It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for a good semi-auto, I have always believed them to be much under-rated guns and others seem to be catching on now. Some of my dealer friends tell me they are accounting for an ever greater proportion of their mid-market sales these days! For the record and because I can’t resist a digression into firearms history, the first successful semi-automatic, was the Browning A5 (AUTO FIVE) which appeared about 1900. It used long-recoil action where the barrel and bolt stay locked together and recoil into the receiver for the length of the cartridge. Next came a modification of this - short recoil and doubtless inspired by the gas-operated rifles of WWII, gas/piston-operated shotguns soon arrived on the scene. The Remington 1100 set the standard; well-engineered and soft-recoiling, the baton was taken up by many others including Beretta with their excellent 300 series guns, which regular readers will know I greatly admire.
