As with any firearm, if you are going to own a shotgun for home defense you are going to need to practice shotgun drills in order to get and stay proficient.
People can get lazy with shotguns. They take some skill to master effectively, especially when you are under stress, it’s the middle of the night and if you screw it up someone will kill you. I’ve mentioned in other articles that I have seen very well experienced guys in CQB type military units short stroke a shotgun before. You need to practice the proper technique over and over again to create muscle memory.
We found a good video from Lucky Gunner that lays out some drills you can practice with.
