This is a great semi-auto. There's a reason why this is the only semi-auto that my gun range rents. This gun was recently rated the #2 overall gun for duck hunting and the #1 semi-auto (the #1 was the 870 because of longevity and price). The only drawback (if it matters to you) is that it has a longer LOP then other semi-autos in it's price range. However Beretta can be easily adjusted. I believe this gun to be the best sub $1000 semi-auto in the market.
