Interesting points, but I was also thinking of the adrenaline dump and/or freeze-up causing a person to forget to rack the slide. 

I don't get the satisfying 'chick-chick' until the second round.  An unloaded gun is slightly better than useless.

Thats where practice and muscle memory kick in. Same thing could happen with the safety if you keep one in the chamber.

I had buck fever once while carrying my .45-70.  Missed a 20 yard broadside shot with all 5 rounds.  Was embarrassing as hell because my buddies and I were walking to our stands, making all kinds of noise and heres this dumb 6 point staring at me.  I have been intimate with the "Adrenaline Dump" you speak of....lol

I've had the same experience.  I've also had the experience of realizing, later, that I had taken the safety off without even a thought.

check into the auto-pumps.  Benelli M4 or SPAS for instance.  I think there are a few more.

Same reason the USMC picked the M4 :  use it as an autoloader, then pump when it jams or using a low power load.

^^^^^^Interesting.  I've got all the shotguns I need for right now.  I'm looking at other facets of the collection, currently.

I'm looking at, in almost no order: AR-15/M4, Ruger 22/45, Ruger Vaquero, Something in .300 WinMag, Something in .30-.30 lever action...

Actually, that order is pretty close.  If McCain wins, the AR purchase can get put off for a few extra months.

My "3 guns" are:

Shotgun:  Rem 870 in 12 ga with a 20 inch barrel and ghost sights.  I have a TacStar side saddle on it, I love those.  Aluma-hyde finish, non-reflective.

Rifle:  Belgian FAL 50.63 rifle.  so-called paratrooper version with a short barrel (18" and folding stock).  I put a T28 type scope on it with the Tapco STANAG mount. 

Pistol:  Remington 870 AOW with a 12" barrel and pistol grip.  Just kidding.  But it does qualify as a pistol due to barrel length.

Actually, I'd have to say the Colt King Cobra in .357.  Never misfire, never miss.  it's a tack driver. That or the CZ85 in 9mm.  Both are stunning weapons.  The CZ is the original military version with no pin safety.

I chose weapons where ammo is either widely available or that the invading UN troops will have.

Which is why I am now adding a 9-mm to my list of future acquisitions.  Thanks, 'tizzz [bang]

AHA!  I can say it's for the wife!  That's it.  "Honey, I bought you a pistol."  [thumbsup]

nothing wrong with the Parabellum

cheap ammo, decent kill potential

at the end of the day, if you can land a double-tap to the forehead, you don't need to worry about what caliber it was.

I like to keep my gun cabinet simple
SBR registered AR15 lower with the fun switch and 5.56 and 6.8 caliber uppers in different lengths and a couple good quality suppressors (in the interests of paying the mortgage and keeping food on the table probably have to delete the fun switch)
870 with extended tube, compensated barrel and oversized safety
SA Loaded 1911 in stainless with ambi safety and a Marvel .22 conversion upper
 
2002 RC51 Sato exhaust, Power Commander, Ohlins suspension, Moriwaki rear shock link, stainless brake lines, 1/6th turn throttle, 42 tooth rear sprocket, OSF rearsets, road rashed fairings.
