What is the general consensus of a semi-auto shotgun? Are these now considered highly reliable self-defense tools, or still something that in most cases a regular pump would do better?
I'd always been intrigued with the higher-end Benelli's as far as tactical shotguns go, and of course those converted Saiga-12's seem to be awesome. But I noticed the other day that Mossberg has the 930SPX which seems like it would be a perfect fit for my budget and needs (home defense / range fun).
For a first shotgun, is something like that viable to get, or am I better served with the standard Remington 870 / Mossberg 500 (think those are the correct model #'s)?
