Are you giving the gift of home defense and peace of mind this holiday season? There are too many shotguns to count, but not all are best suited for home defense use. Knowing the best for home defense can help you give the best gift. From one of the most popular Remington shotguns to semi-automatic shotguns, here are some to consider.

Remington Model 870

One of the most popular shotguns of all time is the Remington Model 870. The pump-action model has stood the test of time, offering an 18.5-inch barrel with rifle sights to help with accuracy and a 6+1 capacity. Due to how popular it is, you can find plenty of accessories. You have options from side saddles to lights, red dots to scope mounts, and slings to stocks. You can even switch barrels with any other 870 models, making this a practical, reliable option for home defense.

Mossberg 500 Series

The Mossberg 500 series, like the 870, is a workhorse. It’s often the choice of the military and law enforcement. It and the 870 are the “Big Two” pump-action shotguns. The only significant difference is the safety on the 870 is near the trigger, while the 500 series has it on top of the receiver, which you can hit with your thumb. If your gift recipient wants something more tactical, opt for the 590A1. It includes ghost ring or night sights, collapsible stocks, and a larger capacity.

Benelli M4

Nearly any Benelli shotgun could fit this list, but the Benelli M4 is arguably the most tactical they offer and is the one favored by law enforcement agencies everywhere. The first gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun Benelli designed, it uses a short-stroke piston system with dual pistons for some of the best reliability on the market. You can add optics, lights, lasers, and more. While inertia-driven guns can be affected by weight, gas-operated firearms are not. Even reduced-recoil loads cycle easily. Thanks to its popularity, it’s effortless to customize an M4. However, most of it is not cheap, including the shotgun. Reliability has its price.

KelTec KS7 Compact

The KelTec KS7 is an intriguing, compact, lightweight pump-action bullpup shotgun. While there is a version with multiple tubes, the KS7 has a single tube with 7 rounds. While it’s a little difficult to reload quickly, 7 rounds should be plenty, and it’s very easy to maneuver thanks to being a bullpup. The barrel is 18.5 inches, but the shotgun is only a total of 26.25 inches long. It also weighs under 6 pounds, making it perfect for the shooter seeking a lightweight option.

Beretta A300

While the Beretta A300 is here, this can be replaced with nearly any hunting shotgun you gift them. The A300 is an ideal waterfowl gun and is semi-automatic. How does that make it a good home defense gun? Any shotgun by your gift receiver’s side is better than nothing. In short, if you are gifting them a shotgun for use in hunting, you are already giving them something useful for home defense.
