They spotted a flock of goldeneye ducks and made a plan to get within range of the birds. The plan involved rounding a long spit of land in their skiff, then crossing the spit to come up on the ducks. Paul was running the outboard motor. As the skiff grounded on the beach, Frank jumped out to tie up the boat to an alder at the edge of the brush.
From page 124 of Salmon on My Mind:
I carried a Remington pump shotgun. Paul had a rusty, beat-up 30-40 Craig. He was running the motor. As the skiff’s bow ground on the beach, I jumped out, the painter in one hand, shotgun in the other. The tide was out and it was 50 feet to the nearest alder that I could that I could tie the bow line to.
As I walked up the beach, a bear tore out of the brush and came charging down the beach straight at me. Gravel sprayed from the bear’s feet. I’d never shot a bear before in my life, but I had been a hunter since age six, and I had always been handy with a gun. Without even thinking, or knowing what I was doing, I dropped the painter, flung up the gun, held back the trigger and worked the slide action until the firing pin went click, click, click.
The bear went down in a heap, its front legs spread-eagled. I reloaded, but the bear never moved. Paul was still in the skiff, his mouth hanging open. “I’ll be damned. I’ll be damned,” Paul repeated over and over.

Trip. Love those old Remis and Winnies that don’t have the pump safety. Just pull the trigger and rack and rack and rack...

Also the old Model 97 Winchester.
I’ve tried to explain to people that “just birdshot” will blow a huge hole in you if you’re up close.
Yes, my brother and I co-inherited our grandfather’s model 12. Ancient beast. Brother keeps it. Too big for home defense. I have a modified 870. Legally ‘shortened’ up. Barrel and pistol grip.
I was at the river the other day trying to use my index on the safety and middle on the trig...um no...

Being familiar with your weapon makes a huge difference when crunch time happens.
On the 870? Might be easier on a Winchester, with the safety in front of the trigger. That said, a pump in the hands of a duck hunter is pretty damn fast with conventional finger placement and muscle memory.
I have been shooting Model 12’s and 870s for close to six decades.
I do not find one safety to be better than the other.
It is just a matter of practicing with what one uses.
Thousands of repetitions taking the safety off as you bring to the shoulder.
Solves any problem of taking it off.
