In today’s high tech semiautomatic shotguns there are basically 2 types: Gas or Inertia. You may have both types, or only one type.
Each system has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. If you don’t know which type your favorite auto loader is, we will go over those and how each works respectively.
Gas guns have pretty much been the standard and go to shotgun for the last 40-50 years.

Inertia was essentially brought to the forefront of shotguns by Benelli. Now Franchi, Stoeger and other have picked up the inertia driven systems as well.

CONS
In conclusion, both Gas and Inertia driven shotguns are here to stay. Both are highly reliable and effective tools to shoot whatever game you pursue. To some it is a matter of how one feels or simple preference. Which gun you choose is completely up to you.
I just wanted to touch on a subject that I often get asked about. I don’t think there are any winners or losers when it comes to either of these systems, as both are extremely effective.
