I've been considering a Saiga 20 ga to replace my Moss. 500 12 ga. which serves as my primary HD.
Semi-auto and lower recoil might be a good combination- more shots quicker?
It not so much strength as it is conditioning. When I was single, and had the money to go through four to six hundred rounds in a weekend (sometime more), one of my favorite range toys was my semi-auto Thompson. Right around 15lbs loaded. Granted, I'm almost all muscle, but I'm 6ft tall and only weigh around 155lbs.I have had a 12 gauge 870 setup with Wilson extended tube and surefire forend and it was over >10 lbs with sidesaddle. I'm not a muscleman so it was tiring to hold up for extended periods and for sure I couldn't do it one handed with the standard stock.

I wouldn't use a saiga for home defense. I've got the 12 gauge version and wouldn't trust it for HD duty. If you keep the mags loaded the top shell gets deformed and sometimes has trouble loading. If you are going to use it pop the top shell out before loading the mag in. Keep the pump imho.
