i dont know if y'all have a first post requirement. . . but i prefer pumps over semi's for all of my duck/goose hunting. i grew up shooting this old single shot my father gave me then on to an 870. now i have 3 870's and they're all i shoot. some of my buddy's like auto's but i can get my shots off with a pump just as fast if not faster and hit what i'm shooting at...
