I got soured on mossberg shotguns with my first an only mossberg a 590 mariner. Was purchased as a "bear" gun. I test fired it several times, and it would not reliably feed from the mag.
In that scenario I'd lean towards a 45 acp auto. In an unagitated state I have no problem holding center of mass hits at 50 paces. Should be able to drill a third eyeball at bad breath range.
