This video reviews nine compact, non-NFA shotguns suitable for home defense, emphasizing maneuverability and firepower over beginner-friendliness. Models like the Akkar Churchill 612 Shockwave and RIA PF14 offer shorter barrels and unique grips, while the Mossberg 590S Shockwave excels with minishell capacity. The Remington V3 Tac-13 is highlighted as a top pick due to its gas system and reliability.
The Mossberg Shockwave is a niche firearm legally classified as a 'firearm' due to its design, not an NFA item. While compact and powerful with buckshot for short ranges, it's not ideal for primary home defense due to recoil and ergonomics compared to stocked shotguns. Proper shooting technique is crucial to avoid injury.
