So I took a look at some shotguns after work today at some of the local stores. I was able to try out a Remington 870, a Mossberg 535, and a Benelli (can't remember the model name).

I really like the Mossberg it had a really nice feel and the features were more left hand friendly vs. the Remington and Benelli. What I liked about the Mossberg was that the saftey was on the top rather than the trigger guard, so it was easy to actuate when lifting the gun up to a shooting position. Also on the Mossberg the button that allows the pump to be actuated (can't remember the part name) was behind the trigger guard as opposed to in front, so it made it easier to actuate as well.

Unfortunately no one had the Browning BPS in stock but after looking at it online, the BPS had a lot of the features I liked about the Mossberg.

At least I was able to eliminate a few guns based on the features I've seen while handling the guns. I also looked at some inexpensive Over-Unders but I'm a little leery of buying one since I'm not sure of the quality. They were Turkish made but I can't remember the exact brand names. I think one was called Yildiz.
