I have been shooting doubles and pump guns of various types brands like 870s and 500s for decades and have been just fine with them for both defense and sport. Recently, however, I have noticed I don't enjoy the magnum recoil of BS or slugs like I used to and have also slowed down a bit (and gotten lazier) with age. Now I can shoot singles and doubles just fine, or so I thought.
Then I saw a demo on TV by a Benelli tem member named Tom Knapp. The guy was extremely fast, accurate and claimed to have no problems with the recoil. THis led me to a new question: Perhaps I would be better served by a good 12 Ga. Auto. The Benellis are a bit pricey, and I have yet to see an 1100 tactical in the flesh. Mossberg has a 930 special purpose extreme, which looks nice on paper. In short, I want to know the positives and drawbacks to each, and i would love to be able to get a good, reliable, gun to serve double duty shooting buck, bird and slugs. 2 3/4 chambers are fine as long as the gun is omnivorous and totally dependable.
Please give detailed first-hand accounts of your experiences and tell me what is best, why, and rate them on a "bang for the buck"scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best. I would love to go less than $750 if I can.
Thanks to all in advance
