As a shotgun aficionado, as you can see by my screen name, I would tend to agree. I purchased it for my wife after I took a job that required I be out of town 4 days each week. She can easily handle it and bring it up quick, as opposed to my Berretta or Binelli 12 gauges.
This is at one end of the house. A Mossberg 930 in 12g will meet an uninvited intruder at the other end of the house.
