I just want one to blast trash and maybe shoot 3 Gun.

AR15's are so much better for just about everything else.

Blasting trash > 3 gun

Fight me. I'm not kidding or trolling. I have several shotguns but only shoot two gun. I love Blasting trash though lol

I’ve got a 1301 and I’m very happy with it.

Cheap. Gets good reviews.

Benelli M2

I have two pump guns and need an autoloader. I came very close to spending $1500 on a 1301 last year, but instead spent over $2000 on an FNX-45T with RMR and X300U...and a shitload of (~$50 ) magazines.

I'll probably get one next year. It will be ODG. The wife got me to agree not to buy any more guns this year, which I was cool with because I've put night vision off for far too long.

Get you a 20 ga M2, chop that sucker to 12.75”, and satisfy all your tactical, HD, and sporting needs.

And you can always put a long barrel back on if your SBS wing shooting isn’t up to snuff.

Online, but prices are even higher than I mentioned for those in stock.

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.

Looks like I don't have a picture of my SLP on my phone but like this:

With my autoloader, I can miss clays three times faster!

That's a huge amount of lead in a hurry. Inside 20 yd not much would live, even armored.

I just picked up a Vepr 12 this weekend. I did NOT pay that much

Always up for some M4 love.  Thor's Hammer of the shotgun world...absolutely love mine...

Are the 922 upgrades worth it? I'm on the fence with mine.

Yeap, got a few, realistically they are going to be the last gun I ever reach for.

You set for NODs/suppressors etc ?

I think the carrier comp mag tube is a must-have.  Collapsible stock? Meh... But it looks cool.  Shoots fine compared to the fixed stock.  I much prefer the larger charging handle and bolt release.

You misspelled Browning A5.

Yes you need one.  Buy a box of clays throw them  on the ground or berm and shoot they as bad guys.  Walk , run or hide behind obstacles.  Great fun and it teaches you gun control and the proper sighting to hit targets.  And yes you can miss with a shot gun.

An M4 is next on the list.

I enjoy mine. It’s not a need, but I sure don’t feel unarmed with it when I hear a bump in the night.

Why do people sell guns?

Bullshit.  3 gun is best gun.



M2 uber alles.

I have a Saiga 12, Vepr 12, mossberg 930 and a Breda B12i Comp. Semi auto is awesome in shooting sports. The Breda is a freaking dream in 3 gun.

Bite the bullet and spend the dough to get a 1301.

I loved my 1301 so much, I bough a second one,  they are that good,  

I have a PVS-14 WP and 2 suppressors, so I can’t say set as I wish I would have done dual tubes and want a few more suppressors.
