I've seen a few of them around...and they're getting good reviews.....but I don't own one.

The only semi-autos I have these days...are Benelli Super Sport models in 12ga and 20ga....which are both more Target guns ...or upland bird guns....but I like them both a lot ( 12ga in 30" barrel / 20ga in a 28" ).....recoil pads, comb pad both snap on and off easily - and optional pads are a little expensive ( about $ 85 ) ...but its a very versatile gun. I primarily use them as training guns for my grandkids...but I will shoot the 12ga myself...and I will use it as a "foul weather" gun or as a "travel gun" does a multiple of things pretty well...vs traveling with expensive Over Unders...
