Tell us more about these big muscles you've got .I considered a handgun, but I don’t trust my aim with one in a high-stress, high-Adrenalin situation. Would much rather rely on my big muscles than my small ones.

But no pics, please. Don’t want that kind of pr0n.Tell us more about these big muscles you've got .
I’m sorry, I thought this thread is for people that own guns, not gimpy AussiesI'd recommend a robocop suit for ultimate protection.

I'd also recommend some turret mounted rifles that shoot anything that moves near your property. Can't be too careful.
And whilst you are at it get a couple grenades and rocket launchers too
I would HIGHLY recommend an AR. Do some research on ballistics and penetration of different projectiles. You are legally accountable for for every bullet. Buck shot and almost all pistols rounds will penetrate multiple layers of drywall and could easily leave the house. Most 5.56 and .223 loads from an AR will only get through one possible two walls and most of their bullets will immediately start to break apart.
I agree do your research and regard who is writing the advice. There are lots of yahoos online and on YouTube.Really, really, really examine this very thoroughly before deciding. No saying @Old State is wrong but there are lots of youtube videos showing all manner of rounds (including 5.56) cutting through multiple layers of drywall with ease. Contrast that to the videos showing a shotgun with 8 (bird) shot which seems to make it through only 2-3 layers (a typical modern home wall and maybe a half more).
Also, the AR platform is considerably more involved than a shotgun. They are awesome but simply more going on with them.
Just do your research and make the best decision for you.
Good luck!

Welp no one answered me, went out and got one anyways. So if anyone ever searches for a 725 they can find me.
It’s a swwweeet gun, but of course all the clubs are closed now. I need to a clay thrower for at home I guess.

Mossberg does some silly things with guns... Chainsaw grip, etc. But I've always thought of your basic home defense shotgun as a flip between a Mossy 500 and a Remmy 870 (Remmy's controls won out for me). I think Benelli is a step up, but Ive never shot one. Everything else being equal, I'd buy the Benelli and not think twice about it
BTW, you'll never need sights for home defense, lol.
Edit: hickok45 for the win!
Beautiful day in NC. Headed to the range to hone my marksmanship skills. Never know when they might be put to the test.

It is. Lots of fun.What’s the mustard colored one? FN5.7?
Nice build. Excellent use of time. But, we have very different definitions of long distance.I ordered parts for a long distance range rifle back in summer 2016. I used to go target shooting with my dad back in the day, and always loved dialing in a scope to hit paper targets a couple hundred yards down range. And I never had one, so I ordered up the parts to build one.
Anyway, life got busy and I never got around to putting this thing together. But with all the downtime from Covid19, I set aside some time last night to finally get this sucker built...

It's been quite a while since I've built an AR, so I had to fallback on the how-to videos:

Entire build took me about 75-min from start to finish. The upper was already pre-assembled, so I didn't have to mess around with the gas-block or mount the barrel.
Bipod and scope arrive Weds. I'm hoping to get her out to the range next week to get her sighted in!

For me 200-300 yds. is "pretty damn far," and just for the fun of longer distance target shooting
IWI Tavor X95 in 5.56 is on the way, been waiting for this one since mid-December when I ordered it
Bergara BMP in 6.5 Creedmoor is the next one on the list, complete with Viper Vortex PST 5-25x50 optic
I bet that's the same guys that buys tpthere was no 12 gauge ammo in the whole store.
