I was looking around on the web and I stumbled across a couple of sites with lots of different types of specialized ammo for 12ga shotguns. I have been working hard on assembling an all around tactical package for WROL/SHTF. After seeing all the types of ammo available, I would really like to add a shotgun in with my rifle and my Glock 22. I figured since I'll be getting a MOLLE vest already, I could add a shotgun scabbard to the back of it and have a shell holder somewhere on the vest.
So I'm looking for a shotgun that will be as close to 100% reliable as possible. I want a fairly short barrel, about 18in., and the shotgun needs to be as light as possible, but it can't have too much recoil. In the role this shotgun would be playing, the Mrs. or my son (he's 14) might have to shoot it. It needs to be weather resistant and have a finish that will prevent rust Most importantly, it needs to be durable and take a hard beating without batting an eyelash. I know that some of these might be sort of contradictive to each other,but I'm willing to compromise to get what I want. I don't have a preference to either pump or semi-auto, and I don't care about the stock style. (It should have a stock)
edit: I don't think it can be choked since I'd use specialized ammo through it as well as slugs, buckshot, and whatever else I can find.
I'm also hoping to find it under about $600-$700. I don't know if a shotgun like this exists, but I'm sure someone can point me in the right direction.
edit:I'm willing to go over that budget if the shotgun has what I want. Yes I know you get what you pay for, and I have 2 Beretta Urika 2's that illustrate that.
