i had problems with several 870 pumps, switched to mossberg 500 and was much improved but still have problems. first time i shoot the 500 in a month, i used full power 12 ga buck 2 3/4". the recoil is fine by me but the forearm moves back automatically and this time it went far enough to eject the shell which i saw so i moved the forearm forward thinking the next shell went in but it did not.
im well aware of short stroking but it always seems to get me when i first shoot after a while. i also short stroke while duck hunting and not concentrating while pumping real fast. how likely am i to mess up the pumping half asleep with a home invader? very likely imo. time to look for a semi auto shotgun for hd.
i don't care to spend more than $500 to $600 but it has to be reliable with full power buckshot and slugs. not needed for hunting, just hd. i watched a little on the mossberg 930. looks good. open to suggestions.
