I keep hearing about the greatness of the Benelli M-1's and M-2's, but never hear about the M-3. Any comments on the convertable?

The M3 like the M4 is a gas gun. The M1 and M2 utilize the inertia system to cycle the gun. That inertia system allow the gun to run dirtier and more reliably than any gas gun over time. Plus the M3 has ghost ring sights. Last the jack of all trades master of none rule. You can shoot any shotgun in 3 gun. Some just work better than others.
Page 16 of the M3 operators manual (http://www.benellius...i_M3_manual.pdf) says "The new M3 SUPER 90 uses the weapon's recoil energy to operate in the semi-automatic mode." I take that to mean that is not a gas gun.
I figured that it might be the one shotgun you need for both IMGA and USPSA heavy metal classes.
