Mossberg 500 vs 930

I know the 930 is no Benelli M4 or Beretta/langdon 1301, but would you buy it over a 500 pump for serious social purposes? If not the 930, is there any semi-auto "budget" shotgun you'd trust?

My friend likes his 930 SPX a lot, the biggest issue the is feeding port (bottom) with the lifter you have to get it relieved/beveled or your thumbs will get wrecked, he has had no issues with any kind of load and even shoots clays with it (18" version). From that sample size of one, I could get behind it.

I have had many great years with a Remington Versa Max Tactical as well, they are set to release a new version soon (the older/LE only/SBS R12 remade). Versa Maxes go for about 700-800 so that might be in your budget but if you could wait I would look at the new V3 tactical, which is the old R12 that I have a friend that tested it for a major PD and had very positive thoughts on it:

V3 Tactical

I think both would be an improvement over a 500/590 but a 500/590 is still a great gun
