Such a silly argument...This thread is going nowhere.
Those who don't like PGO shotguns, or are unwilling to learn how to use them effectively, or are unable to do so, shouldn't use them. Those of who can, will.
Earlier, it was stated by moderator Justin that there was a lot of "chest thumping" by PGO user's. The only chest thumping I have seen is by the anti PGO crowd, who express subtle insult and question the judgement of those of us who have shot PGO shotguns for years (decades) with no difficulty.
The store owner in new York incident is pointed out and ignored, or dismissed as anecdotal...yet it shows the PGO shotgun at it's best...close range indoor self defense against multiple assailants. We don't know if that store owner ever fired that shotgun before. After all, it is not exactly easy to practice with such a weapon in the best of circumstances, least of all living in New York City.
The proper use of the PGO shotgun involves technique and determination. Is it superior to the stocked shotgun? Not at all. Will it perform in the hands of a skilled, determined shooter in a close range SD scenario? Without a doubt. The PGO shotgun has been performing in such scenarios since the advent of shotguns, since the days of the blunderbuss.
