I have wanted one for awhile and with ACC putting on the Boom Stick Challenge somewhat regularly so I can play/practice with it I have discovered a burning "need" for a semi auto home defense style shotgun. My research has lead me to the following current top choices:
CZ 712 Utility - $500
Stoeger M3000 - $700
Barretta 1301 - $1,000
Should I have the Mossberg 930 on my list? Is the Berretta really worth that much more money? Should I just be looking at a cheap Turkish knock off as this does not need to be my primary home defense weapon but more of a fun gun?
I need it to run reliably with regular birdshot as that's what games are played with.
Thoughts, recommendations? First hand experience with any of these or others you recommend? I want the semi-auto so no need to mention pumps or doubles (I have those). I would truly love to hear about a RELIABLE cheaper option. The Barretta is probably a pipe dream at that cost for me but one can always dream.
