Ok I've heard people say it's possible to shoot a shotgun so it's almost like shooting a semi-auto. I'm assuming and I hate to assume that it just take practice. And then it becomes muscle memory. Is there any one pump shotgun better than the other. As far as ease of slide cycling.
Well, you COULD always get a semi auto shotgun. As far as pumps go, the only one I ever had was the old standard Mossberg 500. It worked great, and you can operate the pump fast enough to hit doubles thrown from a spring powered thrower. I liked the Mossy better than my friend's Winchester pump, because the Mossberg had two steel bars to transfer motion from the pump to the action, vs the Winchester only having one. ( I don't know what model his was, but it broke that single bar once, so I wasn't too impressed.)
probably a good reason why they sell so many.
Imo whether u are Shooting pump or semi, how to hold it and stance are critical to getting shots on target quickly. if not using proper technique either one will be less effective.

The Winchester SXP pump action is easy and smooth. I have a new one (traded from another member here). I can work it very fast. As soon as it fires, it unlocks and practically pumps itself. Read about it on the Winchester website. It's an inertia assisted system.
