Have you ever even shot a Benelli? Have you ever even shot a 12ga for that matter?
Also do you even know what a Glock 34 or 17L is? You think you know everything but you don't. PERIOD.
... and personally, the best shotgun ever built is the Remington Model 870. this and the mossberg 500 have seen more action and been around longer than any others. benelli makes great weapons but they aint a remington 870.
If you want a handgun, any Glock will do just fine. I like the larger ones for home because I can "feel" them slightly better. The only reasons to go with a smaller model is if you might want to conceal it or if it fits your hand better.
If you want a pump shotgun, you have plenty of affordable options that will function just fine. Whichever one feels best is the one to go with. Just think about the controls when you hold it, like the safety and action release and make sure you are comfortable with where they are and how they operate.
