·Ok, first post, so if I touch on anything that has been covered before, sorry.
I am a pistol man, and always have been, but a few weeks ago, a friend let me put a few rounds (shells) through his Benelli M1 S90. What can I say, I was hooked. I need to add a shotgun to my collection.
I would love to get one like his, but I don't really have the $$$ on hand for that, so I started to look around. I have found two that might fit the bill for me. One is a used Win1300 Defender in 20 ga. for $250., and the other is a new Mossy 590DA w/ ghostring sights for $350.
I am leaning to the Winchester because of price (yes, I'm a cheap one), but would 20ga. be sufficient for defense? Should I cough up the extra $100. for the Mossy?
Also, I have to be honest, while I did love shooting the 12ga., my shoulder was hurtin after 25 or so shells. I am sure I would adjust to it, but maybe a 20ga. would be better?
Any input or thoughts would be great. Thanks in advance to all.
