I prefer pumps simply because of the reliability.
Then a nice double gun - either SxS or O/U with two triggers is even better

OK, I'll bite. When would you shoot a shotgun from the prone position?
OK, deer hunting could conceivably call for a prone shot. Unlikely, but possible.Or possibly, When Deer or Turkey hunting.
We buy them because we like them and prefer shooting them, not to deal with a particular shot that you may never have to take. That would be silly.In either event, I can't see buying a gas semi just to deal with it.
Lets say you are walking down a grassy draw on your way back to the truck after an unsucessful morning. Just over the hill to your left, you hear a loud gobble, it sounds incredibly close. You belly crawl to the top of the draw and are astonished to see a gobbler in full strut not more than 35 yards away. He's entertaining a hen about five yards from the treeline, their focus is on each other and they haven't seen you or they would obviously be gone. Do you try to roll into a sitting position or do you take the shot prone?Turkey hunting, no way. Sitting, yes, prone, no.

For the recoil sensitive, the semi-auto helps you get in to a bigger gun or shoot longer without taking a beating.
I had an opportunity to shoot a "Sweet Sixteen" a few years ago. I really liked it even though I'm not a big fan of the Auto-5, it handled very nicely. But with full power 1 1/8 oz pheasant loads, It wasn't for the recoil sensitive either. I too, will someday own one. also welcome to The High RoadI've owned a few since then (11-87, SA-08, Beretta A390) and have an eye on a Sweet Sixteen
so you have to use ammo that will operate the gas/recoil/etc system.
My 1100 and 1187 both cycle that ammo reliably, it's good ammo for the price.My standard practice round is the Federal bulk packs (100 rounds) from Walmart.
