I've owned a number of gas guns ( Browning, Remington ) - but my semi-auto of choice is Benelli - with the comfort tech system in it. IMO - it cycles faster than the gas guns - and it shoots a lot cleaner than any of the gas guns - it also doesn't have the exhaust gases coming back into your eyes like a gas gun does.

They are more money than the gas guns / but they're worth it in my view. For sporting clays, skeet, some field shooting - the Benelli Super Sport is my choice - but in my area its retailing for about $ 1750 right now.

I think a Benelli is worth a look / if you don't want to spend that much - then any of the gas guns are about the same. Your buddy's gun jamming is probably because he isn't cleaning it every time he gets home from the range. Gas guns need regular maintenance, in my opinion - and I prefer to run them slightly on the "wet" side - cleaning and lubing them every time ( but I treat the Benelli the same way ) / I use Break Free for lube.
