I don't know, Beav.

I am not qualified to comment on the latest and greatest, so I just listen to those that are not stuck in the past.

Over the years I've been reading, listening, and loosely keeping mental notes on what instructors recommend. These are guys that kicked doors down for a living. And now they teach the rest of us.

From what I have filed away in my brain, these guys seem to say that there isn't a semi-auto shotgun that has been proven reliable. Especially with some of the extended mag tubes.

And for pump shotguns, they see people struggle under stress. Stress in class.

They all seem to recommend an AR15, as being more reliable and easier for Joe-average or Jane-average to operate, in defense of their home.
