Spread, recoil, penetration, ammunition

Question

How far out is it accurate, can you mod the stock to lessen the recoil, is it a good home defense weapon or will I be doing siding and drywall work, what's the average price of good ammo?

Answer

Shotguns are dumb for home defense.  They're long and buckshot WILL go through walls.  Drywall can usually be repaired with some spackling if you got enough shot spread, but I'd worry about the carpet

Answer

Accuracy: It's a shotgun, so with slugs you can expect to hit a deer at 100yds with practice.  Recoil: You can get a rubber butt pad to soften the blow.
