I've googled around and just managed to get myself more overwhelmed by options.
I understand that mossberg 500 and Remington 870 are the Ford vs. Chevy competitors in the pump category, and sort of the "standard" that many people choose to start with. The price point is certainly attractive.
I think I want a semi-auto. I do recognize the significant expense of moving to this option.
Interested in shooting trap, but also consider it as a home defense option. I guess I am looking for versatility as a second to reliability.
I'm sorta dialed into the Remington versamax and benelli m4......but found my way to those options accidentally.
Is there is good resource, or local IP that specializes in shotguns and can lend some guidance?
I've always thought is would be nice for AGC (or some other entity) to host a show and tell, (shoot and tell?), where members could bring out their shotguns, people show up and peruse them, ask their owners about them, maybe test fire them, and get more informed and generally become more familiar with them. Even a holster show and tell would be beneficial so that people could get more educated on the options out there, rather than ending up with a box of trial and error. Surprised no one is throwing pizza parties and doing this already.....I would think it would draw a ton of people (and create sales opportunities for the host).
I went down the same road with my handgun.....my ultimate desire is a single handgun, single carbine, and a single shotgun.....and to become deeply proficient with each. It took me 3 handguns to finally settle in to the right one for me. Now I'm going through the same thing with night sight options for it.....
Thanks in advance for the guidance. This has been a very helpful site.
