"The only semi-automatic shotgun in the world that opens up like a side-by-side gun. The location of the magazine in the stock ensures perfect balance of the gun."
The prototype built in 1925 still works.

Browning Auto-5. They were in production 98 years and thousands are still going strong. Who else has done that?
Anybody make a semiauto this nice? 
You know, a double-deluxe-I've-got-way-too-much-money gun. I suppose Cosmi does.
But this was a gift to an American engineer in India.

Lots of fine auto loading shotguns out there. For lots of different prices. In my zone I am extremely fond of the Remington 1100.

Best. Yes....what about parameters? They've been asked for a couple of times and have not been forthcoming.
Most people who ask "best" questions seem to have a limited understanding of what is actually involved in an accurate answer. Asking "what is the best semi-auto that you have ever used?" is one thing. Asking "who makes the best semiauto shotgun ? " is quite another. An accurate answer would require the respondee to have used ALL semi-autos currently produced in order to know which one or which manufacturer is best. Even then parameters would be needed.
