As the wife and I transition into semi-retirement, one of our life changes will be living in a condo for some if not most of the year.
The guns I want to focus on are the ones that would probably be used in a home defense situation. Shotgun, 1911, snub 357 mag. The state we will be moving to does have a 10 round capacity limit for handguns and frangible ammo is prohibited.
The shotgun is a Mossberg 590 Boarder patrol. Looking for a man-stopping round somewhere between the 3” buckshot that’s currently in it and bird shot.
1911, not quite sure the options here? I am fine going down to a 165 grain, but that still is a lot of lead.
2 1/2” S&W 686+. I believe I have the answer for this with Gold Dot short barrel 38 Special +P 135 gr. But was thinking about the “treasury load” 38 Special +P+ 110 grain.
Adding pics to give you gentleman a visual.
Thank you for your suggestions in advance!
