Racking the slide may not stop an intrusion, but it accomplishes one thing: loads a round in the chamber.

Gentlemen, as for racking the slide. I don't. I want what I have for somebody breaking into my home to their last total surprise. We have a good 'Castle-Law' in Ohio, I don't even have to see a gun. I also have training in the offensive 'Non-Lethal' use of the shotgun should I be so predisposed.

This is not, by any means, my first dance with a shotgun.

No, because then someone would of said the 500's have mim parts and that's why you should not rack the slide.
