Best option shotgun injured shoulder advice

[JDL]

18.5 inch pistol grip 20ga or even 410. Both will do the job.

10" sawed-off with pistol grip. My friend had one and a cgief trying to bang his mother saw it and said it is a 10 year stretch in the big house. He got rid if it a few days later. I would have loved to shoot it. If you gi that route, keep it at home.

Hey there NES,

So I blew out my shoulder about year and half ago dislocated my right shoulder and broke it sport accident. I am a right dominate and righty in general and I am looking for an option for both home self defense and range long gun. I think a 12 gauge would not be a good idea and looking at possibly a 20 gauge as an option but also open to other ideas if it would make a good home defense firearm. I live in Mass and I don't believe 18.5 inch barrels are legal I could be wrong I will check into it. Any thoughts of a good option?

Thanks all

20 gauge is plenty for home defense. A 20 gauge rifled slug has more than twice the energy of a .44 magnum.

Keep the shotgun you own and know...
Knoxx Comp Stock lessens felt recoil quite a bit by using an internal spring and cam roller...

(cut-away view of internals)



They also make a tele-stock with a pistol grip. They don't review as well as the 'Comp' version though.



I have a "comp" and was using it after I had a chest surgery, and was shooting it a month after a triple-bypass. Soft...

BlackHawk Knoxx CompStock Shotgun Stock has been received with enthusiasm by sportsmen, competitive shooters and law enforcement due to its ability to dramatically reduce recoil with light and heavy loads. Law enforcement officers, required to qualify with a shotgun, will find the CompStock by Blackhawk Tactical the secret to higher scores and better field results. Hunters and competitive shooters will find their scores and hit ratios improving as flinching and recoil anticipation dramatically decreases.

with your physical limitations i'd seriously look at the s&w governor. some of the .410 defense loads being offered pack a punch at the close ranges you'd be shooting at in a home invasion.

as far as a light on a home defense firearm, i resisted that myself for a long time. then i got to thinking having a light can only help me during my trial if it ever came to that and i had to use my firearm for self defense. no one could stand up in court and say i was carelessly and recklessly firing blindly into the dark night but i was illuminating my target. sadly we have to think like this in massachusetts.

and besides, you don't want to use a light...who says you have to turn it on? i'm sure a mortally wounded perp isn't gonna snitch.

I roll my own home defense ammo in 12G with 9 or 12 pellets of #1 buck and red dot. If I recal correctly I'm using the powder bushing on the Lee shot shell loader that they recommend for 1-1/8oz. load of #7 or #8 shot. Works out to be a very soft shooting round, especially with the 9 pellet load.
If you messed around with your own loads you could probably come up with something that'll do the job without beating up your shoulder.

I tore my right rotator cuff in a bicycling accident a long time ago. I put a recoil reducing stock on a Rem 870 Police Magnum (retired PD gun) and can shoot that thing all day long with no pain.

MA CAUTION: It is a collapsible stock so only legal on a pump action shotgun, illegal (AWB) on a semi-auto shotgun.

Illegal, unless pinned, right?

Nope, only semi-autos can be so-called AWs, states as much in MGL. So you can do anything you want to a pump-action shotgun (NOTE: Mags are a different issue however).

The pump part I understood. You said illegal on semi, I was confirming that if you pinned it on a semi it would be OK, yes?

 

[Matt_SERE]

I am surprised that no one had mentioned reduced recoil loads.
Here is an example though other manufacturers make similar. Your best bet will be pump action with these. Best of luck. Matt

My two cents worth for home defense is to practice shooting from the hip.

You are correct. You can always pin a collapsible/folding stock on any post-ban gun to make it legal.

Ouch! We had to do that only once during a police qualification and my ribs hurt for a week.

Cool. For half a second, I was worried I'd missed something...

You're doing it wrong. Heel of the butt stock touches nothing. Trigger hand against hip.

It didn't. We were told to hold the side of the stock against our ribs and that is what I did.
