I am happy with my FN SLP. I shot the Versamax as well. They are both good guns. The FN has some trouble cycling lighter loads. It does fine with slugs and 00 Buckshot.

Here is my take. I owed a Benelli M4 and it was a hell of a gun, just a beast. That was the problem. It always felt heavy so I sold it and bought the 1301. It is a great gun as well and does what I need it to do.

For hunting I use:

Benelli Ethos-12g (Pheasants)
Beretta A400 Extreme-12g(Turkey/Waterfowl)
Benelli Legacy-20g (Doves/Rabbits)
Franchi Affinity 3 Compact-20g(I use this for everything when weight/mobility is a priority)

For tactical use:

Benelli M1 Super 90

Browning (Maxus, Gold, and Silver)
Benelli (Supersport)
Beretta (A400 Xcel)
Winchester
Remington
Breda
JP Sauer & Sohn
Franchi


I've stopped counting.

The Franchi Affinity is a good way to get into a quality Italian made shotgun, without the high price tag of a Benelli or Beretta.

Are the Benellis and Berettas better? Probably so. But are they twice as good? I have my doubts.

I have a number of Benelli shotguns, I view them like I did SIG pistols. That's to NEVER buy them new.



(I say that then realize I've bought 2 new Benelli, but the more expensive one was $700)

Which Holosun? And how do you like it? Need a dot for my FN SLP.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

These are well known for their spotty reliability. Some work right out of the box, some work right after some tinkering, and some never work right.

You basically have to roll the dice and hope you get a good one.
