Got my eye on a beretta

[Sushi X]

12 gauge shotgun that is. it'll cost me about 550 bucks. i saw it at wal mart today, yes i was there getting my oil changed.

now i have to decide on the shotgun or a pistol of the same cost or less.

any suggestions? serious replies only please.

you'll be hard press to hide a shotgun in your glove department or in your pants if you ever find yourself in a situation that is less than favorable. Pistol all the way, unless you're planning on blowing off a bank or something, then a shotgun and ski mask for sure.

lol, i'd rather have the pistol but which brand i don't know. i know berettas are too expensive, maybe a gloc or smith and wesson. i have'nt kept up with them in the last few years. the shotgun would be nice to keep in the closet but i have to pick one for now.

Go for the pistol.

About 8 months ago a friend of mine who i worked with took me to a shooting range. We fired a WWII Luger pistol, a standard issue WWI pistol, and a .357 Magnum. It was one of the most fun nights I've ever had.

for personal defense: pistol

Hunting: shotgun.

You fucking conservative monkey. a self defense whistle is all you need. Just blow it, and the cops will show up to protect you.

They don't have any good deals on beretta shotguns though.

i don't know alot about guns. Does the name brand really matter? I mean, is a glock or beretta really better made (less likely to fall apart) than a local brand. I'm asking seriously, i don't know. I bought a local brand gun a year ago, it still works fine.

Just my opinion:

If you're taking it outside the house: go for the pistol.

If it's just for home defense: shotgun, definitely.


Someone coming at you in your house, you've got more knock-down power without having to aim as accurately. ...plus, the shot is less likely to penetrate numerous walls and take out a loved one. (unlikely, but it's happened.)

For personal defense- a hand gun is best. Glock's are great, but pricey. I love the Glock .40!

Taurus has really stepped up and their handguns are a good choce.

I personally have a S7W .45 with a 4" barrel as my primary, and a S & W .22 Ultra Light as an ankle piece!
Bought before S & W faggged out to the anti-gun pissants!

Pistol for home defense for sure. I have a baretta 390 Sportclay shotgun. If it's for outdoor fun go for it. Only kind of shotgun I would use for home use for hime defense would be a scattergun with a pistol grip such as a mossberg.
