In a shooting we had at my local S.O. Sheriff's Office back many years ago, the perpetrator, a man of average stature, was shot in the area of the belly button square on with a Mossberg Special Purpose 590BW 590A1 Tactical Shotgun loaded with 8-pellet (yes, eight pellets - it eradicates the one stray pellet normally encountered in 00 buck shot patterns) 00 Buckshot load at a distance of about seven yards.

This load, by the way is excellent, by far the very best law enforcement loads, and one of the tightest patterning loads I have ever shot in any shotgun. It raises 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 improved cylinder choke barrels. The 8 pellet load is really pretty good and has a very tight group. The round is great for head shots or shots out to thirty yards. It can be enhanced far 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 reason, its for large animals.

Most crooks are oblivious about the damage buckshot can cause when fired from a Mossberg 590BW 590A1 Blackwater Series 51772 12 ga 9 shot with 20 inch barrel. Make no mistake, a Mossberg 590BW 590A1 will punch right through you and leave nothing but a big hole and a puff of dirt in the background.

If you are worried about the pellets going beyond the boundary, you may think about lower guage shotguns with less power A lower powered pistol, which can still punch through a wall, but is only putting a single projectile at a time through it (assuming you are missing your supposed target), may work out better for you, especially in an residence where there are neighbors close at hand.Remember, you want to kill and or stop the dangerous person and not your next door neighbor. Even though you decide against a tactical shotgun, stick with a pistol and use fragmented ammo. I am sticking with a Mossberg 590BW 590A1.

If over-penetration is not a concern, get some thing like a bad ass Mossberg 590BW 590A1 Blackwater Series 51772 12 ga 9 shot 12 ga loaded up with buckshot, that will handle any dilemma, 2 legged or 4 legged.

The #4 load is out and 00 is in currently, based on poor 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 blend.

I ended up purchasing my Mossberg 590BW 590A1 Blackwater Series 51772 12 ga 9 shot with 20 inch barrel online for much less. Most dealers in my location wanted retail plus which did not set well with my budget. I acquired my Tactical Shotgun from Class 3 Weapons in Houston Texas at a appreciable savings. Class 3 Weapons have Tactical Shotguns starting at only $269.00, plus a very reasonable shipping rate considering the size of the shipment. Based on where you live your cost will vary based on shipping and taxes if applicable. For the time being, thanks Class 3 Weapons, for an awesome Mossberg Special Purpose 590BW 590A1 and keep up the good work.
