I am in favour of this 20 ga Mossberg 500 I posted an Picture off.
Shoots fine birdshot and awesome anything else. I lowered just 2 birds from a distance of about 10 to 15 meters with this open choke gun using #1 birdshot.
Seems Mossberg has fixed it's issue with the stop bars.
Using buckshot should you get a hit in an defensive Situation (at 25 meters all #4 Buck hit in an 10" circle) without big Training. Being an pump Action gun further reduces the Need of Training.
Automatics I do not recommend for defensive use since there is a too much variety of ammo. Specially if you prepare your own defensive ammo, as I do, the ONLY way to go is with an pump Action.
Automatic shotguns are way better in quick Shooting but it does you any good if it Fails to load (specially if you make or modify your ammo).
Best Thing of this 20 gauge caliber is it's recoil. It has considerably less recoil than an 12 ga since I have no headaches anymore Shooting an shotgun. Shooting an 12 ga I get headaches; Shooting this 20 gauge no headaches are present. I am about 60 Kg of weight. The gun is actually 3.05 Kg (6.72 lbs).
I recommend this model for smaller People, lighter People, women and elderly/younger People. Don't mess your Body up with an 12 ga gun.
