Inertia vs gas operated

There's no doubt that inertia or recoil operated kick a little harder. In years past I would say that recoil operated guns (browning A-5, Rem. 11-48) were more reliable than their gas counterparts. These days I beleive the beretta is just as reliable as the Benelli with less recoil.
 
Now Zippy - "form follows function", and while not every Italian designer is a
Pininfarina, they usually follow that tenet. Remember, this is the field version. I'll be interested to see what the target version looks like
 
OK, someone had too much Chianti at lunch that day.....:D

Actually, though, it really didn't feel too awkward when I shot it - amazing how light and fast it is
 
Wow! alot of info, makes....

me glad I just got a 1970 edition 12ga Mag A5.

Alway wondered why the used rack @ cabelas was overloaded with Benelli's & Berrette's and the listed A5's show honest work character.
 
I have an Xplor without the kickoff and it has almost no felt recoil, eats everything even limp wristed and feels incredible to shoot. The benelli guns beat the hell out of you when you shoot more than 5 rounds of of them. The Xplor is easy to clean and is a championship quality shotgun.
