Second this.Since recoil is a motivation here...
I would suggest that whatever you get , make sure the stock as well as the overall shotgun , fits you.
A firearm with a poorly designed stock / one that doesn't fit you , will be uncomfortable to shoot.

I love Mesa stocks! Their 12.5" pull is perfect for me, let's me lean into the gun and better balance for my body. Whether an M4 or 1301 (or something else - great suggestions in this thread), I'll be looking to have a Mesa stock on there...Fwiw - A box stock M4 stock is a tad to long for some folks. Mesa's stocks shorten things up a bit.
I switched back to a traditional field stock and fat 'ol limbsaver and couldn't be happier.
Yeah, that's surprising tbh.The above suggestions are great.
Only suggestion: No cheap Turkish stuff. Though the price is tempting, many are absolute junk.
Under 500 rounds and in 3 seperate Turkish semi autos I had extreme wear. So bad Ill never buy a Turkish shotgun again.
YMMV, but that was my personal experience. Absolute junk.
And this coming from a Taurus advocate.. so that truly says something
And its only because they literally tore themselves apart. 3 separate shotguns, Ive never seen such a thing before. But I felt absolutely cheated. I blame poor design and inferior metal usage. Honestly with the metal issues: it worries me when it comes to the Girsan line of pistols. I want to get their 92 clone and their 1911, 10mm hunter model.Yeah, that's surprising tbh.
I've seen and heard people disparaging Turkish-made guns before, but haven't met anyone who actually had specific issues like that.
Never had a problem with my RIA VR-80 when I owned it.
Hope my CZ shotgun (o/u) is alright.
You couldn't warranty them? That sounds defective to me, way too much wear for 500 rounds.And its only because they literally tore themselves apart. 3 separate shotguns, Ive never seen such a thing before.

The shotguns in question:
Centurion BP12 (x2)
(Technically 3, never fired final replacement)
This includes the Charles Daly original, its the same exact shotgun minus a few aesthetic differences which often costs an extra 100-200 more than the Centurion.
Panzer Arms BP12
I implore anyone owning those shotguns check their internals thoroughly. After the Panzer I was done. I had hoped the more expensive model would prove me wrong but extreme receiver and part wear developed in under 300-500 rounds with each firearm.
If someone owns one and its running fine, good luck! (Check those internals) YMMV! Perhaps I just got a few lemons, but for me it was 3 strikes and Im out.
Oh I did. Two with the Centurion. Two full replacements and the 3rd that I didnt fire and simply sold with a warning to the buyer.You couldn't warranty them? That sounds defective to me, way too much wear for 500 rounds.
Luggin a schitte-ton of shottie mags isn't something I would care to do in a real shoot-out... I'll carry either an AK, AR, or FAL, TYVM! A South Afrikan Street-Sweeper would be OK if firing from a vehicle too, I suppose..I'd like to see what your carry rig looks like with all those magazines.
Anyway, If that setup works for you then go with it.
Gun choices are a diversity I can celebrate
40-50 year's ago, there was a gun shop on the Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy.My suggestion is to go with a Browning A5, the first successful semi-auto shotgun made. Can't argue with the design and longevity!

Have never had b@lls but it seems to me that in a serious self defense situation unzipping and positioning b@lls on the wall would not be the optimal strategy. I'd suggest instead using the wall for cover, resting gun on the wall, or running away and saving b@lls for a better day....
Yes, I agree that if you're in a balls to the wall guns a-blazing war...
