[QUOTE="Sanford, post: 2218640, member: 27733"] Well ... he (and anybody else who might use it) will need to fire a pump gun much more to develop the muscle memory that makes its operation habit simply because of the extra movements involved. And muscle memory also fades with time if not refreshed, so developing that familiarity is not the same as retaining it - there will be a need for the shooter to go back to the range from time to time. Assuming the shotgun is stored with one in the pipe with a semiauto it's only a matter of point, click off the safety, and shoot - with repeat shots taking no more than an additional pull of the trigger. The only valid arguments for a pump gun, IMHO, is that they're cheaper and arguably more reliable due to their slightly simpler mechanics - and even the reliability is a tossup for any given gun under any given set of conditions. Just my opinion, of course - I'm not a Shotgun Guru, no matter where I stayed last night. [/QUOTE]
