Mossberg 500 Persuader & Cruiser | Gun Review:
https://athlonoutdoors.com/article/mossberg-500-persuader-gun-review/
Some folks rely on the distinctive "shuck-shuck" sound a pump gun makes as a deterrent. My instructors advised trying hard to make no sounds until the gun goes bang if the situation warrants that. Either way, a 12-guage pump shotgun is a powerful tool to end home invasions.
"Pump guns are noted for their reliability. You can depend on a manually operated pump, which is comforting when lives are on the line. In the unlikely event of a misfire, cycling the slide will quickly have you back in business."
"No other type of weapon has a longer record of proven battlefield success."
"The Mossberg 500 Persuader sports a conventional buttstock with a recoil pad. The pump-action forend on the test gun has an integral tactical light that throws a bright, high-intensity beam when the rubber insert on either side of the forend is squeezed. This L3 light from Insight Technology produces a tungsten-halogen beam rated at 125 peak lumens, with a battery life of 90 minutes of continuous operation. The L3 features a "temporarily on," a "temporarily off" and a "strobe" setting, and is operated by an ambidextrous pressure pad on either side of the slide handle.
...
The light is bright enough to temporarily blind your assailant, while giving you a clear picture of who's facing you and where to aim. If you feel you're in imminent danger and must shoot, the shotgun eliminates the need to "double-tap," or fire a pair of closely spaced shells, as you would with a handgun."
"The Persuader's 18.5-inch barrel gives the gun an overall length of just 38.5 inches, making it easy to swing in the confines of any room in your house. If you want something even more compact, the Cruiser, which comes with a pistol grip, measures just 31 inches overall. This length comes in handy for carrying the gun in your car or a truck and is ideal when there's little room to deploy a full-length shotgun."
"A tab on the left side of the receiver and to the rear of the trigger allows you to cycle the action to remove a loaded shell from the chamber. This tab also serves as a loaded chamber indicator—if the full-length of the tab is visible, the action is loaded, cocked and ready to fire. If the tab is retracted into the action, the chamber is empty."
"The receiver is drilled and tapped to allow mounting a scope or adding a Picatinny rail. A variety of sighting options are available, including ghost-ring aperture sights, laser sights and virtually any optic that fits a Picatinny rail. Both the Persuader and Cruiser shotguns come standard with a white-dot front bead."
NOTE: according to MidwayUSA, these models have been discontinued, but the Model 500 is still available in many variations.
You can convert any Mossberg shotgun (and other popular shotguns) with an 18.5" barrel and a weapon light like the Streamlight TL Racker Weapon Light:
