What semi-20Ga would you get?

[150class]

Have the Teknys AL 391 in a 20 ga and love it. Beautiful gun, bought it used and wish I could say that I've shot 1,000's of rounds through it . Don't have the time to shoot it as much as I'd like but it has been flawless so far.

Also have an A400 Xplor 12 ga that has the KO system. Same story, love it and wish I had more time to shoot it. Have shot less than 1,000 rounds through it but it also has been flawless so far.

FWIW - I was told by a gunsmith who has worked on a lot of nice guns not to "ever trade my Teknys for an A400. The 390 & 391 are just better made guns." He said he sees more problems with the A400. I didn't ask him to elaborate but wish I would have. I trust him and have no doubt he could back up the statement but I still wouldn't let it stop me from buying another A400 and taking my chances.

Just curious, why are you considering the KO system on a 20 ga? Cheek bruising? Hate recoil? KO system looks cool? Other?

I want there to be next to no recoil

Girly friend will be using it also so I want to make sure it's something she can shoot all day

Roger that, hate recoil as well

Reason I ask is that I've always had a problem with cheek bruising and bought the A400 12 ga w/ KO hoping that would solve it. The recoil was considerably less on my shoulder but the cheek bruising continued. Luckily I found a gunsmith who does "fittings" and guaranteed that he could correct the issue. It turned out that the standard LOP is way too short, he built a spacer for my Teknys to make it about 1 1/2" longer and that solved the problem. Have had that problem over 25 years, wish I would've known sooner but it sure is nice to finally get it resolved.

My vote is for the Xcel with KO, firmly believe you will love it.

Beretta 391.
Had a 1100 LT 20, had a Browning Gold 20. Sold them both and bought the 391.
ZERO recoil.

Grandkids are recoil shy and they love shooting it.

Browning a5 for semi auto gets my vote. I shoot a citori white lightning 20 for dove. Have an original auto 5 that my grandfather gave me new that my kids will use, just got a browning cynergy 12ga max 5 for ducks.

If it had a KO on it I'd be taking it

Pretty sure the A5 doesn't come in a 20..?

You can't beat the beretta A400

I shot a Remington 1100 many years ago and absolutely loved it in 20 gauge! I currently own a Benelli and would never buy another brand of shotgun.
