[QUOTE="speakerdude123, post: 8035403, member: 625172"] The purpose of this thread had me interested until I hit the point where the OP mentioned this is for Home Defense ONLY! LULZ, when I hit this I stopped reading and immediately looked at the comments. Sure enough it goes to show that no one here knows what they are talking about. Why in the world would you want a 3.5 inch magnum shell for home defense? The person standing at the other end will not know a difference between a 2 3/4 shell and a 3.5 shell. The only time these 3.5" shells come in handy/applicable are when you are shooting at LONG ranges e.g. geese or turkey. Even then today's technology has proven that a 3.5" is not needed with the lighter shots available. There is a reason police officers stick to the 2-3/4" loads when doing home invasions and so on. My recommendation is buy whatever is most comfortable to you, that is what is going to save you if this is really for home defense. [/QUOTE]
