For a home defense shotgun you can rely on, turn to the Benelli tactical models.
When the U.S Marine Corps went shopping for a combat shotgun, they bought a Benelli. Now the Benelli M4 defense shotgun, with its unique Auto Regulating Gas Operated (A.R.G.O.) system, can be the centerpiece of your home defense plan. Benelli’s SuperNova Tactical is a modular concept pump-action shotgun that can be quickly reconfigured with different special-purpose stocks to be ready for any home defense or tactical situation.
The Benelli M2 Tactical Inertia Driven® semi-auto and the M3 Convertible semi-auto/pump are no-nonsense shotguns that military and police all over the world depend on. The M2 Tactical is available with a pistol grip, standard or ComforTech™ stock, while the M3 Convertible comes with a standard black synthetic stock. If your life depends on it, then depend on a Benelli self defense shotgun.
