I currently have a Benelli M1 shotgun that I bought a couple years ago from a 3 gun shooter. He said it had been completely gone through and was full of upgrades. What upgrades I have no idea, I'm not that into shotguns but, at the time, I had some extra cash and I knew the M1's were good guns so I bought it.
I've taken it to the range once since then to make sure it ran well and I have to admit it was a very sweet gun. It ran perfectly and I was extremely impressed with my new purchase. However, recently I've started thinking maybe I need something that was more of a multi-tasker. Something I could use primarily as a tactical home defense gun but still be able to swap out barrels and whatnot to use for hunting purposes. My problem so far is, I love my M1, I really really love it. Not only does it shoot very well, it looks very cool doing it lol. Seriously, it's one of those guns I don't really need but can't make myself sell.
So I'm hoping y'all can give me some suggestions for a replacement (semi-auto please, I don't care for pump shotguns) that is as bad a$$ as the M1 as a tactical home defense shotgun and yet can easily be changed into something for dove hunting one day, duck the next and turkeys the day after (I'm exaggerating but you get the picture). I figure if I can find something to fill that role it'll make it easier to sell or trade the M1.
I know there's a few shotgun experts floating around here so any suggestions from them or anyone actually would be greatly appreciated.
