[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3754529, member: 48072"] ^ Having had to occasionally (1-2x/week) carry either a Benelli M4 or Mossberg 590A1 in Iraq, I will attest that the Benelli never gave any of us issues. Actually, now that I think of it, one of my sections had a loaded one on standby 24/7. I liked the Mossberg too...enough that I bought one as a civilian. The biggest benefit to the pump was that it ran non-lethal shells without hiccup...something a semi-auto can't do. Never was in a firefight with a shotgun (thankfully), but either one inspired confidence. Modern pump shotguns need either a smoothing over, or about 2K cycles of the action to get comfortably smooth. Never short stroked one, but can see it happening to an unfamiliar user with a rough action. My 870 Wingmasters are so smooth the weight of the gun will work the action bars almost like a pro if the internal hammer is down. Since I store my shotguns that way I have to be careful how I hold them when I pull it out of the safe...same with my old Model 12s. [/QUOTE]
