Picatinny rail with ghost rings

Holosun 507C-X3

Streamlight Protac H-LX with a pressure switch on the other side

Arisaka mount for stream light (highly recommend)

Aluminum milled mount for the pressure switch off of amazon but fits perfectly

Starting to look at these over the Beretta a300 ultima... Anyone have any comparisons?

The only real downside of a semi automatic is perceived reliability but with shotguns like the Benelli M4 you see that they are no less reliable then any of the most reliable pumps.

The whole reasoning for going with a pump atleast for me and a 590A1 at that was that I wanted a gun that would last me my lifetime and was everything short of bomb proof although there are rumours these survived some grenades and other explosives in war. I didn’t want to have to worry about gas seals in 20 years time pretty much.

Another thing with semis is that they can sometimes be pretty sensitive to the load you are shooting. Some don’t cycle with certain loads while others cycle with some. I wanted to remove that possibility for error which is why I went pump.

If home defense ever becomes legal in Canada I do imagine picking up a semi auto shotgun one day for sure and plan on getting one regardless as I feel for everything short of shtf/grid down they are superior in many ways especially with today’s technology.

I mean the a300 is semi auto hard to compare
