Best Shotgun Ever? - M1014 Benelli 12 Gauge combat shotgun

[@jordanhendricks5203]

I carried a m1014 everyday with me during my deployment to Afghanistan in 2011 as a Marine Grunt. That gun never ever failed me and I cried a little when I had to give it back! I miss that weapon more than I miss my M203😢

[@rednecksniper4715]

Well if you can’t swing a legit benelli there’s been a lot of good reviews on the Panzer Arms M4 clone it’s about $400. Thank you for your service btw

[@jaydubs6354]

Get you one! They’re awesome

[@discodan3367]

NO! Drop the dime on a Benelli M1014 and spend the time and effort converting it. The cheap panzer knockoff just isn't the same, you will regret it, and just end up with the Benelli anyway!

[@codypokorny5837]

What choke did you guys run

[@discodan3367]

@@codypokorny5837 there is no choke on the standard 1014 barrel. Comes out to roughly a modified cylinder if there was one for both the short and standard configuration barrels.

[@dstokes7479]

The purpose and design of the loading system is a safety feature and a genius design. Not sure what your complaint is?

[@kybbe112]

He just won't understand the system. Of course the shotgun loads another round from the tube after pressing the trigger. This feature is so the operator can quickly change different type of ammunition to the chamber.

[@jwalesoutlaw3294]

The beretta 1301 is exactly the same.

I have a Benelli M4 .. and I loved this video. 😍

[@ThatsAmore2142-mz1dj]

I love mine. Benelli collapsible stock, 7 round tube, RX Arms 6 position recoil tube *MUCH recommended by the way for adjustability* and an RMR HD on top... the thing just begs to be abused. The intro on this video is by far the best I've seen showing the capabilities of this shotgun!

[@ThezBraProject]

FWIW, my m1014 also needed a “break in” of around 100 rounds before it figured itself out. Have not had an issue with it since.

[@110sassactual]

It’s interesting… it’s not the first gun I’ve had to shoot a bunch in order for it to function reliably (break in) haha

The manual of arms is different but once you get used to it it’s very intuitive and I actually prefer it now that I’ve gotten used to it.

[@JohnDoe-zg6fn]

Yes, yes it is. It has proven itself over and over again in combat, in law enforcement, as well as the civilan world. Not to say that there are not other good shotguns out there, but the M4 is by far the best of the best.

[@brighthought11]

Gen 12 beats it now, but tube fed, yea Benelli

[@jakob918]

@@110sassactualthis is the way

[@Disturbed-247]

Benelli states that the M4s need to be “broken in” when right out of the box. After that short break in, they basically never die. Best Semi-Auto scattergun ever made.

[@juliancendejas4544]

I never had to break mine in. until this day after 2 years I’ve never had a single malfunction.

[@Disturbed-247]

@@juliancendejas4544 Ive seen both happen. Mine was great out of the box and other friends I know that have bought them have had to break their gun in. Regardless, Benelli themselves states there is a break in period. So once that is up, you’re good to go.

[@jackusmc2542]

You had me with Gang of Wolverines! Good video.

[@tanker1668]

If my HK Benelli M1S90 that I bought in 1989 ever breaks I’m getting an M4. At least 10K rounds of bird, buck, and fosters and absolutely nothing has broke.

[@bosinnpashalka]

Я каждый день носил с собой m1014 во время моей командировки в Афганистан в 2011 году в качестве пехотинца. Этот пистолет никогда меня не подводил, и я немного всплакнул, когда мне пришлось его вернуть! Я скучаю по этому оружию больше, чем по своему M203😢

[@MD-mm1zv]

If you wrote that dialog, it musta taken at least a month. But, it's good.. There's just nothing like the M4. A gold standard for blasters. Recently, I listened to a Geissele trigger video, in which Bill briefly mentioned a trigger for a Benelli shotgun. Haven't been able to find anything on it. Adding something like a crisp AR tigger to an M4 would be something else. Do you know what he may have been referring to?

[@tylermast7224]

In my opinion. In military combat situation. I rather have the M4, ar15. Something I know I can reload fast and get back into the fight. A shotgun to me is really made for close combat situation.

[@kenmueller1466]

Would you recommend the SBS Entry version instead?

[@110sassactual]

Probably not. This is the best overall general purpose shotgun they make

[@jackmobes3752]

Not true about the shotgun being single shot if you don’t depress the shell release.

[@mariustresorus942]

10:06 I don’t like that either. Not good for home defense as it is not safe at all to keep a shell in the chamber with hammer cocked.

[@d7dun1010]

Not a fan of ghost-loading but, so what? Regarding your more important point, depending on the actual shell length I have had trouble with some loads getting more than six in. You have to find a shell that is the right size and you can load seven.

Mine wouldn’t fire 2 rounds without jamming. Was shooting 3” 00 buck, 00 buck, 000 buck, didn’t matter. Researched it online and found many people complaining about that. Must be a luck of the draw getting a good one.

[@110sassactual]

[@jlock611]

I had issues with mine at first. Failure to load issue. Bolt would stay locked open after firing a round. An instructor with 40 years of experience at a class I was taking asked me how much I lubricated it. I’m always light on my lubrication. The instructor grabbed a bottle of lube and squeezed a puddle into the closed bolt. Said it would take about 12 rounds to spread it around inside. He was 100% correct. After that, not one issue. He told me that his experience with the Benelli is that it runs best when very wet. He also said they seem to have a break in period of about 200-250 rounds. He also mentioned that it can be particular about the shells it shoots. The only time I’ve had the loading issue after lubing it heavily was shooting a box of what seemed to be cheap 00 buck ammo. The range only had a small amount of Winchester and Federal 00 so I had to buy the cheap stuff. But it shoots great when broken in, heavily lubed and it loves Winchester ammo.
