The shotgun vs rifles thread had me thinking about what I have in the home and what I am most likely to use. My SBS is most likely what I am going to pull for home defense duty. As an SBS, I took the already known short capacity of the shotgun and made it shorter. Likelihood of engaging multiple perps inside of the home and the need/want to top off the gun is something that is bugging me. Naturally combat loading when running dry is the quickest way to get a round back into the fight but what about ensuring that the gun has enough to keep going? And I'd be reloading from an Aridus sidesaddle if that helps with relevance.
I've seen taking each individual round and shoving them in, taking two from the carrier and doing a twins load, taking rounds and inverting the shotgun with the loading port upwards...will need to get dummy rounds and work on things but curious with the instructors/shotgunners/etc to see what works for you.
