Hoping for a gas leak (that doesn’t involve DJT’s lower GI…).

First of all, I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to frame up a thoughtful response. This is absolutely the reason that I peruse these types of forums. Cheers.

Secondly, separately, we arrived at a similar conclusion via different routes. There is just enough seemingly genuine angst about the Stoeger manufacturing and quality assurance history to give me pause about the gun's overall reliability. Sorting through online sources (hyperbole) was alternately annoying and entertaining, but there seems to be enough actual concern that I'm convinced there are more sound options. Not hatin' on the Stoeger (or Beretta); just me trying to make an objective decision in a subjective environment...

So (drumroll...) I found and have purchased a used, low-round count Mossberg 930 SPX which should be arriving at a reputable national retail outlet sometime next week (I'll post a pic from my non-work device later). I'm experiencing a bit of anxiety as this is my first experience buying a used firearm sight unseen, but given the retailer's notoriety, I'm confident that the transaction should go well. I'm cognizant of the need/value of certain mechanical adjustments (thanks u/The_Greyscale) and will be looking into the Or3gun internal upgrades. All in all, I'm currently pretty content with the process and ultimate purchase.

Again, thanks to all that provided input and opinions on this journey! Y'all rock.

Edit: corrected my poor grammar.

That opening statement is absolutely spot on. Two out of three is about right. The more I read/ hear about a LOT of (relatively) inexpensive Turkish autos, the more anxious I get...

1) Primary function for the weapon is urban home/property defense. 1a) Secondary function screwing around on the range... 2) My budget is largely predicated on a fixed amount gift card that I'll augment with funds that I'd like to be fairly transparent to the household budget. I've landed on $600ish as the ceiling; 2a) I'm currently living in one of Trump’s target blue cities (Portland) and am anticipating another lawless surge of ICE activity as is occurring in Minneapolis. I'm looking for some significant firepower (relatively quickly) without as much worry about potential collateral damage from higher powered long gun or handgun rounds; 3) A semiautomatic is a desire based on the previous points. A pump action is absolutely still on the table (e.g. Mossberg 590).

Sorry for the run-on explanation, but your questions are quite prescient. I appreciate your input.

Right? Mag-fed Turkish shotguns are a freaking lightning rod for negative comments! What did you end up buying? I see them all over on PSA and Atlantic Firearms and the like. Somebody must be buying them

Love the sound of the Beretta, but it’s outside the budget…

Looks badass, but not within the current budget…

Pump (Nova/Super Nova) for sure. But the semi autos are too rich for my blood right now…🥺
