    Is it the same weight? Gas operated shotguns usually have less kick than pumps, all else being equal. Might be the straightline stock feels like it kicks harder.

    Ha ADT what a joke, 99% of their systems (wireless) can be compromised so easily it isn't funny.

    It's slightly heavier then the Mossberg but to me seems to have a stronger kick.

    To which you replied...
    You certainly implied gun banner given what you replied to.

    Just read your posts and you will find all the evidence needed to ascertain you a gun banner.

    Can't be compared directly because of the weight difference, but also the recoil impulse is less abrupt with a semi. But not as sharp. Kinda like the difference between a semi and bolt action rifle.

    For home defense I'd use the reduced recoil 8-pellet 00 load.

    My last shotgun was a lightweight winchester 1300. Loved how it pointed and racked, but it kicked like a mule.

    Still fine for home defense though.

    I've been reading up on those ar style shotguns and hear they are really fast firing and have a nice low mounted barrel.

    They understood. Its just uncomfortable for them to think about.

    In my area, its standard when a burglar/home invasion call goes out for law enforcement to "stage" for backup.

    Im in the boonies (for southern california), that can easily mean 20 minutes.

    In other words, you don't have a lick of evidence.

    To make things worse, when an alarm system is tripped it signals the Central Station (CS) and that ties up the phone line rendering it unusable until the CS receiver handshakes with the alarm panel.

    However, if that dialer fails to properly transmit the signal, the phone line can remain in seizure precluding it's use to contact 911.

    I never said you shouldn’t be able to have a mag capacity greater than 10. Like I said...you just want something to complain about ;)

    A 5 round magazine would be flush with the receiver, that's a 10 round magazine.

    I prefer carry and non-conceal, known as Open Carry. Its a better deterrent.

    To each his own, I prefer concealed it lowers my chance of being the first target to be taken out.
