My Dept. is finally getting me authorized on the patrol rifle this month. I love the AR platform and have used it for several years.
That said, I think I might still grab the 870 when clearing a house. On a barricaded gunman, or similar run where we are working a perimeter the rifle will come out no question, but inside a house I think the buckshot might still be a better option.
PLEASE NOTE: My dept ONLY authorizes Federal TRU 55gr hollowpoints in our rifles. We took a next to perfect 25yrd headshot with this round last winter and it just followed the outside of his skull and exited behind his ear. He is still walking around today. Our administration will not change our load, at least not anytime soon.
Opinions Please.
