Hey everyone. I am potentially going to buy a 935 on Friday and I would like your honest opinion(s) on it. Good bad and otherwise. I will be using it in the duck blind shooting decoying ducks and passing ducks out to 40 yards. Will also be using it in the goose pit and a little bit of partridge hunting. Thank you in advance.

For the first 2 uses it works well, I have one that patterned nicely with BB Blackcloud in 3.5" and was heavy enough to absorb some of the recoil. Mine happened to cycle heavy 23\4" shells ( think 11/4 oz high brass) but many do not and using 3" shells for upland is way overkill.
 
My son has the 935 it's a bit of a beast to carry around. But great for waterfowl, Turkey and coyotes. It will cycle heavy 2 3/4" loads. But not with low brass field/trap loads. If the majority of your hunting is waterfowl get the 935 ....if more for grouse I'd go with the 930.

Or you could get a second field gun for grouse.......lol just saying!
 
I have one that I only use for turkey with short barrel. tried to cycle 2 3/4" low brass field loads and it wouldn't do it. you might be better off with a 930 for what you want it for.
 
I could basically just cut/paste the answers from above. I have a 930 and it handles low power 2-3/4" loads no problem shooting clays or hunting, but duck hunting is a once in a while thing for me, so 3" is more than enough.

If you're going to mainly going for goose and want the 3.5", then the 935 is the gun for you, but you might need a bit heavier load to cycle it for the occasional partridge hunt, which is a bit of overkill.

FWIW, I prefer 20ga for grouse, so if I did a lot of goose hunting I would likely get the 935, and either a single shot 20ga, or something else for the odd grouse hunt.
 
The 935 is a great gun and highly recommend it. I've written a ton of reviews on the 935 if you care to go back and search for them. If you dont plan on using 3.5" shells, no need to get the 935 as the 930 will be just as good. My 935 has zero issues cycling 2 3/4" shells, including target loads. If you decide to buy the 935, expect there to be a break in period. When you take the gun out of the box, break it down completely and clean each component thoroughly. When you have it complety clean, clean it again just to be sure! There is a ton of packing grease that you need to take off to ensure proper operation. Once you are happy that its completely clean, oil all the components with Breakfree CLP and reassemble. Then all you need to do is shoot the hell out of the gun. The gun will be broken in within approximately 50 shots. I broke in my gun with 2 3/4" target loads. When it started feeding those consistantly, I knew the gun was ready to rock
 
Love mine. Wouldn't hunt upland with it, too heavy to pack around all day. Great waterfowl gun. Mine cycle's even the cheapest 2 3/4" trap loads just fine with never a jam. Have to take the barrel off and clean all the crud that builds up on the outside of the magazine tube after each trip out, a couple drops of oil but not too much. Just follow the owners manual instructions.

To add, I think I paid about 635.00 for mine, not sure what they're worth now; but I remember thinking that's a heck of a bargain for what I was getting compared to others much more expensive. If I was doing it again I'd buy the same gun.
