Re: Personal Protection 12Gauge load preference

I think that 00 buck is going to be a favorite, especially if you are a home dweller rather than an apartment renter. You can't go wrong there. If you are in an apartment, going down to #4 might be a good idea. While I have never used them myself, I have a lot of friends who are partial to the reduced recoil loads. I do like slugs in some situations and I always carry a few in a cartridge holder, but I don't know that they are the best for self-defense. They penetrate too much for a man-sized target.
For close quarters home defense a 12 gauge loaded with 00 or 000 buck is as good as it gets!
