[QUOTE="PillsburyDoughboy, post: 5719659, member: 14197"] Hard to say which one is best. Its probably going to come down to user preference and user dedication in learning to manipulate and the learning curve of the tube fed shotgun. The biggest advantages of the semi auto shotgun are the generally kick less than the pump and can be manipulated in alternate shooting positions such as Prone and braced shooting positions without transition and they can be manipulated with one hand if the other hand is required to do other things such as manipulate a radio, cell phone, flashlight or rescue a family member from harms way such as a small child. The Biggest cons are they are more expensive and generally require feeding it premium ammo. They can be sensitive to loads. 12 Gauge IMHO is really the only way to go. Although a argument could be made for 20 Gauge for very fragile or weak family members such as smaller children or very small framed women. Shorter stocks or should I say properly fitted stocks go a long way to soaking up recoil when they "fit" correctly in the pocket. I am probably in the minority here but #1 Buckshot would be my recommended load. .30 cal projectiles and you have 12 to 16 of them going down range compared to 8 or 9. Usually gives very good patterns. [/QUOTE]
