I had a Montrofeltro(sp?) 12ga that just absolutely kicked me like a mule----not a bad gun---just a bad fitting stock for me.

I've also had a 11-87(pre light contour) that was heaviest piece of artillery I've ever carried in the field----again not a bad gun---just not a good fit for me----this gun was slow and cumbersome for me to handle.

I've got a recoil operated Beretta(ES100) that seems a good fit for me now. But if I was in the market for a new autoloader---I'd be taking a real hard close look at the Beretta 391----they seem real lively in my hands when I pick them up in the store and the gas operation should cut the kick.
