[QUOTE="Firpo, post: 3861997, member: 45550"] I think it’s all in what you’re familiar with and comfortable shooting. And by all means please feel free to send all your pump shotguns my way and I’d be happy to give them a foster home. 😉 True story, when I was a teen, maybe 15-16 years old my father and I shot a LOT of skeet and I had a BPS 20 gauge Upland Special that was all I used for skeet. As an aside note I also used that for quail and shot it so much the bluing is worn off the tang from my using the safety. In any event, I’d just load two shells for my singles and apparently after I’d shot the first bird one of the guys shooting with us said to my father “isn’t he going to shuck that gun?” My father replied “he already did.” My point is I worked that action so fast you literally couldn’t see it and I have a hard time believing a semi-auto would buy me anything. To boot I can’t tell you how many thousands of rounds I’ve ran through my BPSs, Model 12s Model 87s but in all that shooting I have never had a jam. Now I have had a dud or two and all I did was shuck the action and I was back in business. I do own semis, in fact right now their is a pristine A5 Light 12 and a 12 gauge Superposed sitting in my safe although I’ve never fired them. Kind of like you and your pumps, I don’t see a real use for them. [/QUOTE]
