Brownells's also carries the A-Zoom 12 gauge snaps caps. I have a bunch, and they have worked well for my on reloading practice.

I'm a pump gun man, yet I'm convinced that untrained shooters will have more malfunctions with a pump than a semi auto. Pumps require positive and hard motion in both directions: all the way back and all the way forward. Everybody knows this, but many can't do it right. Next, keep some forward pressure on the slide until the gun fires.Then pump like hell. Keeping forward pressure on the slide until it goes bang is essential for trouble free 870 operation. For either brand, extraction malfunctions can usually be fixed by chamber cleaning and then polishing with 0000 steel wool. My experiece is that chambers in both brands require this treatment as a first step. Doing so will eliminate many head aches. Also, I've observed that many crappy shotgun shells are on the market. I refer to birdshot offerings that you might use for practice. I have pumps that won't work with some of these. The last case of S&B buckshot that I bought even has extraction issues in some but not all of my shotguns. This statment does not indict the brand but points out that specs can and will vary because of tolerance issues. Law enforcement buckshot brands are the only way to go for serious users. If you are a.serious user and desire bird shot for any reason(?), then buy Winchester AA Trap Loads. I can explain why an AR beats trumps a shotgun. However, I've never found an AR that I can grab, mount, and have it shoot where I look. Inside my house, that's a hard combo to beat.
I find it interesting and informative to see just how, in the last half century, gear and techniques and understanding of both evolve. I also find it interesting "to see what people looked like back then". Notice no 400# scooter users?

Did a search to find this thread.
Looks like a great resource and some good links. Thanks to the OP.
I find myself interested in a shotgun. I’m in FL, and with recent bad storms a shotgun seems like a pretty good deterrent to assholes who might wander uninvited into my neighborhood after a storm.
Hence, the interest.
I have zip for shotgun experience. Maybe shot a 14 ga on the farm as a yute a couple times, is about it.
I’ll be looking at this thread and others to see if my questions are answered (probably are). At this point I don’t know what I don’t know.
