My two cents on the Benelli M1Super90.

Had one with ghost ring sights and assorted chokes. Used during a wide variety of tactical problems, I found it to be mostly reliable. And that was the problem. I thought it sensitive to hold and ammunition.
Got much worse with a side saddle, something the company was dead set against using.
I also learned that the LAPD SWAT uses 3 inch magnums and an on duty gun smith to insure reliability. A less then precise grip also resulted in stoppages.

All of that ceased to be a problem when I went to a Rem 870 w/ Vang Comp barrel. Now the major limitation is the human factor.

The Benelli is nicely built and priced, but for going in harms way at work, teaching others and being secure at home, I'll take the Vang Comp 870 every time.
