I'm a big fan of the inertia driven shotguns and own a Benelli field gun and a Beretta 1201FP for home defense. They kick a little more, but are very light and they stay amazingly clean since they are not using the gases to cycle. Both have always been 100% with various rounds.
Stoeger and Franchi are now part of Beretta along with Benelli so you have a couple choices in your price range. |

This is my first dance with a semi-auto shotgun, and I don't know if this is something I will like relatively long term or just a short passing interest. Actually, I debated whether to get the Benelli Super Nova Tactical or the Mossberg Tactical. I opted for the semi auto because I already have a pump. |

For the Mossberg 930 - The one I got is the 85322. Started dros yesterday. I will let you know about how mine does with the light loads once I get'er out there. I will be adding a few things that might make it worse, and a few things that might make it better...
Mesa tactical/pistol stock - tends to add more tension to the spring in the stock, causing light loads to FTE. Though, I like OP said, I hope they ironed out some of the issues, plus I plan to only use it with 00 buckshot, so the light loads will just be for testing. I'm also adding Or3gun parts that should help with the cycling. New spring plunger, spring retainer, marine spacer tube, and a competition forearm retainer (I felt the wobble in the forearm when I started dros, really glad I got this retainer to hold it solid).

Does it really need a recoil pad? I have one but haven't shot it yet. I used to have an 1100 that cycled like glass with everything from #8 birdshot to slugs to 00, and only had a plastic buttplate. Wish it hadn't gotten stole. |

We were shooting out of mixed 50 Cal cans of random ammo from wwb to fed target shot mixed with various slugs and buck. Like I said before hearing all these complaints I'm honestly kind of amazed, I must have lucked out. Mine has been a dream. If the A300 wasn't lighter I would have bought a 930 sporting.

Not true. You just don’t want to use too tight of a choke.

I worked the gun counter at a Cabela’s part time for 2.5 years. I saw Benelli, Beretta, Weatherby, Browning, Winchester, Mossberg, Remington, Franchi and Stoeger semi-autos with issues. Saw the most with Stoeger, all others were about equal issue wise.

Im sure it has more to do with ammo choice, tuning, and cleaning rather than actual issues. From my experience the semi autos had the most problems with Walmart bird shot. |

I purchased one of the first SA-20’s(online purchase) and the bolt release button didn’t work. My CS experience was less than stellar. It didn’t keep me from purchasing the 930 because when I didn’t get good service at the Eagle Pass location I called corporate and asked to speak to Alan Mossberg because I had a complaint. My issue got handled to my satisfaction most riki tic. I almost always give a company a second chance because every company of any size has at least one employee that’s a syphilitic druid.

OP,
I picked up a Benelli M1S90 used for $550 plus DRoS from a local gun store. We've seen them for pretty cheap from time to time. I think if you look hard enough, you might be able to snag one for cheap. The gun was in near perfect shape, and now we use this as an HD gun. We previously held an 870, but now that we have two kids, it would be easier for my wife to manipulate with one hand. It's quite the sight to see when she practices too... Jerry

You can shoot a slug through an IC choke. 3 gun competition dudes have sent cases of slugs through all kinds of chokes without issues. However, your slugs are usually a lot more accurate and consistent with your more 'open' chokes like IC or SK.

Thanks, " FCB ". I am taking off early from work today, to do the paperwork. I am as excited as a teenager going on a...first date.

Saw it for the first time at the FFL. Inspected and was satisfied. There are no slop whatsoever from the forend. Finish was blemish free though not as smoothly done as some more expensive brand.
Used my fingers to feel for any rough spots or burrs in the chamber, nada. Pull back the bolt, it was stiff in its tracks but smooth gliding nonetheless. Inspected the box (brown not blue), noted a date labeled " packaged 06/../2018 ". So perhaps this was made just a few months back. I am happy and satisfied with my cursory inspection of the SG, I proceeded with the paperwork and I should be able to take possession after 10 days from today. The FFL even gave me a box of Remington 00 buckshot. Nice FFL, fast and efficient, his price is better than most local dealer I've visited. Last edited by DArBad; 09-21-2018 at 4:49 PM.. |

For those with a JM Pro, do you think the extra features are worth the money? A couple years ago, the local Walmart was closing out the sporting model, and it was a deal I couldn't refuse. I figured worse case, I could put a long mag tube on it, but the barrel is also too long. Not sure I want to buy another barrel.
But what I really wanted was a JM Pro, so if it's worth it, I might just sell the 930 I have and buy a JM Pro. |

Here is my approximately 30-year-old Remington 1100 in a HD configuration.
18.5" Parkerized, Improved cylinder choke, bead-sight barrel Wilson Combat 1-shot magazine extension Remington competition carrier Brownells combat bolt handle I stoke this with Hornady Critical Defense 8-pellet 00 buckshot, 1600 fps. Not a mild load. Don't mess around with home defense. Be serious and use good ammunition!

Will your 930 be basically used as a home defense piece, like mine will be? If so, you will have overspend for the JM Pro. The JM Pro is loaded with features set up more for competition than anything else. That is not to say you couldn't use it for either hunting or HD. It is a versatile shotgun. I too liked the JM Pro, just couldn't justify the price I will have to pay vs. the actual intended use. I have the money for the JM Pro, because I just sold away two 1911s. I just decided the 930 Security offers the most bang for my intended use. But, if you like the JM Pro and are unhappy with your current 930 Sporting, sell it away and use the money instead in purchasing a JM Pro. Better to do it that way than monkey around upgrading your 930 Sporting. You didn't specify if the " sporting " model you have is one of those newer Pro Sporting Model with an input from the famed Gil Ash(w/ Cerakote finish, Briley chokes, Hi-Viz sights, wood stock) or one of the cheaper ones. If what you own is one of the cheaper ones, just sell it away and get the JM Pro. Just my 2 cents. Last edited by DArBad; 09-23-2018 at 6:00 AM.. |

If you decide to get the JMPro, know the fixes that you can do for it to keep it running. These also apply to the 930.
