Winchester pumps!!! I've never owned one but have used several as duty shotgun. Every one I have ever used would "hang" briefly when trying to cycle the next round. I'd feel more comfortable armed with a pocket of rocks after that first shot. I've always perferred pumps, even for hunting. I've never experienced this with the Mossberg 500, my favorite, nor the Remington 870. Although like Dave's experience with A-5 I can't hit anything with an 870.
On the other hand I can't seem to miss with the, now discontinued, Browning 2000.

We live in a time in which attitudes and deeds once respected as courageous and honorable are now scorned as being antiquated and subversive.
