Frequently Asked Questions

What are the ideal barrel lengths for home defense shotguns?

For home defense, tactical shotguns typically feature barrel lengths between 18 and 20 inches. This range provides a good balance between maneuverability in tight spaces and sufficient velocity/range for defensive use, while also complying with federal regulations.

What is the difference between gas-operated and inertia-driven semi-automatic shotguns?

Gas-operated shotguns use gas from fired cartridges to cycle the action, often handling lighter loads better. Inertia-driven shotguns (like Benelli's) use the energy of recoil, generally being simpler, lighter, and cleaner operating, though sometimes less effective with very light loads.

Is a 20 gauge shotgun suitable for home defense?

Yes, a 20 gauge shotgun can be a viable option for home defense, especially for individuals sensitive to recoil. While it offers less power than a 12 gauge, modern 20 gauge defensive loads provide adequate stopping power for close-range encounters.

What makes the Kel-Tec KSG unique for home defense?

The Kel-Tec KSG is a bullpup shotgun, meaning its action is behind the trigger. This allows for a very short overall length of just 26.1 inches while maintaining a standard barrel length, making it exceptionally maneuverable. It also features dual magazine tubes for high capacity.
