Except my order was cancelled; they couldn't import them fast enough or in large enough quantities to meet the demand and the crate my local sporting outfit had reserved either fell through after the fact or was oversold from pending backorders. I got a bead on one in Texas and it was running the same price point. And this was through an associate of a friend. Also was gone by the best day or two by the time I responded. So, they were running that price stock, before w even consider the beating the dollar has taken recently with regards to inflation. I couldn't get one at any cost while shouting, "take my money" and eaving cash in the air, metaphorically speaking. Except for the cash part. I was offering cash to anyone that could get my hands on an M4 in any condition. Maybe three market is sane again, but I'm not holding my breath.

The M4 is a great tactical shotgun . The one big thing they did that messed it up was what they did with the magizine tube making it far more expensive and difficult to install an extended magizine tube. This is where the M2 sines for less money. ( although both are over priced compared to other great semi auto self defense shotguns) If you like the m4 or m2 you really should try a FNH SLP 12 gage semi auto. It is a truly great shotgun. And for 3 gun competition check out the XRAIL M2 semi auto shotgun and remove the need to reload all together. It is a 28+1 round rotary fed semi automatic 12 guage. Or you can get just the xrail system and install it to your favorite shot gun in 16 to 25 rd options. But the m4 is a proven tank for sure

I enthusiastically agree...! I am very fortunate to own 2 M4's. One is the M1014 with collapsible stock and full capacity tube. I added a Trijicon RMR using a ScalarWorks mount, a Ferro Concepts Slingster, and a Mesa Tactical M-Lok handguard, which enabled me to mount a Surefire M300 light with remote switch. It is a reliable and a no-brainer to shoot well as Colion stated. If you want to make it even softer to shoot, add a Limbsaver butt pad also. My M4's are both r922 compliant using Freedom Fighter Tactical after-market parts. I enjoyed the M1014 so much that I found an M4 NFA 14" SBS for sale online. I bought it immediately ($😳$) but had to wait for 4 months for ATF approval. It also has the adjustable stock and for home defense, nothing can touch it. I installed another RMR with a taller mount for faster dot acquisition, and added a Briley MLok handguard, a surefire M140 micro light, the Limbsaver, and the Slingster. At 14" the SBS, like AR's, is very maneuverable, lightweight, and surprisingly accurate out to 40-50 yards, depending upon the load. I use #3 or #4 buck for home defense. It will end a threat very quickly and it's not likely to do as much peripheral damage as 00 buck or slugs. I understand that M4's are VERY costly when compared to mass market shotguns. It was "buy twice and cry twice" for me, but NO doubt worth every penny! imho.

If you want to use a shotgun for home defense make sure you make a good choice on your ammunition; #4 Buckshot was determined by FBI ballistic testing to be the best shotgun ammunition regarding home defense as it is lethal at defensive ranges, pattern well out of a cylinder bore, and had the minimum risk of over penetration. While the FBI found the .223/5.56x45mm was the best round in general for home defense as it was lethal and had the minimum past penetration distance of the rounds tested. 00 Buckshot penetrates much greater than #4 Buckshot and is able to travel through enough wall structures to equate to 2+ houses when it is not stopped by a body with slugs (12 ga.) being able to actually go past 4 houses of equivalent walls. Oddly pistol caliber ammunition’s were also quite prone to over penetrate when a body was missed. Our department and our co-training department also did quite a bit of independent ballistic testing and found similar results; we still standardized 00 Buckshot for most of the time, however warrant service in homes emptied and reloaded #4 Buckshot. Personally I too prefer an AR pattern rifle for home defense but do run 3-gun competitions and have a tactical shotgun (Remington 870 police special with tritium night sights) which doubles up as a home defense backup, it is loaded with #4 Buckshot with 00 Buckshot set up on a side saddle and slugs set up on a stock saddle. Whatever you choose practice as I’ve seen people that have, under stress, forgot to pump the shotgun. You can also keep a shotgun patrol ready, which can be a bit safer than keeping a round chambered; patrol ready involves closing the action on a verified empty chamber, loading the magazine tube, then pulling the trigger, this leaves the slide unlocked and simply requires racking to load a round. If you choose to keep a round loaded then that’s fine to.

It all comes down to training, training repeatedly will effectively allow you become very proficient with pump actions. In the Marines I carried an M16a1 and a Remington pump action, both are very deadly in the hands of those that train, train, train. Thanks for all you do. Gbwy

I like automatic shotguns and your video brings up several good points. Having said that… some of us grew up with pump shotguns and we know them very well 😊. My confidence is high when I’m armed with what works for me. I imagine everyone else feels the same way even if our platforms are different…
@kimdearrington2582 жыл бұрын
The only problem with the M4 is the initial cost of the gun. I realize that it is a high quality firearm, but it is about twice the price that it should be, and I guarantee you they could still make a great profit at half the price it currently sells for.

Consider a Panzer Arms M4, 1/4th the price and you just need to completely strip it down to clean some of the machine filings and crap oil. Careful with other Turkish M4s cause the bolt carriers can be made of soft metal that deforms from the pistons slapping them. Sometimes the pistons can also be soft metal. I got 4 Panzer M4s and couldn't be happier. Yeah it was a ton of work to completely strip all of them down but now I got 4 M4's for the price of one. Oh yeah make sure to replace the O-Rings in the gas system too since they are soaked with trash oil.

I've just started reading up on the M4, Colin missed a big reason to choose it over any cheaper semi auto shotgun. It's ridiculously reliable and doesn't much care what ammo you load into it. You can alternate one load with 000 buck and #10 birdshot if you so chose and the gun wouldn't jam. It just doesn't jam.

The Benelli M4 is awesome and is an easy transition from it to an AR platform and back again. However, I got my hands on a Remington 870DM Predator and a shitload of 6-round magazines before the company essentially went tits-up after stopping production years ago and have been in love ever since. It's a choked monster that I only fire 00Buck out of or 7.5 or 8 shot for long training days. The shotgun and detachable mags have operated flawlessly throughout hundreds of magazines fired, and I keep 10 of them loaded next to the bed.

I'm surprised you haven't already added the mag tube extension. Seems like the M4 is pretty great, I've been stalking it for a couple of years now. The only thing that makes me hesitant on it is the fact that it's nearly 2G's where I'm at AND if I wind up using it defensively then it's 2G's the police will be holding onto for a while as they do their 'investigation.' Seems like the police have an easy path to taking possession of a citizen's firearm but a not so easy path in returning it even when they've found no evidence of wrongdoing and it would be too great of a temptation for them to not want to give it back ever.

Colion. Hello sir. I owned a Bennelli Nova years ago good shotgun. The M4 is good shotgun. I’ve never understood the “pinched off” factory magazine tube but, hey. I now have owned a Mossberg 590 SP for several years and am comfortable with a pump action gun. As to the Benelli M4. Like it yes but if I was going Semi auto I’d look at the Mossberg M40. It’s not finicky about lighter field loads unlike the Italian semi autos can be and seems a very reliable gun and definitely more affordable for those of us not on a 6 figure income.

My 400XP Wraith is a total breeze to load and has lighter recoil than the M4.....though it's a little big for HD at 53 inches. The 940 mossberg and 1301 Beretta are also solid choices imo.
