When it comes to shotguns and hunting, the side by side or over and under are far safer than the pump or semi-auto, You can just glance at a break open shotgun and see if it's safe from a good distance, you can't do that with a pump or semi-auto., they have a quick follow up shot, and you or they are not chasing hulls.
A youth or small sized sxs or o&u doesn't cost anymore than a pump or semi-auto. Think about it. Rio7
Started both of mine with over and unders for the reasons stated.
