Tyler, my HD shotguns are well used 870s. But like the 1911( another familiar platform to me) I recognise that expertise with a pump requires a bit or bunch more training because of the more complicated MOA.

Compare a GM to a Model 13 S&W, For someone who knows the 1911, that may be the better choice. For Jane or Joe Average, the simple DA revolver is way easier to learn without having to run a few thousand rounds through it.

Doubles are easier to learn, the downside, just two shots.

However, often two is enough.

HD shotguns are not one size or style fits all. An arthritic senior may be better served with a simple to operate break action 410 than a customized Saiga 12 with belt feed and lazer.
