[QUOTE="soberups, post: 430828, member: 14668"] My Remington 870 with an 18" barrel and 00 buckshot makes a pattern about the size of my closed fist at a range of 10 feet, which is a realistic in-the-home distance. Open up the range to 20 or 30 yards and you start having a much wider dispersion of pellets, which means greater hit probability but less stopping power as the pellets lose velocity quite rapidly. At close range you still have to aim properly. As far as your wife goes, if she is unfamiliar with guns the revolver is hands down the best choice, but anyone who is willing to practice can become reasonably proficient with either a handgun or a shotgun. Dont overlook the single-barrel break open shotgun either. Granted its a single shot, but is also foolproof and easy for anyone to learn to handle. [/QUOTE]
