And the immediate action would be to stroke it a second time. If you get click when it’s supposed to,bang you stroke it again and press the trigger again. So maybe you lose 0.5 seconds?
I have a few pump guns. If I buy a 1301, then I feel like I need to sell my pump guns because I barely have time to train with the pump guns as is let alone two different shotgun platforms.
My gut tells me to keep my 590s, ignore the 1301 or any future semi shotgun and keep practicing with the 590. The likelihood I need to ever fire a round through my shotgun in self defense is small.
Is that worth me selling my pumps, buying a pair of 1301s, since I can’t just have one of anything, putting in the effort to learn it. It doesn’t seem like it. People defend theirselves with double barrel shotguns successfully. To say I need to buy a 1301 and then in 10 years a newer better one comes out and I need to sell my two 1301s and buy that. It seems wasteful.
But maybe I’m wrong, so that’s why impost my thoughts to hear what’s flawed in my argument.
I think if it’s determined the 590 isn’t good enough for self defense since I might short stroke, I might just switch to handgun for home defense since I already have that, already practice a few times a month.
