Owners of the Super Black Eagle 3 consistently point to the Inertia Driven System as the reason they trust it in bad weather, since it keeps running with less fouling than gas guns after a long day of shooting. Recoil is the most debated topic: the ComforTech stock takes the edge off heavier waterfowl loads for most shooters, though a handful of owners still find the gun snappy compared to heavier gas-operated shotguns.

In the field, the balance and swing get frequent praise from waterfowl and turkey hunters who carry the gun over long distances. The Cerakote finish holds up well to mud, rain, and salt air, which matters to owners who hunt marshes and coastal blinds.

Value opinions split along price lines: buyers coming from cheaper pump guns sometimes balk at the cost, while long-time Benelli owners argue the reliability and low maintenance pay for themselves over years of hard use. Aftermarket chokes and stock spacers are easy to find for the platform.
