When a semi auto shotgun has a malfunction, it can be very time consuming to fix. When a pump gun has problems, it is usually a short shuck or some variation of a short shuck. The fix is much faster ... just pump again and shoot.
Point taken. Maybe I should expand my classifications of shotguns?
1. Pump guns
2. Semi auto tube fed shoguns
3. Saigas
I have never fired a Saiga shotgun. But, they sound like they are revolutionary.
P.S. That being said, for home defense, I think I would not be willing to trade rate...
Have you done this with 00 buck? Dumping rounds is pointless. I am talking about putting 00 BUCKSHOT on several targets.
When you use 00 buck, the gap between semi auto and pump closes.
I did two informal tests today with my 870 and Benelli M2 to address the speed of semiauto shotgun vs a pump gun for home defense.
Q: I know a semiauto is much faster than a pump with birdshot. But, is it much faster with 00 buck?
If I wanted to be completely scientific, I would have...
This year, I have getting out to shoot skeet, trap, and sporting clays to help me suck less when hunting season starts. I have been able to get where I can consistently shoot about 20 out of 25 in skeet and trap. All my shooting is with Federal bulk pack 7.5s that have a shot velocity of 1200...
The professional I mentioned that I wanted to cut it down is actually Carlsons. If they do it, do you think there are issues with the chrome flaking off?
I have a 28" Benelli M1S90 barrel that I want to have professionally cut down to 21". They are not going to install chokes, just relocate the bead sight.
Will the resulting 21" barrel be cylinder choke? My purpose for this gun will be home defense.
You don't need porting. And, you don't need ghost ring sights. A shotgun is a close range weapon. A plain 870 with a bead sight and an 18" barrel is all you need. Buy ammo and train.
The 870 is one of the biggest money pits in all of the gun world. Guns are not tactical, your behavior...
It is not the ammunition and it is not a twig. It is the crap preservative that Remington puts in their 870 Express barrels. You have to scrub it out AND polish it with the technique I posted above.
