gas gun when the weather is nice, double barrel when the weather is bad, inertia if I want to get in touch with my feminine side. If I had a feminine side down there I sure as hell wouldn't tell anyone, much less let anyone touch it. I think what he is saying, is if there is an inertia gunner out there, he has a feminine side they can touch. But I don't know, everyone thinks I know everything but I don't.

I’ve never ever seen a auto 5 jam. And all the rest do.

I just went through this whole ordeal as I was shopping for a new shotgun Last week. Spoiler alert: I ended up with a bereta A400 Xtreme plus.
Ive had one auto shotgun, a browning Maxus, for 10 years. I just had the bug for something new. I went and shot an A400 and SBE3 side by side. For me the difference in felt recoil was really only noticeable with 3.5” turkey loads. In 10 years I have shot maybe one box of 3.5” shells so my decision became the A400 or a benelli M2.
Will the inertia be more reliable, maybe. If I take care of the gas will it run for me, probably. So it all came down to how the gun felt. The fore end on the sbe3 and M2 felt short and narrow to me and the gun didn’t feel as balanced. So I walked out of Scheels the new owner of a A400 XP in optifade timber and I couldn’t be more happy with my purchases.

Nice gun! I do like being able to handle the different guns at Scheels without having someone hand them to me.

Inertia: Pros lower maintenance, cons higher recoil.... Gas: Pros lower recoil, cons higher maintenance... I got an SBE2 because I’m ADD and don’t like cleaning and pampering a gun, and high recoil does not bother me. I clean my gun once a year before hunting season. It’s going on 13 years now, the more I abuse it the better it shoots. https://www.wildfowlmag.com/editorial/gas-vs-inertia-which-shotgun-is-best-for-you/280169

Speaking of recoil, my Super Vinci has little recoil. The downside is it's bulkier than the SBE but I prefer a lightweight shotgun due to the type of waterfowl hunting I do. fwiw, any lightweight shotgun, be it recoil or gas operated, is going to have more recoil. The exception is an old school A5 which most folks say kicks like a mule. I have one I let folks use as a loaner and I get a kick out of watching them shoot it for the first time. The A5 light 12's are a little more forgiving.

Gas auto = less recoil and more cleaning. Tends to be a little less reliable in cold weather due to slower powder ignition speeds and thus lower gas pressure. (Physics is physics) We rarely get that kind of cold weather in Texas. Think below 15-20 degrees.
Inertia = generally a lighter shotgun, comparably more recoil. Tends to be a little more reliable in cold weather and bad conditions. Clean once a year. Generally need to watch whether the bolt is fully in battery to prevent missed opportunities at birds. Also make fairly pleasant upland guns due to light weight. A nice all around choice.
Long recoil semiauto = aka the Browning Automatic, Remington Model 11 and other clones of John Browning’s masterpiece made from 1903-1998. Heavy, more recoil than gas but less than inertia due to the overall weight of the shotgun. Practically always go boom. Swab the barrel out once after nasty weather hunts or putting up for the season. Full breakdown cleaning every few decades. (That’s not a joke.)
Thought for the day: Ducks were almost hunted to extinction long before camo was invented.

John Browning had 128 firearm related patents and considered the Browning Auto-5 his greatest achievement.
Just my .02, LeonCarr As do I. I hunt exclusively with a 1965 Auto 5. Just took it out of the box in 2018.

My side by side has never jammed on me. My Citori once failed to shoot on the second barrel. Afterwards I learned that Citori's have inertia cocking mechanisms.
