The Brenneke THD (Total Home Defense) 20 gauge slug ammunition delivers maximum stopping power in a controlled penetration design specifically engineered for home defense scenarios. These 2.75-inch shells feature Brenneke's proven slug technology with reduced risk of over-penetration through interior walls.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard hunting slugs that can penetrate multiple walls and pose risks to neighbors, the THD design incorporates controlled expansion technology that maximizes energy transfer while limiting penetration depth. The 3/4-ounce slug maintains sufficient mass for immediate threat neutralization while reducing collateral damage risks. Brenneke's century of slug manufacturing expertise shows in the consistent accuracy and reliable feeding across various 20-gauge platforms.
