I'm going to be the odd man out here. Before making a final decision to use a shotgun for your wife's home defense weapon, go to the range with a friend and let her shoot it -- shoot it a lot! Shoot a full box of 00 buck and she what she says. I'll bet, 1) she won't shoot more than three or four rounds; and 2) she will not agree to a shotgun. If I'm wrong, then you have your home defense weapon. If I'm right, you can start searching for a realistic home defense weapon for a woman.

Well that makes two of us.

By the way, did anyone else notice the OP disappeared after making this post, his second post on the forum?

The problem now days is the availability of shotguns. Buds has zero Mossbergs and other known brands only have high end guns left.

I purchased a couple Mossberg 500A Tactical cruisers in 12 gage maybe 8 years ago. Gave one to my SIL as Christmas gift. Paid maybe 250 each including tax. Perfect home defense shotgun for me. I am not picturing a 5 ft tall 100 pound woman doing so well with it. Maybe, but not the typical one.
