Shotguns VS. PCCs for home defense

If I was looking for a shotgun in that class/price range, I would definitely go for the Mossberg 940 Pro.
I haven't spent time behind the A300 Ultima, but the fact you can't change the stock is a deal breaker for me.

I find the foregrip ideal yet I am a lanky guy (long arms) therefore the stock is a bit short for my build. Leaves my elbows wider than I would like when on go mode.

Have you ever considered a regular fighting stance, similar to shooting a handgun ? It's the reason almost all tactical shotguns have either a very short LOP or an adjustable stock.

My first HD grab gun is a Sig Pro Series in 9mm.
Have both PCC and Shotguns readily available if needed.

All this talk of PCC's has made me want one. I am a soon to be 71 year old man with some various health issues. Arm strength is not enough for a shotgun. That's why I am thinking about a PCC. This would be a plinking gun with home defense thrown in. It would need to be somewhat lighter. I had considered the Ruger PCC, but after many many reviews saying how heavy it is, I do to want to risk it. Do you guys have suggestions for me? I'd like to keep it below $1000. It needs to be fairly easy to rack also.
Thanks,

You can build a lightweight 9mm AR for well under that.
Fur easy racking, I’d look at a front or side charger over traditional.
Or an M1 carbine.

I strongly favor the M1 carbine in this role as mentioned by Hans, they are great. M1 carbine is super easy to rack, very lightweight as noted, probably close to 2 lbs lighter than the Ruger Pcc you desire, .30 carbine more power than 9mm, but prices are seriously out of your preferred budget. Probably the best new manufactured is the Fulton and it is around 2500.
