I have started off with a Mossberg 500. Then I had a Bennelli Super 90 SWAT model and a Berreta 1200 semi auto. While the two autos were a hair faster than the 500, they could not handle lite loads or shoot slugs for the life of them. The 500 groups slugs with a 18 inch barrel smooth bore with rifle sights at 3 to 10" at 100 yards. I still have the 500 after all these years but the autos were gone in 3 years. Taken many deer and birds with it and yes I had an intruder make a fast exit when he heard the slide being racked!!! My guns are only in condition one when they are in my hands. Safety first.
