The Best HD shotgun?
I was going to answer that ost below with forget the Semi Auto and go with a Pump, but the thread was going so good I had to let it run...
Back to my choice, a Pump is mde for some very private reasons of fit function and general reliability.
In any scenario where you might be called to use a Shotgun it'll be a total panic moment, one where you need not be worrying about the safety button, or how to charge the semi=auto action (did you pick up a shell?) and your focus will beupon avoiding being shot or stabbed!
Here, is where the Pumpgun comes best into play! All worries except the safety button placement and condition, will be tken care of by that one wrack of the pumphandle! Now providing the gun was loaded, you are ready to defend your life! a simple mechanical tool that dosen't rely on automatic anythings!
I view the revolver much in the same sense, because you can see and depend upon what mechanical function is going on!
Maybe that was why the allure of the old Colt Single Action hung on for so long? It was totally mechanical and controlable t possibly the WORST moment in your life!
The one instance where the "BEE'S" were buzzing by me and I HAD to shoot, I was sure glad I had a lever action rifle in my hands and that when I pointed for the middle, that;s where it shot! No I didn;t stick around to survey the area, I ranbecause there were 3 others and the one down occupird them so's I could get away, No, Ido not know the outcome. I wish it wou;dn't have happened!
Had it been a Shotgun, I am sure of that outcome but the way it shook down I dunno?
What I am trying to say is "IF" you need it, rely upon something manual that Y O U cycle, feed and pull off! MOST OF ALL PRAY THAT YO WON'T HAVE TO!
