Lightfield is the premier manufacturer of shotgun ammunition. While perfecting the sabot slug in the 1970's for the US Marine Corps, they 'set the standard by which all other slugs are judged'. Innovative designs and cutting edge engineering with both lethal and 'less than lethal' shotgun rounds is what Lightfield is all about. Whether you need ammunition for Hunting, Law Enforcement, Pest Control or Home Defense, Lightfield has a round for you.
The Lightfield Home Defender Rubber Slug is a great close range defensive solution as an alternative to a lead or copper projectile. It's intended for serious defensive use and delivers the most kinetic energy of the Lightfield Home Defender loads. It can be deployed as a painful warning shot, but make no mistake, it can also be lethal under certain conditions. The Rubber Slug will hold its velocity and energy over greater distances and the rigid design will not deform on impact, giving it greater penetration potential. The Home Defender line is geared towards 'room distance' encounters but the Home Defender Rubber Slug load is effective at much longer ranges!
Some level of injury can and should be expected! With effects ranging from painful welts or bruising to serious injury or death, penetration of the body is possible at close range. Results will vary based on a variety of factors including the weapon used, distance to target, clothing, body weight and the part of the body hit.
Shots to the lower body or arms and legs are less likely to cause serious injury. Impact to the head, neck, spine and upper chest are more likely to be serious. Shots to parts of the body with large muscle groups, soft tissue or covered by clothing will have a lesser likelihood of penetrating.
Note:
The Rubber Slug should only be used in Cylinder or Improved Cylinder-choked rifle barrels only.

I like these.
I hope to never need these, but I have them if I do. I got them for deterring the local bears from getting into my trash cans. I may test 1 or 2 on some watermelons or something similar. Shipping was fast as always. I just know I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of these slugs.

This is a good choice for a home defense round if you're concerned about overpenetration, or too much blood splattered around. It left a sizeable dent in the backstop when I tried it. But it is not a good choice if you prefer to spray rather than aim your shotgun.

Haven't fired one. Looks great. Going to try one at the range soon just to see how it performs.

Tried these in my 590A1.
Tried these in my 590A1. Cycled fine, no FTF issues, etc. Remarkably little felt recoil, Less than a .22LR. Fired at an old washtub that had been laying outside for a while, and the slug penetrated the washtub (it was corroded). Recovered the slug, which is a very dense rubber compound.Am going to try the rubber buckshot rounds next to compare.

Works great for keeping the deer away from my gardens. Good range and accurate. For semi-auto shooters: remember to chamber another round, as they don't cycle.

Will the Home Defender round work with my Mossberg 500 Security model?
Answer:
Yes it will.
Dose this work for semi auto 12 gauge?
Answer:
At 600 fps , it probably doesn't have enough pressure to cycle the action of a semi-auto. Which means you may have to manually cycle each shot.
It says to use in cylinder or improved cylinder chokes. Is a choke required?
Answer:
Cylinder bore = no choke.
Can this be use for black bears to deter them from mu bee hives's. What is the effective distance.
Answer:
It could be used, up to 25 yards or so.
