all good and well. If you find either one, the sxs will be about half the price of OU. Who's gonna spend double(no pun intended) for home defense? there are plenty sxs out there.Skans » 02 Feb 2023, 9:22 am » wrote: ↑ Side-by-Sides are perfectly fine, but there is hardly anyone who would use a SxS for home defense (coach-gun mentioned earlier is an exception). Remember, we're talking about what Joe Biden recommended for self defense. Typically, European shooters prefer SxS's. But, even they are mostly moving to O/U's over the past 30 years or so.
If you go into any gun store, you likely wouldn't find any SxS's for sale. Probably won't even find any O/U's unless they specialize in that kind of thing. Everything will be semi-auto or pump. Many really old SxS's are unsafe to shoot and have damascus barrels. New ones (if you know where to find them) are priced for aficionados and collectors. While you will see some reproductions, I consider these odd-balls, not for novice shooters.
