Two had problems cycling loads of any weight or quality, whatsoever. Both had them sent back to the manufacturer who said nothing was wrong. They were able to trade them in at a nasty loss of value, but still got enough for them to get a better semi-auto. One bought a Remington 1100 and the other a Browning Gold. The SS cost nearly 1500 dollars and these repalcement guns of better quality ar nearly half that. Go figure.

The third guy I know with one still has had no issues with it aside from the period failure to extract

The guys at my local Gander Mtn. say that even though they are a Benelli Dealer, their particular department manager will not stock the SS because of the high percentage of returns for service... go figure.
