Can't believe I hadn't seen this poll,  either. I voted for pumpers as in what I would want if I could only  have one shotgun. Basically, I like any shotgun I can hit with.

Learned  to shoot with a Fox SxS 20 gauge. I first broke 15 clay birds at the  trap range with a Browning Auto5 in 12 gauge. The first shotgun that was  officially "mine" was an Ithaca 37 in 12 gauge and still have and shoot  it. I love my Dad's  Winchester/Miroku Model 101 O/U. That was the first gun that just seemed  to jump to my shoulder without thinking. Got a great deal on a semi-auto Beretta 3901 in 20 gauge because they stopped making them. Got it to teach my kids. For those concerned about learning to "spray and pray" with a semi, I just give them one round for each clay bird.

I guess I just like shotguns. So much so, in fact, that I've chosen my last 3 center fire rifles because they handle like shotguns. So many shotguns, so little time and money, but I'm not dead yet.
