[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1569720, member: 7966"] I bought a Glock 26 Gen4 which has 3 internal safeties which allows the carrying of a chambered round in addition to magazine. It also has a trigger safety to reduce accidental firing. Accurate and well-balanced and stays on target after shooting. Also works well as concealed and is my primary carry. I have put about 2000 rounds through it with a variety of makes and it has never not-chambered. It does have strong pullback so I keep one chambered to ensure fast reaction time. Like [USER=5382]@rod[/USER], I use shotguns as a primary home defense weapon. Due to my age and arthritis I have been migrating to 20 gauge with alternating sabot and 00 buckshot. I have used 12 gauge for the last 40 years. Mossberg pistol grip 12 gauge is a good home defense but if it hurts to practice, it not doing much good. A person using a shotgun as a self-defense home weapon needs to be able to hit a 1 gallon jug from 15 feet (I practice at 20 feet) shooting from the hip. Home defence does not allow time to shoulder and sight before firing. [/QUOTE]
