There doesn't seem to be a lot of love here for side by side, double barrel shotguns but I have a couple of coach guns (exposed hammers, double triggers, shorter barrels) that fit my needs for a home gun perfectly.

Stoeger side-by-side 12 gauge. Sorry for the crappy pic. One day I'll take a better one, once WFH ends and my kitchen table no longer serves as my home office...

Eee-yup. Made in Brazil, by E.R. Amantino, inscribed on the underside of the action.Is that Stoeger's Silverado model?
A shotgun is a very poor home defense/combat weapon. Even less so in the hands of an unskilled operator.
A pump shotgun is less reliable than an auto gun, due to the human driving it. If you are dead set on a shotgun, the beretta 1301 cannot be beat.
I say this as someone who has been shooting shotguns for 30 years, carried one in combat and probably has more money in shotguns than most people have in their morgage.
Shotguns are for birds and clays...the end.
A good friend would steer them towards and AR pistol and teach them to shoot. Not only is it infinitely easier to put quick accurate shots on target than a shotgun or pistol, you will have less overpenetration issues, more capacity and less things to worry about under stress.
Even better would be a pistol and an AR.
Then again libs and other non gun folk who spent their lives voting against the 2a And not supporting the 2a should be forced to go unarmed IMO. They reap what they sow.
Damn.I sincerely hope you are correct.
But it's not looking good.
Define work perfectly?Pump shotguns work perfectly well for home defense, as long as you are sure who is on the receiving end of the buckshot.
They have for over a century, and almost certainly always will. The classics never die, and there is a reason for it.
