I've have lots of trigger time with a M2 Tactical, M4, M1S90, FN SLP Tactical, 930 SPX, 870's, 590A1's, a Versa MAX Tactical, Stoeger M3000, and handled a 1301 but never fired this model.
M2, great gun. But light. Beats me up after 100-150 high brass rounds. 922r
M4, heavy but very manageable after long strings of fire. 922r
M1S90, light, doesn't like low brass, when tuned for LB, recoil from high brass feels like it's beating the gun to death.
FN SLP Tactical, for me it was the perfect balance in weight. Heavy enough for recoil management, but light enough for maneuverability. Kind of like a M2/M4 hybrid. Eats everything. Only gripe is changing pistons for 1oz or less to 1oz or more, but it takes all of 10 seconds.
930SPX, I wish Mossberg would break these in at the factory.
Multiple FTF, FTE, double feeds onto lifter and just felt cheap.
I just couldn't trust one even when running right after all the problems I had.
870, what don't you already know. Reliable pump. We'll see how they turn out with the new Remington Co.
590, my favorite pump. Light, Reliable, tang safely. Oh don't forget some models accept bayonets
Versa MAX is an amazing shotgun. Eats everything, but it's basically a Benelli copy.
Stoeger M3000, shot good. Rear aperture is plastic and was broken when received. It took 100 or so rounds to break-in but was great after that. Like the M1S90 it felt like it was beating itself up with high brass.
1301, handled one but never fired it. Light like an M2, Very nice feature like enlarged bolt handle and release. The texturing on the stock and forearm is very sharp though. I'd have to sand it down if I bought one.
My 0.02
The 2 I ended up with is the SLP and a 590 Shockwave with a brace and ghost ring sights.
