I have yet to see an agency use birdshot for a shotgun for police use? #6, 7, 8, or even 9's are not used unless for range training but never for patrol duty. In 26 years maybe law enforcement has changed since you have been in? The only rounds I have seen used for patrol is reduced recoil 00 buck and slugs. These are the two most widely used rounds in law enforcement. Also birdshot within contact range will act just like a slug but for further ranges with a less than ideal shot placement, I would say that a determined attacker would continue the fight, I guess I would have to debate shot placement with you on this next..........but I simply cannot recommend birdshot for a home defense setting, it is better than nothing but still not ideal in my mind, that is my opinion and I am sticking to that. BTW I don't no many people who don't miss when under fire, so the idea of not missing is not realistic especailly if incoming fire is coming at you. The only way is if the homeowner is able to ambush the individual. Respectfully Esox357.
