Nope, use shotguns and understand how different chokes can impact spread.

They are not creating this massive wall of birdshot that you are claiming. Doesn't matter what fucking chokes you use.

With no choke I would expect a 2 inch spread at 10 feet. 2 inches is a lot of grace in a life or death situation.

Most people have no clue about chokes and there is not a single one giving you a massive wall of pellets at 10'.

Yes it has a lot of recoil, but in reality you're not getting into a shoot out. You're shooting once, maybe twice, before the encounter is over or into a scuffle.

ROFL no just no...there is a reason LEOs have gone from revolvers to double stack handguns....fire fights can last a lot longer than the bullets do and you want to be the last person with them. You %100 should not be skuffling with someone trying to kill you in your home with rounds still in the firearm you are using.

The amount of just wrong and ignorance in this thread is astonishing.

I said 2 inches, not a massive wall.

Again, I said 2 inches, not a massive wall...

You're not getting into a shoot out. Most people run when guns start going off. Also, a home owner may have the gun sitting there untouched for months. A revolver allows you to just pull the trigger again on a misfire instead of having to clear the chamber, which uses both hands.

The amount of just wrong and ignorance in this thread is astonishing.

Oh I agree. And people misrepresenting what's being said isn't helping either.
