Default Anybody like the Mossberg 930 HD 12 ga

I've been wanting to add a short tactical 12 ga to the collection and looked at a MOssberg 930 breacher with a heat shield offered for 500 in NJ. I walked away thinking I'm probably never going to breach a door with this but now I'm thinking, for 500 it wasn't a bad deal.
What would the smart guys do in this situation?
Wait to find a smooth barrel or get the breacher?
In reality this will probably only see soda can shooting duty but you never know in these trying times.

I purchased the short magazine model with the bbl breecher gizmo on the muzzle. I am certainly not an experienced semi-auto shootgun shooter, but there seemed to be an awful lot of fouling on the action parts after barely 20 rounds of buckshot/slugs.

Again, this is merely my perception. Sold it anyway.

I really like the JM versions. I had originally wanted the SPX but they were bought up as soon as they were available. I found a slightly used 26" barrel version at the LGS and added the Nordic Components tube and clamp. Holds 10 2 3/4" shells in the tube.
Compared to the 870 (the go-to HD shotgun)...

I have one of the breacher models. I added a Choate extended magazine tube. It shoots great, but it has not replaced my Rem 870 police as my go to defense shotgun. IMO the 930 is a good value for the money.

The quest for short 12 ga continues. LGS has what looks like could have been a demo for 500 but it's the breacher barrel and as much as I would like to blow the hinges off a door I really don't think it's practical. So the search is on for a smooth barrel.
So the question is, is the breacher barrel just a mall cop decoration or is there a good reason for the average casual, I need a shotgun because I don't have one guy, to go with a breacher?
