It's heavy, but built like a tank.
Do you have a problem with the Remington 870 or do you think it's comparable to the Moss 500?
As far as the pistol, my main concern is reliability and backup. Ideally, it never comes out unless one of my other weapons jams. For example, the semi auto shotgun I was using last time jammed twice in 50 rounds. I was kind of upset by that. I didn't like those odds.
That is the issue with Semi-Auto shotguns, failure to feed. You usually can't use reduced recoil shells in them and typically target shells are reduced recoil.
Based on your criteria I'd say look for something in a .30-06.
