Is Winchester SX4 gas or inertia?
Before that, nearly all semi-auto shotguns were inertia-driven. Today, the most popular gas-operated shotguns include Beretta’s A400, Winchester’s SX4, Mossberg’s 930 family and Remington’s V3 and Versa Max. Gas-operated guns have two primary advantages when compared with their recoil-driven kin.
Is inertia better than gas?

I’ve also found gas guns run a bit better in extremely cold weather.

Are inertia shotguns good?
