so your saying that i should have have to hold the pump arm forward to have to shoot:rediculous, when i pick up my gun to shoot at waterfowl i should not have to worry if im holding the pump enough so it will shoot. i have been hunting for 32 years with pumps and semi and i can honestly tell you that i have never had to hold an action closed to fire.take a supernova apart and you will see that the pump relrase latch does not hold the bolt assembly forward enough to ensure a proper firing pin strike,thus the 1/8 of an inch difference . 1/8 on a firing pin not striking is just not acceptable not to mention dangerous . so, benelli, simply perfect: i think not will be exchanging the gun for something reliable. oh and benelli customer service worst ever.i have been waing for a call back for 5 weeks now and when i call i get "he has recieved your message sir and will call" f#$@% bull$%^&. benelli simply selling that`s it
