Shotgun Defense

[Knob Creek]

In my last few classes on Home Firearms Safety I've had several students leaning toward the shotgun as a home defense gun. Has anyone put together a course with range time for shotgun for home defense.

That would interest me as well. People seem to flock to the good ole 12G!

Aim towards BG, pull trigger, spend next 48 hours scrubbing the walls.

I sometimes run a shotgun class and combine it to the MPTC standards. This includes transitions to the handgun too. Last class was with a Mass State Trooper who wanted to qualify with it so to have it in the cruiser.

Dont they have a service that does that?

I like my pistol grip just fine, thank you... it's attached to a stock though.

Same here, very comfy and very shootable.

Just have a bucket of joint compound on hand to fill the holes. Primer and paint should take care of the rest.

I'm pretty sure they have cleanup crews to take care of the blood and such.

In for a tactical shotgun class. I'm always looking for a reason to wear a Bandolier.

It is? I actually don't think I've ever fired a shotgun that doesn't have a pistol grip.

EDIT: Disregard. I read further down in the thread. You're talking about only a pistol grip, no stock, right? Yeah, those are queer.

I remember one of the fail videos of a guy shooting a no-stock shotgun and getting whacked in the face with it.

Putting one together?

does that mean you're writing the curriculum and developing range drills or scheduling and looking for people to fill it?

I'm would be interested in taking a defensive shotgun class

It is possible to run shotgun or any long gun in our F.I.T.E. TWO ™ class. However, F.I.T.E. ONE™ is a prerequisite.

Sig Sauer Academy in Epping NH offers an 8 hour shotgun defensive class. They have Shotgun 101, 102, Defensive Shotgun, and I think a fourth shotgun class. My wife and I took the Shotgun 101 class last year and it was quite good for a person new to shotguns. I think the shotgun classes are offered on a few Sundays starting in the Spring. Our class last year had an instructor and five students total. First half lecture and the last three plus hours after lunch shooting various pump and semi auto shotguns (all 12 gauge) at an outdoor range. The more advanced classes have substantially more shooting time and drills. Same instructor teaches those classes.
