Your best bet for CQB with a 3-shot shotty is to use a mixture of different BB weights. Mix some .2, .25 and .28 randomly and load those into your shells. The different weights means the fixed hopups of each barrel will have different effects on each BB, giving you a wider spread. This gives you a far more "shotgun" effect at CQB ranges. This, however, tends to be less effective if using the shotty at longer ranges.
But to answer the OP's question, they are good guns, spring or not. They tend to be quite reliable due to their simple spring mechanisms, and are extremely effective for CQB. I've seen people essentially 'sniping' with single-shot shotguns outdoors, although the effectiveness is somewhat reduced.
