My two cents only because I am a 28 gauge junkie and own way more than I should , but the bps 28 gauge is a quite a bit heavier than say the wingmaster or the new Ithaca out of Sandusky. I own all three and I absolutely love the Ithaca as far as the pumps go.
As far as semi autos go 1100 sporting , franchi al48 or benneli ethos it’s hard to beat the al48 or the ethos in the field.
