I have a M1-90 that is about five years old. I like the wieght and the handling of the gun. Since I have not found the need for 3.5 inch shells I have not felt any lack of power. My biggest complaint id htat the gun shoots low. I have the shim to keep my head as high as it can go, but it still shoots low. I have learned to keep my head up when gunning ducks and the uplands. For turkeys I have to put sights on to make sure I am on when shooting a tight choke.
