I personally feel that the Beretta semi-auto's feel terrible, they feel bulky and heavy and just kinda awkward. The Benelli SuperSport and Cordoba both are awesome in terms of feel and balance. I shoot a 1100 that works great if its kept clean. I also have a Browning Citori Lighting Sporting Clays gun, but I never seemed to shoot it as well as the 1100, so I went back to the 1100 for clays.
I had the opposite experience. I started out shooting sporting clays with an 11-87, and hit a kind of scoring plateau. I switched to a Browning Citori Special Sporting Clays, and my scores instantly improved by about 20%...
I grew up shooting an 870 and then went to the 1100 so I was really used to that style. Also the Browning was just to short for me. My Dad now uses it and his scores have jumped big time, it fits him perfect. I really like the Browning, its an awesome gun, just doesn't quite fit me right.
