Hey gang!
I have a Remington 1100 Tactical 12 gauge shotgun and have plans to set it up for home defense. It has proven to be extremely reliable over several hundred rounds, including a lot of buckshot.
I have the 22" barrel 9-shot model (8+1 capacity). I want to add a Mesa Tactical Urbino stock to the gun and also an Elzetta shotgun light system.
My question is: do you think 8 shots of semi-automatic 12 gauge #1 buckshot is enough for home defense without using a side saddle to carry extra rounds?
I had a Mesa Tactical side saddle on it but it made the gun a bit too heavy and awkward. Should I add a sidesaddle anyway for extra firepower? Or do you think 8 rounds loaded in the magazine tube is enough?
This will be my "barricade" gun. I'll grab it if time and the situation permits, but will have my Beretta 92A1 at the ready if not or when the shotgun runs dry.
Thoughts? Is a side saddle a necessity for a home defense/tactical shotgun?
Thanks!
