I love my Benelli, but I've seen it jam! They all will at times, for different reasons. I shoot Benelli's, but mainly because I fell in love with the fit. they just shoulder perfectly for me. I have an original 1187, it's a descent gun, just don't like the way it feels and swings.
If an 870 jams it is user error! If I did what I used to do to my old 870 duck hunting to a $1000 autoloader it might be a crime. I remember ice shattering off it when I shot, the pump feeling so gritty there might have been crawdads living in it, and enough mud in the checkering it was smooth. I wonder why it wears a coat of spray paint now! I still say the OP has all the gun he needs.
