That's a pretty pimped-uped pump gun you've put together! Considering the history of combat/sd/le shotguns and the ammunition that's been proven in combat/sd/le you've got to expect a lot of head shaking and snickering with all that on what was a fundamentally good SD shotgun to begin with.
Combat shotguns have been around since before WWI and #6, double aught and slugs have been putting bad guys in their place forever. So, we look at all the money spent on the special items that have been put on your 1300 and know that much of that (the flashlight is the only essential add-on for most SD shotguns according to experts) money would have been spent on a good civilian SD shotgun course and a few cases of #6 and a case of Brenneke slugs.
You've agreed that training trumps toys by claiming that you're "ready" due to some sort of military training, but any possible training in the military that you may or may not have received is different from the training you'd get in civilian use of a SD shotgun from a credible trainer.
For anyone that hasn't taken a good course or at least spent the time learning from firing a few cases worth of ammunition, all the specialty gear and ammo in the world won't make up for lack of training. Much of that stuff that you can throw on a fundamentally sound SD shotgun costs more than a good course and doesn't make you ready to defend yourself any more than a bumble bee muffler makes you a race car driver. If you've got the money to burn on gizmo's, good, but anyone would be much better served by signing up for a SD shotgun course and putting the rounds down range to learn to run the gun instead.
