You know the Benelli M-3 Super 90 is a pump/semi-auto combo.

Why no just get that and be done with it, since you said you like the Benelli in the first place.

Where are you located?
Local Turner's has both shotguns you mentioned in stock.

compulsive you are lucky you can't find an M3 they suck and you aren't going to help your shotgunning running the M3. If you have to have one be prepared to be at the back of the bus in tactical schools and shotgun matches. I have a few Benellis and and the other M series guns are great.

My M3 is just as reliable as my M1. The M3 is very similar to the M1 in construction with the exception of having bolt assembly riding on a metal carrier with the recoil spring around in magazine tube vs M1's simpler rattail arrangement. The main selling point of the M3 is that it's a semi/pump shotgun so you can have shoot a wider range of ammo through the M3, ie less than lethal round that will not cycle the M1. . . but I shoot only buckshot and slugs through either guns.

I have never said the M3 is unreliable just slow to use and front heavy compared to the other M series guns with the m4 in second.

Buy one if you want but you'd better serve yourself with one of the other M series guns.

For me the balance of the M3 is just terrible, also it's not a true pump action. But if you want to shoot mild loads in a Benelli than the M3 is your only choice. I'd go with the M2 or in a pump a Mossberg 590 or a Remington 870.

If you're looking for a Remington 870 Police than Gun World close enough to you and should be able to get you one.
