Many find that the shotgun offers the best handling, reliability, and hit probability. The shotgun simply fits the bill more closely for home defense than any other type of firearm.

They were all nice guns, but for some reason, the Mossberg MC2C is the one he kept gravitating to. And he wasn’t the only one.
