Is This The Best Shotgun Setup For Home Defense? - Benelli M4
About this video
Colion reviews his Benelli M4 shotgun setup with Larry from Blaze Defense, seeking expert feedback on his home defense configuration. Colion walks through his modifications and receives Larry’s assessment of what works, what could be improved, and what additional features would enhance effectiveness. Larry recommends adding a sling and addressing light placement concerns, while praising Colion’s choices like the collapsible stock, red dot, and extended charging handle.
Key takeaways
- Colion argues that getting feedback from someone with real-world experience can help validate or improve theoretical home defense setups.
- According to Larry, essential shotgun features for home defense include a collapsible stock for maneuverability, a weapon-mounted light with proper technique training, a red dot optic for target-focused shooting, and a sling for weapon retention.
- Larry advises Colion that side saddles with velcro backing provide better ammunition management than traditional hard-mounted side saddles, and that staying focused on capability rather than specific gear is the right approach to building a defensive setup.
