So, I am considering replacing my aged 870 Wingmaster home defense shotgun for a semi auto (no, I won't sell it, don't worry - just want to buy something that I have less sentiment for to fill the role of HD shotgun). I've looked at the Mossberg 930 SPX, FN SLP, and the various Benellis out there.
The Benellis are a little rich for my blood, but I've also heard several less than flattering things about the 930 family of shotguns. What is the consensus on this? I am willing to spend what it takes to buy a nice shotgun (I am in no rush to make this purchase at all), but I also don't want to blow huge amounts of money on a gun if I can get one that functions just as well for less. What is the Glock of semi-auto scatterguns?
Only requirements are that it have bead sights or fiber optics (just no rifle sights), the ability to accept a weaponlight, and reasonable ergos. Thoughts?
