12GA is pretty similar. You should be able to get a perfectly useful model for under $400. Mossbergs have been around forever. My family used a .410 mossberg for 25 years without cleaning it and it still worked fine. I finally broke it down and there was hay and dead bugs and some goo that was probably the factory grease up in there, and the bore was 1/2 inch narrower with residue, but it still worked fine.
Otherwise, the Remington 870 is probably the most trusted and common 12GA out there, and is also available for under $400.
I'll probably be picking up a 12GA next, and will probably end up with this:
Remington 887 NITROMAG
If the KSG still isn't readily available:

I am still considering the stockless mossberg 500 series:
But we tried one out during our last gun retreat, and without the hand strap on the fore end, every one of us had the gun kick out of our front hand. So I held it like a pistol and fired it a couple times. Worked better, but you'll look ridiculous shooting someone.
