Started driving a SP 10 in 93, then went to a M1 Super 90,the M1 was then replaced with an Extrema.

After dabbling with that for awhile I realized that I killed as many ducks/geese with the 12 ga. 3" loaded with appropriate shot/choke combo as I did with with the 10 or 3.5 twelve.

Running a Vinci now and spanked geese and ducks this year like never before. As with everything choke/shot placement/loads trump all.

As for reliability, the SP 10 doesn't even rate being in the conversation with the Benelli/Beretta offerings I've sampled.
