Since this will be your first shotgun, you probably are not aware of the importance of fit. Since you don't aim shotgun , like you aim a rifle, it is very important that a shotgun fits you, so it is pointed, where you are looking. The Browning /Winchester shotguns fit much different than the Beretta shotguns, so if one fits, the other won't. Gas operated shotguns do recoil less than recoil operated guns, but do require cleaning more often, although not as often as some people would have you believe. I only own one semi auto shotgun, and I don't use 3-1/2" loads, even though the gun will handle them, because they just aren't required. I owned an A400, a SE2, and an SX-3, and I kept the SX-3, because it fit me best, all three are reliable shotguns that will last a lifetime.
