as to the steyr scout vs a semi auto, heck no. I remember playing a game of paintball against guys armed with semi autos vs me and others armed with pump action paint ball guns. WOW, it took all of a minute to see the advantage first hand of rate of fire. you can pin someone down with a semi auto, they can't move or even peak their head out. its a huge advantage.

KG, interested in why you pick lighter weight 9mm ammo for home defense but recommend heavier stuff for CCW, wouldn't the lighter ammo in a CCW gun make for an easier carried gun??
