I picked up a unique Franchi Affinity 3 today. It has had a few modifications to make it more of a self defense shotgun. I shot it a few times today just to shake it down. Since it is basically a Benelli (actually stamped Benelli on the receiver) it is an inertia gun. It cycles very fast but recoil is more than a comparable gas gun. I am waiting on an MSP receiver mount and probably going to mount a Vortex Defender ST RDS. This should make a very fast handling gun with slugs or buckshot. More to follow.
