For many years I used an Ithaca 37.Its not so much about the disconnectorless idea,I pull the trigger each time.
But,when the shotgun fired,my left hand came back with the recoil,then immediately my left hand went back to the target.I think this pump action actively returnsthe shotgun to target quicker than the more passive recoil recovery of a semi -auto.however.

Times change.My brother bought one of those black Bennellis.

I think the debate is over.

The Bennelli is fast.Shoot one.
