6 Best Semi-Auto Tactical Shotguns For those who have been delving into the world
of firearms, both pump-action and break-action shotguns are no longer strangers to them.
However, that's not always the case with semi-automatic shotguns.
As for me, there are only a few firearms out there that can match the sleek, precise performance
of a semi-automatic shotgun.
It has an unexplainable finesse, despite being an ultra-lethal weapon.
The gun is not used for recreation; it is for assault, combat, and personal protection.
Hence, it is a great self-defense utility that you should keep in your home.
In fact, the quality of a semi-automatic shotgun is well-recognized that it has been featured
in numerous movies such as John Wick 2.
While it is true that the limited capacity of this gun is still an issue, it is still
a powerful beast for tackling enemies.

Stoeger Industries 3000 M3K Let's start this list with the Stoeger Industries
3000 M3K.
The latter is an affordable counterpart for the Benelli M2 and Remington Versa Max.
It is an ideal shotgun for beginners who want to experience a powerful semi-auto.
The Stoeger M3K is a 12-gauge shotgun that features an extended bolt release.
It has a beveled loading port, as well, while boasting a 10+1 capacity due to its extended
barrel and magazine tube.
This shotgun is also tapped and drilled to accommodate a Weaver optic rail.
Moreover, it has a fast reload time, which enables you to use it for home defense and
competitions.
Try loading the Stoeger M3K with some powerful slugs, and it can become a strong firearm
for hunting hogs.
If you break its shot, you can hunt turkeys with this shotgun as well.
Furthermore, you can also use it in a 3 Gun competition.
5.
Weatherby SA-08 Deluxe The Weatherby SA-08 Deluxe is a Turkish-made
semi-auto shotgun.
It uses a gas operating system and is available in 12, 20, and 28-gauge models.
This shotgun is an excellent option if you are looking for a mid-range autoloader.
Aside from being a dependable arsenal, it is also fun to use it.
Of course, you can also utilize this weapon for home defense.
The Weatherby SA-08 Deluxe is known for its affordable price.
It is darling in the entry-level market, as a matter of fact.
But aside from its inexpensiveness, this shotgun is also lovable because of its classy appearance
and lightweight construction.
Depending on the gauge, the Weatherby SA-08 Deluxe may only weigh from 5.5 pounds to 6
pounds.
Because of this feat, this shotgun is a favorite arsenal of clay pigeon hunters and waterfowl
enthusiasts.
I can always attest that it is not easy to find a shotgun that is less than a thousand
bucks that looks as good as the SA-08 Deluxe.
It may even change your mind about Turkish firearms in general!
4.
Tavor TS-12 One of my favorite semi-auto shotguns is the
Tavor TS-12.
It has a modern design and construction, enabling it to deliver more lethal power to help you
defend your premises.
But at the same time, there's no denying that this weapon is meant for tactical applications.
Its appearance alone gives off the vibe that it is really meant for military uses.
Right from the get-go, the Tavor TS-12 gives you fifteen shells to fire against your enemies--five
in each of its three tubes.
Just rotate the empty tube so that another one will be attached to the chamber.
By this time, you are ready to fire again.
If you are going to use mini shells, it is quite possible for this shotgun to give you
up to 15 rounds of pure firing power.
However, one of the biggest issues of this gun is when it is empty of ammo.
Since its mag is fixed and can't be switched, you'll never be able to reload it with a full
mag.
There's a loading tube on its rear where you can load one ammo to fire.
But that's just it.
After all the rounds, you have no way to refill it again.
If you think that 25 rounds are not enough for home defense, you might need to step away
from the Tavor TS-12.
Its operating system is also quite complex, which could make things a little tense.
Meanwhile, its 18.5-inch barrel is equipped with a full Picatinny rail for scopes and
sights.
You can also load one tube with slugs and the other with buckshot.
The Tavor TS-12 has the versatility that other semi-auto shotguns don't have.
But then again, its complexity might be too much for you.
3.
Kalashnikov KS-12T Shotgun It is not easy to find Kalashnikov shotguns,
given that an import ban is placed on them.
Fortunately, the Kalashnikov USA is gradually fixing this problem.
Because of this, you can now get the Kalashnikov KS-12T Shotgun through various gun brokers
online.
Specifically, the Kalashnikov KS-12T Shotgun is an upgraded version of the classic AK-47
design.
It comes with a collapsible type of AR-15 stock, an impressive pistol grip, and a set
of Picatinny rails.
Meanwhile, the iconic lever-action safety of the gun is still there.
If you equip it with a red dot sight and high-power shotgun ammo, the Kalashnikov KS-12T Shotgun
can become a potent combat weapon.
You can load it with ten rounds, making it a high-capacity semi-auto shotgun.
Once empty, you can get a new mag and start shooting again.
And this process only takes for only a few seconds.
Of course, this gun uses a gas operating system to maintain its stability and performance.
You are also free to use Saiga drums and mags on the Kalashnikov KS-12T Shotgun.
It will enable you to further optimize the combat prowess of this home-defense arsenal.
Technically speaking, the power and quality of this shotgun are almost unrivaled.
2.
Mossberg 930 SPX Tactical The Mossberg 930 SPX Tactical is a superb
option for a home-defense arsenal.
It is capable of holding 8+1 shells, which is pretty fantastic indeed.
Moreover, it comes with a cylinder choke bore in an 18.5 inches barrel.
Similar to other semi-auto shotguns here, the Mossberg 930 SPX Tactical is highly functional
and reliable, thanks to its gas operating system.
However, let me emphasize that it has some issues with cycling low-brass shells.
I only recommend that you use high-brass loads on this shotgun, such as the Federal Power
Shok and Winchester Super-X.
Since this is a tactical shotgun, you will be able to operate this gun smoothly, even
in intense and high-pressure situations.
The gun comes with a pistol grip, which is needed for maneuvering it steadily.
Its control is pretty large as well, especially the bolt release and charging handle.
Interestingly, the charging handle and bolt release button of the Mossberg 930 SPX Tactical
are both rugged.
Its knurled handle isn't awkward either; it has been designed so that users can grip it
steadily.
Furthermore, this shotgun also sports a Picatinny rail on its receiver, enabling you to mount
whatever optic you want to install on it.
Meanwhile, its ghost ring sights have a nice construction.
Fresh from the box, you can really say that this gun is ready for lethal action.
1.
Benelli M4 Tactical The Benelli M4 Tactical is an obvious top-notch
choice here.
There's no arguing about it.
Of course, many would say that there are better tactical semi-auto shotguns than this one.
But for a tested-and-tried performance, nothing can match the lethality of the Benelli M4.
There are many things that make the Benelli M4 Tactical a legendary firearm.
It has prestigious engineering with a long history of military use.
It is not a secret that this is the issued shotgun for the U.S. Marne M1014 Joint Service.
It has been used in military operations throughout the six continents, which is downright astounding.
Most Benelli guns are popular for their inertia-based operating system.
However, the Benelli M4 presents a different approach.
Specifically, it uses an auto-regulating gas operating system.
Of course, the ARGO system is clean and reliable.
Throughout prolonged use, the gun benefits from it.
Since the Benelli M4 Tactical is presented as a combat shotgun, it is just right that
it comes with all the essential accessories.
It comes with optics mounts and ghost ring adjustable sights.
The gun weighs around 7.8 pounds and has a length of roughly 40 inches.
All of its controls are placed where you want it to be, while the cross-bolt safety remains
to be accessible.
Others say that its bolt release is somewhat small.
But for me, that's alright.
When it comes to ergonomics, the M4 Benelli is pretty fantastic.
Its over-molded grip feels burly and rugged, which is necessary for holding heavy loads.
And that completes our list.
