Please don't eliminate them from consideration.

I know the kimber is out of my price range, I recognize the name Steyr but thats about it, and as far as the .380 I'm sure its a good round, but not sure if I want/trust something smaller than a .4
would a gun range have different makes models to try, maybe put some lead down range?

It is heavier than the Benelli by a bit, but seems more stable. It cycles very smoothly.
The SX3 is quite a bit lighter. I have not shot one of those either.
I still use my Win 120 pump for pheasants.
