I may be misinterpreting but pump action is manual. Semi auto just needs the first round chambered. For pump the standbys are Mossberg 500 and Remington 870. Oodles of accessories for either. For semi-auto, someone else will hopefully chime in- I don't use them.

870, it's an iconic and great gun. I've had to use mine to help me get out of thigh deep mud in Mt. Sinai. Took her home, stripped her and cleaned her and never had a problem. I'm skeptical that any automatic would be able to do that.

Field and Stream ha a great article about the 870: It Always Goes Bang

Winchester Model 12 for me. Countless trips duck hunting in the 80's. Pheasant hunts in the 90's. Shot my first turkey with it 8 years ago. Never paddled with it or buried it in the mud ...... 😎

For what application? Field birds and bunnies, I'd go 20. For waterfowl, 12 if not 10...

20 is lighter, shorter barrel and easier to swing. If personal protection is the goal the 12 holds more pellets per shell and with a shortened barrel would be my choice along with semi auto rather than pump.

how does a 20 guage disperse vs a 12 or 10 guage? Whats the sound profile of each?

I am asking because i want to defend my family in case shit hits the fan. (i love bunnys Dom) LOL

IMHO I would go with a 410 for home protection lighter smaller and will show the same result up close and personal
