Anyone had any experience with these?

I shot my first 2 gun match this past weekend and discovered 2 gun is codeword for "twice as much pistol work" gun.

Anyway, was thinking of giving the 3-gun a try and wanted to get a decent shotgun for it.

Thanks in advance.

I have one

You have one awesome shotgun and it won't let you down. Not looking to start a pissing contest about why it's better than the other competition shotgun. The Benelli is a fine shotgun.
Like everything in life, there are pros and cons concerning the Benelli vs FN SLP
In my opinion, the FN wins. I'd rather just leave it at that

I had a FN SLP, was not a great shotgun. Picky on ammo, needed springs replaced at least twice a year. No matter what you did it would act up every so often in a match. I bought a Beretta 1301, that shot gun just runs and runs. Hit it with some CLP is all I do on it. The Gen 2 is even better Beretta moved the serial number to allow the port to be opened more.

Beretta just came out with a 1301 Pro, about $400 more but just about everything is done to it. Go check out Brian Enos Forum, it is mostly serious shooters there.

Decide if you want to shoot open, or tac ops. That is where the biggest difference in shotguns are.

Yeah I need to look at the divisions. My pistol has irons, my rifle has an acog... So not sure if that moves me I to tac ops or not. I shot, open I thought this Saturday, but practiscore shows tac ops.

You were in Tac ops. If you put optics on your pistol you move to open. In open you can have mag feed shotguns like the VR80, while Tac ops you hand load.

Yeah I just got a G34.5 so I'm in open now. Saving money up for that Roth xrail.
