After hanging out here long enough, I'm starting to think that a shotgun for HD might be a good idea. The model I'm most seriously considering is the Benelli Nova Tactical (with 18.5" barrel). It seems to fit me well, and I'm particularly fond of the ghost-ring sights.
I then started thinking (since there are significant portions of our state which are shotgun-only for deer hunting) that it might be pretty decent for deer. What are your thoughts? How do 12ga slugs perform out of the shorter barrel lengths as compared to longer ones? Is there much loss of velocity or accuracy?
