I am currently using an 870 police model, but would like to explore adding to the shotgun battery. I'd really like to pick up an Ithaca as that is a design I am familiar with and shoot well (being a lefty the bottom eject is nice.). However I am interested in some of the semi-autos out there. Obviously the Benelli is an option, but what else? I checked the search feature and been trying to read up on line without much success. If folks would part with their wisdom of "this one works for me". I'd appreciate. Its function will be as a home defense gun and shooting mainly buckshot out of it. Thanks!
