I like my Benelli Nova pump, it works great and it has never locked up on me once. I am jumping up to the semi auto Benelli M2 Field, I used one and I didn't want to put it down.

Think of it this way, in the right hands a pump can be deadly fast but it also can give you some time to think before you blow threw all your shells. Where the semi auto is click bang bang bang. I've tought myself to take some time before shots and its paid off. Its all in what feels best to you
