i wouldnt be racking no shotgun, its already loaded and ready to go. too much hollywood in " racking a shotgun " or the slide on a pistol.

I would argue that racking a shotgun is one of the most recognizable sounds in the world. Its the universal, language barrier be damned, sound for "Sh*t just got real!"

The sound of a pistol slide loading a round....meh.

I don't WANT my enemies/home invaders to hear me, and the soft little *click,* of the safety coming off my loaded weapon...

My Sig stays real close, loaded and chambered. I have to agree with jantrit though, there's absolutely no mistaking a pump action shotgun chambering a round, a very clear message to an intruder... game over.
