Working up to my first shotgun purchase, and in my quest for rock-solid reliability, have heard Benelli semiautos to be highly recommended among autos. After much reading and research I still have a couple questions:
1) What's the difference between regular M1/M3/M4 and the Super 90 variety? I'm guessing reinforced chamber or something similar, but can't find a definitive answer. Should I aim to buy a Super 90 variant?
2) How is recoil as compared to pumps? I've seen a couple negative comments regarding the kick on a Benelli - I've always assumed recoil was something along the lines of: pump (Rem 870) > inertia (M1/M3) > gas (M4/Rem 1100).
3) Still trying to decide which Benelli to get. M3 to pump if needed? Don't worry about it and get an M1? Or spend the bucks for soft recoil with the M4?
Thanks for the input.
