Soft-shooting semi auto

SMITTY! - He actually said, "I'd like to keep it under $500 but would go to $800 if need be." Several good options under that mark have been mentioned but I'll admit that $1500 is out of line.

KC - I added weight to my 11-87 by filling a bean-bag with lead shot and sticking it in the hollow of the synthetic stock. I also made a lead-filled weight that replaced the 3-shot plug. I found that I didn't need them with the weight of the gun and 7/8 oz. loads.
 
I think I'm going with the 1100, seems to be popular, no real complaints, versatile, and easy to shoot and deal with recoil. I'd also take the Beretta 390 from what I've read. I shot a semi-auto on Wenesday and was suprised at the difference in the recoil between the semi and the pump action in a shotgun, much more significant drop in felt recoil than the difference between bolt and semi rifles! I am pretty sure with a vest on, I'll be just fine. That being said, I also bought a Winchester 1400 mkII, but only because I got it for $200 bucks, from a good home where I know it was cared for, and its in good shape, minor wear to the stock's finish but no cracks and good blueing. Plus removable chokes and came with both an imp and a mod. Magazine capacity is only 2 so I will probably still buy another soon. I just couldn't pass it up for the money.
 
500 should buy you nice older Winchester super X-1. The finest and softest shooting semi auto ever built.

The SX-1 was / is a great gun, that's the trouble around here they are extremely hard to find, so the ones that do come up for sale are in the $600 range...
 
I have a Beretta a390 12ga gold mallard that is a duplicate for me. $500 includes shipping to your FFL.
3 chokes, wrench and cloth carry.
