I have the Benelli SBE and several Beretta autos that use the shim kit. I can tell you that out of the box, the guns didn't fit me well, but after adjusting them they fit me fine. The first one I bought, the SBE felt great when I shouldered it at the store, but I bought the 28" barrel gun which was in the back in a box. Imgaine my surprise when I got it home, put it together, and it felt like crap. Luckily, I figured out the shim kit. I like the Beretta autos for the same reason and have all of them set up the same way. They all feel great when I mount them.

The rotating bolt on the Benelli, Beretta Extrema, and Franchi acts kind of like the bolt on a rifle and it helps with the ejection of the spent shell.

I love Beretta and Benelli, but I have yet to shoot a Franchi. I would assume that it is almost, if not just, as good as the Beretta and Benelli, especially since Franchi is owned by Benelli and Benelli is owned by Beretta.
