The Most Sensible Home Defense Shotgun In America?

About this video

Colion reviews the Mossberg 990 SPX, a short-barrel shotgun he believes may be the ultimate home defense option. He admits he formed his opinion by falling in love with the gun’s handling and proportions first, then finding justifications afterward. Despite requiring NFA paperwork and a tax stamp, Colion argues the gun’s superior maneuverability, balance, accessible light controls, and ergonomics make it worth the extra regulatory effort compared to standard-length shotguns.

Key takeaways

• Colion believes the compact proportions and superior handling of the 990 SPX make it significantly easier to maneuver than traditional full-size shotguns
• According to Colion, the gun’s shorter design allows for easier light activation in the dark—critical for home defense target identification
• Colion acknowledges the gun requires NFA registration and a tax stamp, but argues the performance advantages justify the paperwork and wait time
