2 3/4” boss shells will fold em up just as good as 3.5s. No need with the advancement of bismuth technology. It literally is like the old days of shooting lead.

Is there a "need" for a 3.5" shotgun?

the good thing about a 3.5 chamber is that you can shoot what ever you want,, not so with a 2.75 or 3". you will also never "wish" you had bought a 3.5", because you will have it if you ever feel the need for it,,,, with ammo being like it is who knows how much better it will get or worse? the 3.5 chamber makes a lot of sense, even if you don't "need" it right now ......

I shoot 3” shells through a 3.5” gun. The reason why I have a 3.5 is because it can cycle anything. Drop your steel shot in the water, leave them at home, whatever the reason it doesn’t matter you can borrow your buddies shells or find whatever may be available at the local sporting goods store. As long as it’s 12ga then my gun will shoot it.

The 3.5" 12 gauge came out in the early days of steel to try to make up for the lack of shot. The 3.5 12ga is a compromise between a 12 and a 10. With modern shells, a 3" is more than enough to kill anything in reasonable range. The few extra pellets mean nothing if you can't put them where they need to be. There is the benefit of being able to shoot any 12ga, but Imo the added cost and recoil isn't worth it.
