 choices, I'm not going to grab my Franchi 712 Raptor w/30" barrel when I hear something go bump in the night. I'm going to reach for either my Rem. 870 with an 18" barrel, or my Win. 1300 with a 22" barrel, 8 round extended Mag tube, and duel pistol grips. But like I said, in a pinch any shotgun will do.

Hopefully, you live alone and in an isolated area with no nearby neighbors.

Some times it's hard to aim in the dark. I prefer a 12 gauge with a short barrel and some 3" 00 buck shot. It gives a nice spread. All I have to do is point it down the hall way, if someone's there, they'll wish they weren't.

After spending time around the Trap ranges and over hearing some people talk about home defense, any weapon will work for home defense. But more then likely a pistol or glock will be the common choice b/c its small and easier to shoot then a big 30inch barrel of a shotgun. But any gun will do in a dangerous situation.
