Assuming excellent shotgun fit (a subjective matter) and excellent reliability with the loads I use (a given), the two most important attributes of a semi-auto to me are . . .

Dr Duk, I thought the single most important factor for you was that it must say Beretta on it?Dr Duk said:A really important factor for me is an adjustable stock for fitting!!!
Beretta gives me 15 mm af adj for drop.
I was under the impression that you could afford a professional stock fitting or custom stocks rather than shim-playing.Dr Duk said:A really important factor for me is an adjustable stock for fitting!!!

Are you just too lazy to do your own poll?Dr Duk said:Advertising research for Randy???
Yes! I'm too busy shooting my Berettas. :shock:RandyWakeman said:Are you just too lazy to do your own poll?Dr Duk said:Advertising research for Randy???

QFT. Fit shouldn't be a 'given', as not all of us can mount every shotgun on earth to find out what fits (and other than nuances like grip size and palm swell, virtually every modern, non-youth, non-female SA has roughly the same 1.5" DAC and ~14.5" LOP anyway).Dr Duk said:A really important factor for me is an adjustable stock for fitting!!
They will ALL screw up!Curly N said:Reliability while desirable is never a given with a Semi-Auto. I have yet to see one that would never screw up in some manner sooner or later.
I would not at all be surprised if there`s more than a small amount of truth in that statement.dogchaser37 said:Yup semi autos FTC, but if you do the maintenance the amount of times a semi messes up will not matter.
Nothing mechanical is fool proof. I have seen O/U's mess up too.
The difference is when my SA has a FTC I clear the round and go back to shooting the O/U's end up back in the trunk and you have to get your backup gun out.
Had it happen.
I have been shooting SA's since 1981. Can't say that I have ever had enough problems with them to make a difference. I love my O/U's too so I am really not biased for or against either type of action.
They all need to be taken care of, but SA's just need a bit more regular maintenance to make their actions a non-factor.
The biggest problem with MOST SA's are the people that own them, they either don't take care of them or try to feed their SA crap ammo.
Bingo! Added to that, they don't actually know how a particular gun works.dogchaser37 said:Yup semi autos FTC, but if you do the maintenance the amount of times a semi messes up will not matter.
