I'm kind of scared to answer this one.
The original question could have just been PM'd to the few experts we have on here as no one else's opinion matters.

Logic Yes, when I grew up, all we had was 12ga's in 2 3/4", there was no 3". I like the versatility of a 3" today especially in the deer shotgun zone. I use a lot of 2 3/4" shells for grouse with lead. There's nothing wrong with a chambered 2 3/4" shotgun. They are very affective today as they were years ago. So I hope I've answered your question.
If you can show me a post where I proclaimed to be a superstar I will retract that post. You admit you have only shot a limit once but it seems you are damned sure the 3" is better.What do you base this on?..you are right again...when you say people come to this site looking for advice...and I gave it....What is it with you?

Can't we all just buy Benelli's that cycle pretty much everything and come with multiple chokes so we can finally just get along

Same duck gun I have But I have never seen or herd of 3" 16ga shell.
I use 2 3/4" 16ga #2 steel for ducks and geese when I have to opertunity to hunt them. If I where to get back into serious waterfowl hunting I would switch over to the 3" shells only because they are readily available every where.

Well since, D6dan bought his newest shotgun less than 6 yrs ago, upgrading to a new BPS as he is a leftie. He bought a 3" because that is what was made. he shoots 2 3/4 birdshot, and he shoots 3" deer shells. Just because his shotgun is a 3" doesn't mean that's all he shoots, the OP asked if a 2 3/4 chambered gun is worth buying and Dan gave his opinion. If you don't like don't read it, it's his opinion based on his experience I know how much experience he has and I have seen very little support to your level of expertise. So instead of trying to derail a thread and turn everything into a pissing match offer up some of your real world experience instead of just slamming other peoples opinions and dropping an article reference.

Carole, why don't you and Toonie go down to the bay and get us some pics... Too many people use them to see who the real hunters are.
I have an older 870 that only takes 23/4 I got the full choke barrel reamed and it kills ducks but I wish I had a three inch because my partner with 3" kills way more than me. And it couldn't be my poor shooting ? Could it. Na it's the gun
