without proficient training in an enclosed quarters situation, a shotgun is going to be USELESS. at 10 yards the group of buckshot is about 4 inches if not less out of an 870 (18 in barrel). who has a 30 foot room?
That is what slugs are for...I'm not even a fan of shotguns really besides their versatility and you should never feel outgunned in a HD situation with a shotgun unless you encountered armored thugs.
There is Armor for the Head now...Armor doesn't help you, when you get a face full of buckshot

I really, really like to use Grenades in clearing homes...If a 4" spread is useless, I guess a rifle or pistol is out of the question. You going with grenades, then?
the wield-ability of the shotgun would be a big problem for me with my current living situation, let alone buckshot taking out the neighbors cats. turning corners can be tricky.If a 4" spread is useless, I guess a rifle or pistol is out of the question. You going with grenades, then?

Everyone's living situation and background are different, and if it's not the right gun for you/yours, that's your choice. My only point was around the notion that since it will only have a limited spread at normal room distances, it's useless. Unless I'm mistaken, a pistol or a carbine has very little spread. You'd be left calling Jeremy to clear your house with his grenades. And he would, really.the wield-ability of the shotgun would be a big problem for me with my current living situation, let alone buckshot taking out the neighbors cats. turning corners can be tricky.
When I was in Iraq I got to clear a couple of houses with the TOWs of a Bradley. Much more effective than Grenades...As long as it's someone ELSE's home.
Oh, hells yes!!!You'd be left calling Jeremy to clear your house with his grenades. And he would, really.
