I've been slowly dipping my toes into the idea of getting a home defense shotgun. I grew up w pump guns, but feel the urge to get a semi.
But my experience w Semi's is limited - Rem 1100, Mossberg 930 SPX, & a Benelli M4. I didn't care for the Remington. I was OK w the Mossberg. I really liked the Benelli.
Based on the thread here on Pistol-Training & a friend who works at Beretta I've also been strongly considering the Beretta 1301 - but no one has one here in Arizona to get some trigger time with.
So basically- I guess I'm asking - what should I be aware of as someone who's never owned a semi smooth bore prior.
- oh side bar - my local gun shop had the Benelli Vinci. That thing is sweet. Just really need some trigger time with one. But for the life of me, if you are Benelli - why come out w a sleek new gun at the same price point as your main piece - the M4? Odd.
