Dave McC,

I agree about the semi-autos malfunctioning. That's why I stayed with the 870 so long. My point is that based on my experience, and several others I know, the M3S90 has proven to be as reliable as my old 870 was.

The M3 is a simpler action that the M1. I know it sounds like it should be more complicated but it really isn't. That's why I decided to buy the M3 when I had never considered the M1. And, there is a thumb actuated locking ring at the front of the forearm that must be deliberately released to turn the M3 into a pump. No chance of accidentally pumping it when it's in semiauto mode. One final benifit, for us old 870 shooters. The safety is in exactly the same position so all that training comes in handy.

Not trying to sell you on a Benelli. Just passing on my experience. If you prefer your 870, you're well armed. Enjoy!
