A lot of folks intend to use a shotgun to defend their homes, not me my shotgun is for competition only I have a CX4 Storm carbine for use in home defense. However I want to talk about Shotgun tactics.
Most instructors concentrate on transition from an empty tube feeder shotgun to your side arm. What I like to do is hot reload a full mag into my Saiga with the idea being that I never go dry until I'm out of magazines.
Going to the pistol I feel puts me into defensive mode having ten rounds in my shotgun makes me offensive in more ways than one. I had this same arguement on another gun board.
I believe a person can transition faster to a pistol than I can reload my Saiga but not by much and if I'm under cover I can really have an advantage over a pistol with a 12 guage.
What do you guys think does the Saiga 12 change the tactical mantality of the shotgunner in a tactical situation?
I have talked with police they don't train to do reloads under fire the transition. When you have a 4 plus 1 shotgun your screwing up from the git go if you ask me .
