RE: best 3 1/2 inch gun
I bought a Beretta Xtrema 3.5 this summer. Shot doves in september and ducks on ice with it, no jams. It shoots soooo soft and is easy to maintain. If your looking semi auto, go with this gun. Camo finish is available. Mossberg is the cheap way out. Get a good gun and keep it for life instead of buying 5 mossbergs.
