Considering a 930
I've been wanting a short shotgun for a while for clays and possibly bird hunting. My Dad has a an old 500 20ga for as long as I can remember so I've been looking for something similar to it. I do own a Remington 870 express 12ga with 28" barrel, but I think a 20ga would be better for long clay shooting sessions.
Today I was looking in walmart and found a 930 5-shot special purpose with the flash hider. I know it is a 12ga, but being an auto, I thought the recoil might be lessened and thought I would ask for your input on the matter.
It is a good feeling piece and it kinda goes with my 464 SPX.

Did it look like this one?
The buffer system takes a bit of the bite off compared to a pump, but it still thumps pretty good. I use this one for put'n slugs down range, so I can't comment on bustin clays with it...

Yes, exactly like that. Price is $495. That a good deal?

Re: Considering a 930
That is a pretty good deal, I wouldn't sleep on it.
I use the precision-fit limbsaver recoil pad on my 930 and put 90 full power slugs down range through the 930 in about an hour and a half on my last visit...

Re: Considering a 930
You're probably going to want a longer barrel for clays. I know I would. The longer barrel allows for a nicer, balanced swinging shotgun.

salient 930 questions
so i noticed in this month ( well now last months) issue of recoil magazine the salient 930 was in their. I have no question that what they do makes the guns better, but i do have questions maybe some of you can help me.
they open the "loading area?magwell" area where the lifter is at, not sure if they cut it wider but they do make it longer, why ? it looks like they cut the "feed ramp" before the magazine tube almost completely out, i dont see how this is taking a step forward as they now have to make the lifter longer (and they do btw)
they also look like they round the edges around the loading area as well, how would this help out ?
do any of you feel the lifter being polished helps in any way with loading ?

Re: salient 930 questions
These mods more for competition guns.
They are intended to facilitate faster reloads. The extended lifter and the rounded edges reduce wear and tear on the shooters thumbs. One of our members "RippSpeed" has performed his own version of this on his 930 JM Pro for competition...
My latest acquisition... 24" JM Pro 10 + 1 Pistol Grip

Re: salient 930 questions
It's too bad OFM doesn't read our foum to see what members can do to make "their" shotguns even more awsome! If they marketed these type of improvements, they would have a whole new class of competion type SG's. Simple mods for the factory that would improve the entire line.

Re: salient 930 questions
Yup, that would be nice.
Seems though that they're too busy 'zombifying' lever actions and putting Barrett muzzle brakes on everything from 500s to .17hmr rifles...

Re: 930 spx elevator
You'll get used to it.
I used to jam my thumb in it a lot too. After enough reps you figure the best way to position your thumb.

Re: 930 spx elevator
Changing technique is the easiest solution. I've smoothed out the sharp edges on the lifter which seems to help a bit. Or do what 3 gun guys are doing and open up the loading port, similar to the Jerry Miculek version, and/or get the lifter welded to a one piece smooth ramp:
