      I have an M2 with a seven-round mag and some work done on it. Fun and runs like a dream. My 1301 is faster and lighter, yet less felt recoil. It is the tactical model, so also has a seven-round mag tube. They are Cruiser Ready at hand at home. My back up weapon is CZ P01 with a Cajun Gun Works trigger. Fast, fast, fast and smooth. Behind that is my Springfield 1911 in .45. If the bad guys get past all those I am probably already dead, so……….. Great vid gents, dunno how I missed it for 3 years.

I came across a video called (as I remember)"5 guns for your college student" and never turned back. In that one year I bought a glock 19, a 91/30, a Maverick 88, and my first AR. And I've been on the journey ever since. You guys helped fill the gaps of knowledge that I couldn't get from my own family and ill always be thankful for that.

      I wish I had anything (common sense to boot) in my mid-20's I would have two or three of every popular caliber up to 50 BMG and could have bought a ranch. From 1994-2004 (Omnibus Crime Bill) made it 'illegal' to manufacture or import rifle mags >10 rounds. 30 round mags were selling for $50 & much higher. Crime with 'black rifles' was one of its selling points which was BS. Murders still went up-same as always, with handguns.

      Pump or bolt? Marlin made the model 200 pump with long barrels, from 30 to 38 inches, and those barrels sell for more than the shotgun does now.
      Bolt, odds are it was the Marlin Model 55, Super Goose, in 10 bore. Excellent duck blind gun, but impractical for field use. I have 3 M 55s, one a 20 in Swamp Gun, a 36 in M 55, both 12s, and just added a.Super Goose, last year. Also have my grandfathers 200, with the 19 inch slug barrel, and the 36 in bird barrel.

    I've had a Vepr 12 for awhile, what a fun gun to shoot. It doesn't like low velocity loads though when it comes to bird shot, has to be 1200 fps + and even then on small occasions it's finicky with that depending on the brand shell used where I get stove pipes, so I've found 1250 fps + is the sweet spot with mine. Got a few modifications done to mine, but the one thing I would say you need to put on it is a GK-01 muzzle brake which significantly reduces recoil especially as you get into the heavier loads like buckshot & slugs.

I ran it through light bird shot all the way to buckshot and it ate it up with ease.

    A long time ago after I came back from Southeast Asia in 1968 I went shooting with a friend who was nuts about skeet. Kept written records on his precious skeet gun, a Remington 1100. At that time it was up to 128,000 rounds. Never failed. No broken parts; only needed a rubber O-ring from time to time. He lived and shot another 30 years. The gun lasted until it was passed on to relatives. Around 1980 I was working at the oldest gun shop in town, a Remington repair station. A wealthy customer brought in an 1100 he had dropped out of a boat while hunting Jaguar in Central America and said it took the boys three days to find it. He unloaded it and took the barrel off and swished it around in the river to wash most of the mud out, then put the barrel on and with new shells continued hunting. My semi auto is an 1100. No fancy crap on it just good ammo in it.

    The only one of the six I've ever fired is the Mossberg 930. It was very finicky about ammo, lighter loads would not cycle. I sold it and bought a Beretta 1301 Tactical. My Beretta 1301 is very reliable with everything I have tried. Slugs, buckshot, hunting birdshot loads, light target loads - it doesn't matter, runs them all. If I could find a Beretta 1301 Competition I'd buy it. Some of those other shotguns might be better than my Beretta 1301, I don't know because I have never fired them, but I am definitely satisfied with my 1301.

    I've never had a malfunction from my SPAS-12. I've had mine for 10+ years. The problem is the vast majority of them have not been maintained for various reasons. When I got mine I replaced the O-ring for the gas system, the receiver and stock shock absorbers, and later on, the fire control group. This was done to address the safety recall issue. My gun still had the very dangerous quick employment safety. The problem is that by now, that O-ring has disintegrated and so has the receiver and stock shock absorbers. They literally fall apart after 30 years or more of sitting. Most people don't know anything about the guns or what needs to be replaced on them.
    The guns will not cycle low power ammunition when on semi-auto, but switching from pump to semi-auto is way easier than it is on the M2. You also don't need to unfold the stock for the gun to operate reliably. I've never had that issue either. The one thing I will say that's against the SPAS-12 is the fact that it's overly complex and operating it can be difficult. If you hit the magazine interrupt, or you aren't well versed at loading it, the gun is a pain to operate. I wouldn't recommend them for home defense, but they aren't as unreliable or as difficult to operate as the video makes them sound.

  • @dandylion1987

    A good semi auto with good ammo that it will cycle reliably is less likely to malfunction than a mechanically more simple pump gun is to be short shucked in a high pressure situation, like home defense.

    I just picked up a Mossberg 930 SPX. I looked all around for the best deal. It definitely was not cheap. I haven't dropped it off a mountain yet but I've worked the hell out of my MB 500 for the last 10 years. It's proven to be the most reliable gun I've ever owned, thus the reason I opted for the 930 when choosing a tactical 12g.

And before that it was a police officer’s back in the 50’s but when the officer was putting it in his cruiser it went off and blew a hole in the roof. So the sheriff said it was too dangerous and needed to be sold. So my great grandpa got it for $15.

      I've got a nice Model 11 bird gun. A previous owner had it modified with a Polychoke, vent rib and who knows what else. From the way it shoots, I suspect a lengthened forcing cone and backbored. If you miss with it, you TRIED to miss. And unlike the inertia guns I've shot, it's quick and smooth like the gas guns I'm familiar with.
      Love that shotgun.

    While I understand the Benelli Marine is associated with the USMC, the broader definition of a marine shotgun means that it is either stainless or coated with something that is rust resistant. Mossberg had the Mariner and other companies used the term marine grade, something that could be kept on your boat.

    The Franci SPAS 12 semi auto to pump function is a simple press of a button under the fore grip/stock and move it about a quarter of an inch back or forth as you change between operational modes. SPAS was an acronym for Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun and was intended for Military and Police use. Designed for M&P use it was designed to work with full power loads (slugs and buckshot) on semi auto and for lighter loads you would switch to the pump action mode. For importation to the United States they change the acronym to mean Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun.
