I own a 930 and a few other shotguns. It has taken a beating and has been more reliable than an Italian shotgun I won't name.

I do like the tang safety for waterfowl when wearing gloves. When predator hunting I can feel the safety position in the dark without getting near the trigger.

It's about a half pound more than the high end shotguns but that also helps with recoil. Fine for waterfowl but I wouldn't want to hike around with one.

The 935 is really about the overbored barrel for 3.5 shells. A bit stout but you won't notice coming from the 835. Definitely the way to go for Canada goose.

The problem is that 930s are popular with 3 gun, LE and of course hunters. You can't just go buy one like you used to. 

So I would probably hold off on a 930 unless you find a good deal. They are bit overpriced right now and it could be hard finding a camo version. I'd look at a Franchi Affinity 3. Check sportsmans warehouse.

Thanks guys for all the great info.  I think I can get through the rest of this season with my 835 so not in a huge hurry.  Just want to do my research now before buying one for next fall. Hopefully stores are stocking more shotguns by then.
