I'm not interested in the Mossberg because its "crazy hardcore", but only because its rated as very reliable and easy to use. I'm also interested in the version without the stock and the standard Mossberg 500 depending on cost (the 500 is only about $200). I just thought if I'm going to get a shotgun for home defense I might as well get the one that will liquefy a man's torso if the need arises.

The idea is that I'm not going to have time to think or even really aim. My blood pressure will be through the roof with adrenaline pumping, and I want to know that if I pull the trigger the intruder is 1) going to get hit and 2) is not going to need a second round.

As for the need for this, I think the fact I'm having a kid has made me bite the bullet on buying a home-defense weapon. I first got the itch when I got married, but now with a kid on the way there is just so much to lose if some scumbag invades my home.
