Hitting the gym to become a swoletariat, looking to arm myself as well.
I've gone shooting before, and my Dad just bought a couple guns himself because of all the pogroms he's been seeing against Muslims in ingerland.
I'm based in the United States of Amerikkka, mods please let me know if this isn't allowed!
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say box mags on pump shotguns are range toys, not real self defense weapons. If you're going to use a shotgun for home defense, an 18" pump is plenty short without having to break out the hacksaw and look over your shoulder for ATF agents every day. Even a 20" is plenty maneuverable for home defense, to be honest. If you're not going to train with it enough to get past the possibility of short stroking the action, get a semi-auto shotgun if you absolutely need a shotgun.
I feel like I've misled you somehow. I wasn't meaning literally saw it off yourself. I meant buy one that has a short barrel.
Generally if you're referring to a shotgun with a short barrel, it's a short barreled shotgun. A "sawed off" means a gun you've sawed the barrel off of to shorten it.
