As far as semi’s I’ve had occasional issues with them but never a pump. I use my Beretta SA for trap, skeet and bird hunting but not when a bear is coming at me in full change mode. I’ll stick to my 870. To each his own.

Ok, I can understand the point of dealing with a wounded bear.
And, I'm not saying one is better than the other (pump - auto), I'm just posting my experience. But I do think I can put more rounds on target in less time with the auto.
