In my opinion there are only two choices in the semi-auto offerings to consider. Yes I realize I just pissed off half the readers because their brand will not be mentioned. If you want a flawless repeater and are not bothered by any amount of recoil, buy the Benelli. If you want a slightly softer recoiling semi-auto shotgun with the same level of functional reliability, buy the Beretta. And yes I have both and have shot many others. Most of my family started out shooting the Beretta semi-autos in competition. My in-laws mainly picked the Benelli for hunting. Flame on. .
