Anyone on the board shoot this 912? Been looking at one.. wanted to know your thoughts if you have one. Not a bad looking shotgun for under $700.

My buddy has one it's nice. It seemed to me like it kicked harder than my m2000 and it's inertia. You might wanna check out an m2000 too I have one and love it. The 912's are nice guns for the money tho.

Got one, use it for ducks and doves and really like it. If I needed another guy I would definitely would buy another, feel like good deal for the money. My understanding is they are not making them anymore, now Franchi just making 3" and leaving 3.5" to Benelli models.

Yep, the new model replacing the 912 is the I-12. I'd buy the Stoeger if I wanted the 3'' chamber.
