Most important features for a tactical shotgun?
How important all these features to you for a tactical shotgun and why, please?
1) Semi vs Pump Action
2) Ghost rings
3) Folding Stock
4) Pistol grip
5) Muzzle Break
I've got up to $900 to work with, to buy and accessorize my shotgun. I'm torn between the saiga 12, a mossberg 590A1, remington 1100 tac-4, mossberg 930 road blocker!
Most important feature?.....
SIMPLICITY !..............
Avoid all tactical nonsense.... When you need a shotgun to defend yourself or your family the last thing you need is to be fumbling around with top folding, side folding, under-folding, collapsible stocks, lazer pointers, flashlight buttons or anything pistol grip......
The Most reliable shotgun on the planet is the Mossberg 500 / 590 series of shotguns...... Avoid semi-autos, or the Remington 870 shotguns.... Semi-autos have a reputation for fail to feeds, jambs or fail to ejects... The time for a malfunction is not during a home invasion... Reliability is a serious business - don't screw around.... A note about the 870 - Those are a fine shotgun for hunting but forget it for defense - I don't give a poop how many police cars have them.....
Here are the technical details why.....

Also avoid pistol grips - You can not reliably hit anything with any accuracy with one of them.... They look cool and sinister in the movies or video games so dont be influenced by that....
Consider a short barrel Mossberg 500 or 590 with a full stock and no nonsense add ons........
6 shot short barrel Mossberg 500.....

8 shot short barrel Mossberg 500......

The 590s for home defense are a little overkill but if you want the best then get one.....

Trust me I own them all -- The 870's, 590's, 500's and even the 930 SPX.....
Take a look.... Heres a few of them....

Get a No nonsense model, nice cleaning kit, decent hard shell case and ammunition in bulk......
You do not need to spend $900 or even close for reliabilty..... A $300 gun with a $90 case and $20 cleaning kit is all you need....
By the way -- Clean your shotgun like this... It sounds crazy but works....

and buy bulk 2 3/4 inch slugs and buckshot.....

and learn to be good at this and your all set.....
