Try to hit 2 birds from the skeet houses with a pump. I think you will have your answer.

In 15-16 years of daily shooting 500 to 1000 rounds, I have never had a malfunction in practice or competition. Every five or six years I've taken it in to Perazzi and had them go through it. They are definitely reliable. All my guns have coil springs that also adds to their reliability.

I've shot 870's so much, I try to pump 1100's when I shoot them!
Pardon my ignorance (and let me assure you, I'm sure it's ignorance on my behalf...)
Why are over under shotguns so desired?
I use a Model 12 for skeet and average in the 23-24 range. It isn't that hard.Try to hit 2 birds from the skeet houses with a pump. I think you will have your answer.
I’ll agree with those who said you have to shoot one to understand.
I had always wanted an o/u based on looks and feel alone, but I only shot one recently. My wife and I and some uninitiated friends decided to shoot a few informal rounds of trap a couple of months ago.
The gun we rented was a beat up Browning Citori. Now I need one in my life. I hadn’t fired on a clay target in almost 10 years and I was somehow hitting more birds than I missed. It just pointed so naturally.
I’m in the presence of rebuilding my gun collection. This year my purchases are going to be utility guns (A 590A1 is next for me). After that, I’m going the delayed gratification route and saving up for a couple of “nicer” hunting/clays guns.
Then you'll want to look at Browning or the Beretta 686 series; both are quality entry-level O/Us that will last a long time. My Browning O/U is approaching 300,000 rounds through it. I had some springs replaced at 90,000; that's it.
