Sub-gauge Semi-Auto Shotguns

[wtxbadger]

I"m looking for suggestions on a semi auto sub gauge shotgun. I jack to back hemorhh agic strokes back in March of 2025 and am finally recovered  rnough  to  dtart thinkingwhen I overing well enough to start thinkinga baout shooting clays and dove hunting.

Does anyons have any experience with a semi auto sub gauge in 28 or 410? My neurologist pithed a fit over my asking about shooting or hunting in the fearr [it could cause another stroke. ot really wanting to go through another stroke or recoery it is a definite concern and a sub gauge semi auto seems to me to be a good alternative with reduced recoil.Her husband shoots in matches with a 22 caliber something or other. She wasn't just real clear on what he shoots but is adamant about me avoiding recoil.






thoughts or suggetions would really be appreciated

I've owned Remington 1100 guns in all four skeet gauges of 12, 20, 28 and '410. All worked equally well and while maybe hard to find are guns I can recommend from long use of them. I no longer can shoot skeet so all of my skeet guns were sold.

The .410 is being loaded with some sort of super hard shot that is heavy and folks are using it for turkey hunting.

I can't comment on other brands from personal experience.
