Which Semiauto Shotgun?

Get the Beretta1201FP. I've had mine for about 5 years and it shot most everything I fed it except it got a little touchey with some of the reduced recoil loads. Benelli and Beretta are right across the street from each other or is it next door ...well they are pretty close to each other. I gather that the Beretta is basically a clone of the Benelli like the Bushmaster AR is to the Colt AR for about $300 to $500 dollars cheaper.

Just an observation. The M4 Super 90 that the Marines are using is different than the M1. The M4 has a gas system and is not recoil operated. The story is that with heavy sights like night vision optics that the recoil operation became flakey because the gun weighed so darn much. Perhaps adding weight to a Benelli is not always a good thing. I have owned three Remington autos and two Benelli M1s. The Benelli certainly weighs less and kicks harder both from the recoil operation and lighter weight. All of these guns have been perfectly reliable. I know the Benelli is cool, but I sold mine and now have a Remington 11-87 Police. Watch-Six
 
I handled the Benelli M4 at SHOT. I hated the stock. Damn it was uncomfortable. Other than that it looked like a nice gun. Put a regular stock on it and you would probably have the best of the Benelli world and the soft recoil of the Remington. (when we see them is anybodies guess).
