Anyone have any experience with these? How do they compare to similar auto loading 12ga shotguns?

Depends on the application at hand. As far as reliability and build quality, they are top line guns. Fit and finish on the few I have seen is awesome and typical Browning quality. Too heavy (in my opinion) to tote all day in the field, and not heavy enough for a dedicated clays gun. They are a good all around gun if you only have one shotgun and should last many years for the average person. They refuse to operate properly with very light 1 ounce skeet loads ... regardless of what their advertising says. Otherwise they will shoot most anything you can feed them. I haven't seen any of the 3.5" models.

I'd use it mostly for dove hunting. I don't duck hunt at this point, and I'd probably carry my 870 for calling if'n I use a shotgun

It would make a most EXCELLENT dove gun.
When I referred to them being heavy, I was talking about upland hunting. They would be a good coyote gun, also.

Thanks for the reply. I think I may give this one a try.
