Im new to the 930 after winning an auction on used field model for $300. I bought an 18.5" breacher from Mossberg and a Choate magazine extension. I figure I can do anything I need a shotgun for. 28" is a good field length, I can swap out barrels and change the mag spring in minutes and have an excellent HD gun. My 930 sits in my closet with the short barrel, extension tube with 6 loaded on an empty chamber. When I take it to the trap range it's a very quick change for field work. I probably wouldn't have gone this route if not for the deal I got on the gun, but I'm really happy I got it. I agree with 1 gun, many uses. Of course I have many guns, but I'm sick that way ; )
