[QUOTE="Blue Heeler, post: 3863216, member: 46613"] Pump-action shotguns have been pumping and shucking for over 100 years. They will work if you do your part behind the trigger. Semi-auto shotguns are great. If you should ever need to do a mag dump, they will do that quicker than a pump gun. I don’t have the need for a semi-auto 12ga. for home defense (or hunting). While I understand that a Beretta 1301 or any of the Benelli family are great for such, I just don’t think Edmond will be invaded by any pesky commies anytime soon where one of those (expensive) auto-loaders will work better than my 20” Mossberg 590A1, my late father’s Winchester M12 with a REALLY open choke or even my Jim Finch tuned Stoeger Coach gun. Besides, I would likely grab an AR or my CMMG Banshee before I grabbed a shotgun. That said, the shotgun I keep loaded 24/7 is the Coach gun. I don’t have to worry about mag springs getting fatigued. Don’t have to worry about operator error and short stroking. It’s compact and swings easy. It will do. [ATTACH type="full"]305246[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
