Buy a browning, remmington, or a nova.  I'd recommend them in that order.  You didn't tell us what you're going to do with this gun.

I don't know what i was thinking , must have had christmas dinner on my mind or something. Goose hunting is my main problem w/ my 870 that I have now those 2 3/4 just ain't reaching like I want and the 935 will shoot all is one reason that it has caught my eye. I will use 3 1/2 prob just for goose season and I am wanting a semi auto because I don't have one yet all my scatterguns are pump or single. Have even thought of a double 10 guage any ideas. I apoligize for the lack of information and thank you.....Bill

I killed geese with my 10ga this morning.  It's a 26" BPS.  When I bought it many years ago I intended to also use if for turkey hunting but I quickly decided it was too heavy to carry around all day.  As such, it only draws duty during late season goose hunts.  I like the dry-lok 3 1/2" BBBs behind a 3 1/2" 2. 

If you want an auto I believe you can still get the Mag 10.  Maybe some other guys know who else makes a 10. 

If you're going to use a 12ga in 3 1/2" (I don't recommend this) I'd get a benelli or winchester.  I've got 2 of the benellis and they are a quality product.  Two of the best duck hunters/guides I know shoot the Super X2 and swear by it.  They don't shoot 3 1/2" shells, and I only shoot them for turkeys so I can't speak to the reliability.  The recoil will make you cry.  Then you'll think about the 10ga which is a platform built to compensate for that type of recoil.
