multiple guns

I would say that home defense shotguns and hunting or clay gun have very little in common except the shell they share. I find the same in hunting and defense rifles. That being said I like WB have an abundance of both, but given the question of shotguns a pump action with multiple barrels seems to be the best option for me. I have a good 870 Wingmaster with a 30 in ribbed trap barrel, a 26 in ribbed hunting barrel and a 21 in plain barrel for home defense which is what the gun usually wears, since I have multiple guns for hunting and target. I find the same with handguns, I have several large cal hunting handguns and a few carry pistols for self defense, but if I were to have only one I think the old 357 would suit the bill very well. As far as rifles go, the AR platform is hard to beat for all around, but again there is a big difference between the CAR hanging behind the door with a 30 rd mag for home defense and the 300 Win Mag with suppressor and target scope good out past 1000 yds but not too suited to rapid fire. Hope this confuses the question LOL
