I currently shoot a Browning Gold Hunter 3" Auto with a 28" barrel. She's off to the gun dipping shop soon to get camoed. I have a friend that is looking to sell a Benelli M1 3" Auto with a 26" barrel. He's giving me a good price and I'm interested in getting another auto shotgun. If it beats the performance of my Browning, I'd consider it my primary duck gun. What are some thoughts on this M1? Better than the Gold Hunter? More reliable? Faster shooting? Comes back on target faster?
