Don't get me wrong - I am not saying the 12 is a bad choice, only that the use of the pump over other platforms is a compromise for absolute premium performance. many folks can run the pump very effectively after a lot of practice but most practice does not involve life and death scenarios with real stress and that is when Mr. Murphy typically shows up at the party. Add in that many times someone other than the main user needs to use it under those less than ideal conditions, and short-shucking and other maladies can arise. #4 - 0 buck can be just as effective and in a semi or even a SxS can be used very well by folks with less training
