She Wants A Shotgun For Home Defense, But Does She Really?

About this video

Colion takes his friend Mindy to the range to shoot a Benelli M4 shotgun for the first time, specifically for home defense purposes. He walks her through different ammunition types—from light target loads to buckshot to slugs—while evaluating her comfort and confidence with the platform. Colion demonstrates how shotgun spread works at various distances and emphasizes that the right defensive firearm is subjective and depends on what the shooter feels most confident using.

Key takeaways

• Colion teaches that confidence with your defensive firearm matters more than theoretical advantages—the best gun is the one you feel capable of using effectively
• According to Colion, buckshot combinations are typically best for home defense scenarios, balancing stopping power with effective spread patterns
• Colion demonstrates that shotgun spread is distance-dependent but remains relatively tight even at intermediate ranges, contrary to common assumptions
• Colion argues that defensive firearm choice (shotgun vs. handgun vs. rifle) is subjective and should be based on individual comfort and proficiency
