The sigh, well, if you have to ask, I'm not sure you'd understand the answer.
Here's the point of all this. Software is much more important than the hardware. Training and tactics are what keep folks alive or not, much more so than RPM.

I shot pumps for years, only reason I went to semi was recoil due to the high volume I shot in competition. I shot semi in 12 ga and Citori 3 bbl set for the little fellers.
HD or in my case add Office , I used pumps. I actually at one time could shuck as fast as most anything on the field, except a Rem 3200.
The model 12, 37, 1300, or 870 I used for defense of Home or Office, I didn't worry about gas systems, "O" rings, springs, anything.
Heck, there is an model 37 that is dunno how old. Kept in my dad's business and I don't think he ever fired it...I did. I patterened, I bought the loads, and I maintained it. Its been years since I've seen it, probably has the Winchester/Western 00 buck loads I stoked it with...I bought 5-6 25 rds bxs at the time.
Since that business is closed now, I guess its at his house, It will work, I'm sure. Even if its dry of lube, dusty, I still wouldn't hesitate to grab it and go.
I do know the 870 I bought for another business was also brought home when they retired. Stayed in a hall closet for about 8 years until one night the old boss used it to dispatch a critter( he lives out in the country)--dunno If I'd trust another platform to stay dormant and loaded, and work.
just me.

detachable magazines are fine and dandy, but without them, the gun doesn't work.
you can't do a very effective select slug with them.
you can't shoot one, load one, either.
