I don't own one, but I've been lucky enough to put a couple of thousand rounds through a friend's. Understand, the following comments are coming from a guy that owns a Beretta.
The fore end is slimmer than many guns, not quite as slim as either the Beretta or the Benelli, but still adequately slim enough. The action is smooth, though during firing I did hear a bit of a 'ping' sound (it's natural though). The gun balances well and points well. I could shoot it nearly as well or as well as my Beretta.
After a couple of thousand rounds that I've put through it and probably 5000 rounds my friend has through it, it hasn't had a hickup. Though you do need to clean it after about every 300-500 rounds.
