Hey guys, I am looking into getting myself a good shotgun, for HD. Being as I am very shotgun ignorant, I compiled my own wish list for a shotgun. Now, I have to ask if it exists.
12g, magazine fed (preferably one that holds more than 5 or 6 shells), semi-auto, about a 12 or 14" barrel (yes, this means NFA paperwork, but for HD I feel it is worth it), a pistol grip and a collapsable (not folding) stock, and some place on the front to mount a surefire, or other good light on the front.
As I noted, I want a SBS, how short can the barrel be and still be an effective 12g?
Two other features I am not sure as to what would be better. What kind of sights would go good on a shotgun for HD? Obviously, I won't be in need a scope. Also, would it matter if the barrel was rifled or not? (I haven't yet decided if my HD shotgun would use slugs or shot.)
Thank you all for any advice, or if you know of a shotgun that fits this list, thanks for pointing me to it.
