Had an SBE, sold it when I bought an Anniversary Edition SBE II (both 12’s). Bought a Franchi Affinity 20g, and sold it after picking up a Benelli M2 20g off here. They fit me well, and I shoot em well - never have had any issues.

Have been shooting a Benelli Ethos 3" 12 since they were introduced in 2015, and have yet to have it malfunction, whether in hot, dry weather or below-zero snow, no matter the ammo.

The Super Vinci is such a radical design. I noticed that when a hunting buddy recovered his after being submerged in the marsh for three days. Took it apart, cleaned the barrel, shook the water out of the action and added some oil, then fired three shots. You've never seen a happier guy.

I use an original SBE in Darth Vader black, bought it new in the early 2000's. It works good enough for me.

I got my Super 90 M-1 in 1997 and it has never failed me. I have used it ever year to kill hundreds of dove. It has been my main gun for quail and pheasant and I usually take a few ducks and rabbits each year. I kill a turkey with it each year and have used it to kill one deer. I have no idea of the number of shotgun shells I have fired over the life of the gun, but the count must be around 10,000.

Probably the best auto ever made. I own several. Never had an issue with any of them. Personal favorite is the Ultralight 28 ga but usually grab the 20 ga supersport or SBEII for ducks.

Had an SBEII for about 10 years. Sent it down the road when Beretta came out with the A400. That kick off is nice. Cycles VERY fast when needed. I also have a AT390 - I would pit THAT gun up as the best semi-auto ever made. Just a pleasure to shoot.
