i can imagine.
Never had that problem, but I understand that having the choke threads not centered can cause that,
What's the difference?

I have a Benelli 1014 version of the M4. It is approaching 25,000 rounds. The only failure so far has been an aftermarket charging handle. My wife shoots a Breda copy of the Benelli M2. It is closing in on 10,000 rounds, no problems so far.
Barrel Regulation is as much an Art as it is a Science--FWIW, ANYBODY can put out a Lemon in that department once in a while--One of the best American-style Trapshooters in the country changed equipment several years ago when Perazzi would NOT correct the obviously-faulty regulation of his new, high-dollar Trap Combo under warranty...
As far as reasonably-priced Over/Unders go, the Japanese-made Browning Citoris seem to be most consistent as far as having correct barrel regulation out of the box, with the 600-series Berettas generally pretty good, but ol' Pietro, et.al. put out the occasional STINKER in that regard and getting them to fix it is like pulling Hen's teeth...
I have had four or five Remington 3200's over the years, and their Barrel Regulation was spot-on, as were the three or four older Winchester 101's I've had. 'Course, the several Citoris I've had were good in that regard, as were the two Beretta 680-series O/U's I've owned--Can't speak to anything more expensive, as I've never owned a K-Gun or Perazzi--Never saw the need, frankly, as my 3200's and 1100's got me an All-America Team Patch, several All-State Team Patches and a coupla' placements on the year-end High Average Leader list over the years...
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but there is NOTHING more VERSATILE than a GOOD Shotgun...
If you ever patterned any of the .410 "Defense Loads" that are available, you would never consider a Judge/Governor/Terminator/whatever else they call 'em--Purely a MARKETING GIMMICK IMO, albeit a pretty successful one...
As regard to home defense, I consider a handgun to be a temporary measure until I can get to one of my shotguns. At the distances in a home situation, nothing at all has the defensive value of a shotgun in the hands of someone reasonably trained in it's use.
Me, too! All those .45 Colt/.410 Handguns throw very "Open" patterns even very close to the muzzle, the projos are moving Sloowww and don't have much energy or penetration, just not very effective IMO...
