I posted this on the Firearms Review Forum without much success, so I'm gonna try it in this forum:

I've been looking around for a new semi-auto 12 gauge, and the franchi I-12 caught my eye. It looks liek a good all around gun... it says it can put up with the abuse of ducky weather (howling rain, mud, blowing sleet, etc...) because of the Inertia Driven system, and it has the recoil pad which reduces felt recoilsignificantly. Also, it has the vario max system so it can handle dove loads to 3.5 inch turkey loads. But, I'm always skeptical about everything. Those of you who have had experience with this gun. I'd greatly appreciate all of the pros and cons. Let me know about any other suggestions of other guns you might have.

Thanks,

Chris
