Last one did well, so let’s try again.
You know the drill: ask questions, maybe get serious answers.

If you want to shoot a round and then take it apart to put the new cartridge in the adapter i guess that could work. You will also be shooting a round out of a straight up.no contact barrel. It is the literal definition of a hot dog down a hallway.
Shotguns are great, get an AR lower or AR while you can as soon as you can, no joke. Shotguns occupy the ranged threat niche of a pistol in terms of where you use them. Inside 30 yds they are a decisive gat. Outside that slugs are required.
The AR makes you a threat at any range with capacity and quick reloading. Again, i love the shotgun, my sugar tits Benelli M4 is loaded in the corner. But the AR is the du jour for gun fighting for a reason.
Lol so you want a less capable and tactically less flexible weapon? Why hinder yourself?
The AR is also easier to use to be frank, i'm far from a noob in the 12guage but the AR is just easier to use under stress with good optics.
Also, you're fucking yourself trying to predict your scenario. Thing is, none of us know how bad things could get/be. So a 28rd mag of 5.56 freedom pills could keep you alive.
Range also allows skill and preparation whereas close range allows numbers and faggots spamming rounds at you. A shotgun puts you in the same threat envelope as a buncha dindus with 9mms. Why fuck with that when you can smoke everyone from across the street, loot their shit and piss on their dead faces?
Just stuff to consider.
I get that. I'm not a soldier either. I like to avoid conflict where i can. I don't even raise my voice.
But you're legit setting yourself up for failure.
Gunfighting is a perishable skill. Hitting a target consistently, while under stress and probably in the dark with lots of crazy shit going on, noise and your hands covered in blood/sex fluids/maple syrup.
If you don't practice with your shotgun you're gonna fuck it up. Loading shells and consistently cycling the action every time are your keys.
If you don't cycle a shotgun fully when you chamber a round you will have the gun short stroke and you will jam.
Do you know how to clear a shotgun if it jams? They jam very, very rarely but they do.
How quick can you transition to your pistol when you run that shotgun dry or need to move through a space too small for your 18 inch barreled boom stick?
Have you practiced moving through our house with it?
I wish i could let you do that stuff with my 10.5 AR or my 9mm carbine. You're going to find that you can move with it better and shoot it from more positions quickly and easily. And i love the shotgun. Spent way too much on mine lol.
Soldiers do stuff like build shit and interact with the locals. Gunslingers kill the bastards and then leave to go chug high life and grief bang the widows they just made.
Be a gunslinger bby. Practice with that gun.
The holding of power is not necessarily the wielding of that power. You can have an AR under your shirt and not bother anyone.
