The M2 is also less rugged than the M4, and additions like the aluminum trigger guard in the M4 are replaced with a polymer trigger guard in the M2. This is certainly not a deal breaker, as the Inertia system will do just fine with most home defense loads. You’ll find this system in Benelli’s line of sporting guns, and while it’s a great semi-auto cycling system, it doesn’t cycle some types of rounds that the M4 would handle no problem. Instead of using the ARGO system, the M2 relies upon Benelli’s tried and true Inertia Driven System. If you’re not quite prepared to spring for the M4, Benelli does have a viable and more affordable alternative in the Benelli M2 Tactical Shotgun. Specs: Barrel Length: 18.5″, Total Length: 40″, Length Of Pull: 14 3/8″, Chamber: 3″, Capacity: 5+1, Weight: 7.8 lbs. Simply put, this is the best home defense shotgun you’ll find on the market, and the price certainly reflects that. However, the M4 is by far the most rugged shotgun available, and you get added durability in that extra weight. It is also slightly longer than the other shotguns listed here. There are a couple drawbacks to this shotgun, as it is the heaviest shotgun on our list. The shotgun also sports a Ghost Ring sight and plenty of Picatinny rail for other optics. The ARGO system is renown for its ability to cycle almost any round (3 1/2″ rounds excluded) with no adjustment to the system. It uses an Auto-Regulating Gas-Operated (ARGO) system that ensures efficient, accurate cycling. The M4 is Benelli’s answer for a true combat shotgun, and this shotgun is still the primary shotgun used by the US Military. The Benelli M4 Tactical Shotgun is exactly that, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better option in any other shotgun. When it comes to home defense, you want only the best shotgun for the job. All in all this is a solid shotgun that comes ready for home defense right out of the box. The thumb safety is located on the top of the shotgun above the pistol grip and is easily released when you need to shoot.
The adjustable stock lets you customize the shotgun’s length of pull so you can hone in on the right length and home use setup for you. This shotgun has all the necessary features for home defense including an 18.5 inch barrel, a 5+1 round capacity, included pistol grip, a Ghost Ring rear sight with matching Fiber Optic front sight, and an adjustable stock with attached shell carrier. The popular Mossberg 500 is a prudent choice for home defense, especially in the Mossberg 500 Tactical Pump version.
Mossberg 500 Tactical Pump Action Shotgun Finally, the addition of a laser sight and/or weapon mounted light can be a worthwhile upgrade, especially when it comes to clearing rooms in the dark. A shotgun with a fixed or adjustable stock is also preferable, and the optional pistol grip can make it easier to clear rooms with the shotgun. The addition of a semi-automatic action is a nice upgrade, but you can get by with a pump action just fine. Aside from barrel length, you’ll need a shotgun that is relatively light and easy to handle, and one that can hold and cycle rounds fairly quickly.
Instead you want a barrel that measures 18 inches or so, but depending on your home, you should be able to use something a bit longer, say 20 inches max. Home defense shotguns must be maneuverable, and the long barrels found in hunting shotguns are not desirable in home defense situations.
