Absolutely. I recommend a 12-gauge Beretta Xtrema2, like the one I
own. Loaded with 3-1/2" Super Mag shells, you'll be able to put any
pest into the next county.

Sorry for the late reply,

Is this the gun you would recommend for home defense? It's a bit extrema
for that purpose, don't you think. You say you are not a hunter. What in
the world do you use that thing for?


Mine is the fifth one down in the top group:

I'm not much of a fan of "camo" look.

The "KO" in the descriptor stands for "kick off" recoil reducer. There's
a "shock absorber system" built into the butt that makes shooting off a
3-1/2" heavy load feel no worse than a light target load.

What do I use it for? Why, to scare the crap out of intruders, of
course. I also use it sometimes to blow clays to smithereens. It's a
very very fast recycling shotgun. Got two accessories for it, too - a
tubular extension that allows loading up more than the usual three
shells, and a slug barrel. A 12-gauge slug will, as Clint sez, blow
your head clean off. :}

I don't hunt or shoot critters, but I am the deadly force empty
soda/beer cans do not want to meet. It is amazing how accurate a good
shotgun can be at substantial distances.
