We had a shooting a while back at the local Sheriff's office. The nut case was of average build and was shot in the gut around his navel region. The tactical shotgun used as a Mossberg Persuader. The Mossberg 500 Persuader 50521 12 ga tactical shot gun was loaded with 8 pellets.

This load, by the way is excellent, quite likely the very best law enforcement loads, and one of the tightest patterning loads I have ever shot in any shotgun. It heightens the safe usage of heavy gauge buckshot well out to 30 yards, and is great for headshots at seven to 10 yards, or a little further out in enhanced cylinder choke barrels. The 8 pellet load is really pretty good and has a very tight group. The round is good for head shots or shots out to 30 yards. It can be improved even more if you employ a choke.

At any rate, the nut job got his guts blown out his back side. Obviously he was stopped in his tracks but did not perish.

The round is called buckshot for a purpose, its for huge animals.

Most bad guys are ignorant about the destruction buckshot can cause when fired from a Mossberg 500 Persuader 50521 12 ga. Make no mistake, a Mossberg 500 will punch right through you and leave nothing but a big hole and a puff of dirt in the background.

If you have overpenetration considerations, you may want to closely take a look at whether a shotgun is the best weapon to opt for. A lower powered handgun, which can still punch through a wall, but is only putting a single projectile at a time through it (assuming you are missing your meant target), may work out better for you, especially in an condominium where there are neighbors close at hand.Remember, you want to eliminate and or stop the dangerous person and not your next door neighbor. Even if you decide in opposition to a tactical shotgun, stick with a pistol and use fragmented ammo. I am sticking with a Mossberg 500.

For basic household and premises protection, where over-penetration is not a major issue, buckshot of varied sorts and measurements is probably the best choice, not only for two-legged potential predators, but for large four-legged predators at close range as well. Those trap and skeet loads run out of steam pretty fast in terms of performance over distance.

The police society dumped the use of #4 buckshot as a duty load and went back to 00 buck when we began determining that #4 wasn’t giving the preferred penetration. Yep, for Alaskan protection, 3- to 3-1/2-inch magnum rifled slugs, and a six to nine round magazine capacity sounds like an ideal combination.

When I bought my Mossberg 500 Tactical Shotgun, I ended up ordering it over the internet for much less. The majority of dealers in my area required list price ... plus which did not set well with my budget plan. I obtained my Tactical Shotgun from Class 3 Weapons at a substantial cost savings. Class 3 Weapons is at this time offering their Tactical Shotguns at an aggressive pricing. Various Tactical Shotgun models start at an incredibly economical price of $269.00 according to the the Class 3 Weapons website.
