  1. Talk to kawikid, he likes to rent scooters.
  2. Seems that way. I have 2 3/4" for the recoil reasons. Also seems they suggest #1 over 00 too. Looks like I need to pick up some #1 and do some testing.
  3. Found this but didn't read all the way through it. http://www.chuckhawks.com/home_defense_shotgun_ammo.htm
  4. I don't see much point in anything other than 00 and slugs. I don't like the idea of mixing 00 and slugs because when your engaging the threat, you're not gonna remember what round you're on and if the next round is 00 or a slug. I would load all 00 and keep 00 and slugs on a side saddle so that you can switch if need be. At range inside a home with cylinder bore, spread is going to be negligible. You could go with buckshot that will have a few more pellets; 16 pellets 1 Buck, 12 pellets 0 Buck, 8 pellets 00 Buck.
  5. Not by much and not at the range you'll be at in a home. And at distance it will not have any power behind it. Take some birdshot and 00 buck and go to the range. Check shot patterns at ~6ft and back. See what you get.
  6. These are the only reasons that make sense. hell, you can load bean bags if you want. I still think you should rethink loading bird shot but to each his own.
  7. It's just that none of the reasons you have said about loading one round of bird shot seems valid to me and you haven't given me any reason to think otherwise.
  8. You just said you're going to use the bird shot to slow them down. You said you only have one round of bird shot. So if you're going to fire multiple times then why even load one round of bird shot followed by 00? That's pointless. Like you said, the idea is to stop the threat. If bird shot is only going to maybe slow a threat, why even waste the space in the gun with it? What if you miss with other rounds? The spread of a shot gun isn't going to be all that much inside a home, chances are you will not hit two intruders with one round. If you try to with bird shot, they might only get a couple of pellets, like you had shot them with a bb gun, and they had better be standing shoulder to shoulder.
  9. If someone breaks into my house, I am not trying to slow them down, I am going to neutralize the threat(s). Last thing I want is to think I slowed the threat down but was wrong...

  11. The Tuskegee Airmen with Laurence Fishburne was really good, I wanna see Red Tails. I love military movies.
