My 'review'. I have had 100% reliability so far, although not a huge amount of ammo to date. High brass loads run in semi automatic perfectly, 1oz Winchester skeet ammo has required switching to pump action. That may change as it breaks in, but really that doesn't matter as that's what the pump action is for. I found the locking system for the forearm to be tight to begin with, but became easier with use. Compared to 'regular' Benelli inertia shogun's that use the recoil spring in the stock, this cycles slightly faster, with similar to perhaps slightly better recoil reduction. You don't 'feel' the action moving the same as you do in regular inertia shotguns. I wouldn't compare this to many other/any shotguns, it is unique in that no other dual action shotgun is available in Canada. The M3 is for those who have many shotguns and want this unique action in particular, and also for those who want something that has the rock solid backup of pump. It does neither better than a single mode shotgun, but no other shotgun does both. To compare it to an M4 or a 1301, those are better. But they also cost more than twice as much, so how can you compare them? Compared to a M4 knockoff, I would put this as equal quality to the best of those, but with a different manual of arms. My most serious complaint is the same that I have with a lot of other tactical shotguns, I hate rifle sights on a shotgun. If I need slugs, I use a rifle. IMO shotguns are for shot, be it buck or bird, and I want a bead sight or a vent rib. That is a matter of taste however. Same with pistol grips on shotguns, hate them. If someone else likes them, more power to them. I highly recommend this shotgun to those who know what it is, how unique it is, and it's strengths and weaknesses. If it's your first or only shotgun, maybe start somewhere else.
