All I want to determine, with this thread, is whether or not there is any difference of opinion about the best shot pattern for home defense. We can always argue about what is the best, on a different thread.
It would seem, anyone who loads slugs definitely believes the tightest pattern is the only one to have. I understand the advantage of a tight shot pattern, since it minimizes the chances of a stray pellet hitting an innocent bystander. However, I can't help but think that in a life or death moment, a wider pattern would help insure that at least some pellets hit the attacker.
Again, I'm only trying to determine if there are even different opinions about this. Take care. Tom Worthington
