Second Hand Mossberg 9200 or new Benneli M4 for triple the price?

Hit there!

Title says almost all. I was offered two hardly used 18,5" Mossberg 9200s.The strange thing is that I can hardly find any info on that "jungle gun" on the internet.

The alternative would be a Benelli M4 or a Remington 11-87 or a coach gun.

The purpose is: Backup for SHTF situations in an office with a specific threat (lawfirm with determined shizoid-paranoic BG on speed with some "issues" let loose again for being "healed").

"Backup" means that there must be 20 Seconds to prepare. The specific threat called before he attacked the last time. If he were to strike without warning, our handguns would have to suffice anyway.

Unfortuneately I am not making this up.
Thanks for your time and thought,
PB

the 9200 jungle gun was developed for US marines about 10 years ago.
Some saw some field use but their downfall was the gas port orings need cleaning about every 200-300 shots.
I have a 9200 in Turkey form with a 22 inch barrel. It works perfect until the 200 round mark when the gas system begin to slow due to the crap factor.
For a defensive gun they'res no finer shotgun made, just keep it clean.
I sure wish Ii had those 2 jungle guns because they are not very common in the USA.
