[@strigkoletos]

hi from Greece. can you suggest a side saddle for Benelli M3 to be installed? i always read not to do it cause no one is perfectly fitted for. thanks in advance.

[@PolenarTactical]

@@strigkoletos i use a velcro backed shell carrier that i have glued on the side of the M3 Esstac makes good shell carrier that you can use for this purpose

[@strigkoletos]

@@PolenarTactical great! Thank you very much!

[@MackieLevyn]

Pump-semi combos are the best. Fast firing conventional shells, and you can pump the weird shells that dont cycle.

[@axelyoung1551]

For those who wonder ¨if semi is faster, whats the point¨. The difference is the ammunition. A lot of low powered or special shotgun loads like tear gas projectiles, less than lethal rubber rounds and dragons breath won't cycle in a semi auto shotgun. So that's why it has both. TLDR: Pump action, low powered loads. Semi Auto, full power rounds.

[@PolenarTactical]

Correct, the Benelli M3 was designed for police and military use where special rounds are used. Because a lot of speciality ammo isn't made to the same pressures and specifications as normal ammo, semi-auto only shotgun wouldn't cycle them properly. So the M3 has both systems in one :)

[@spearfisherman308]

If you are trying to hit targets a pump is just as good as a semi.

[@michaelhatfield3430]

I love my Benelli M3's. I own two. One was brand new and the other was a police trade in and I got it dirt cheap. It sat mostly in a rack and a small local sheriff's office. It has the pistol grip stock and my other had a standard stock which I actually prefer. I bought the first after watching the movie HEAT. Great video as always

[@PolenarTactical]

HEAT was amazing! I wan't a FNC because of it and i have an AR that resembles Colt commando that i don't want to modernise for the same reason :D I like the iconic look of the pistol grip stock but i din't buy it because this one is more ergonomic and works better for loading and shotgun manipulations

[@AlphaRomeoOneFive]

I was impressed with your pump shooting, I didn't think it would be twice as fast in semi. Good shooting!

[@fumastertoo]

That is one bada$$ shotgun, and great job shooting! Benelli is like the king of shotguns! Have a great week brother!

[@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929]

Damn I want a benelli M3. Such a cool shotgun!

[@TheDragonDelasangre]

I bought one of these a few months ago and it's a very capable and versatile shotgun and I really like the ability to run pump or semi. So far it's more reliable than the Russian Vepr I had.

[@greentea1941]

1:11, 1:18 the most interesting part of this gun. When I sick of pump action and want to shoot with semi auto mode. instead buy a entire new gun. with this, I just flip the switch!!

[@markcope5353]

All content from Polnar is awesome, just invite Jerry Miculek and check his times doing same drill. See if he can outrun the semi-auto.

[@PolenarTactical]

If anyone could, i bet Jerry would be the guy :D Also i would love to meet him

[@fintrollpgr]

@@PolenarTactical If it is shotgun you want to meet Jaakko Viitala, which is IPSC world champion standard manual shotgun. He outshoots lots of top SA shooters.

[@ggtedesco]

Exelente video muy explicativo. Es realmente rápida, en las dos forma. Felicidades

[@jasontrauer]

What an awesome shotgun. Didn't know that was a thing (covetable semi/pump shotgun)

[@buckshots2dabrain859]

Spas 12 and 15 have the same ability

[@Khoros-Mythos]

Sorry I know this is old but I wanted to respond. The Benelli M3 is often call the "SPAS-12 that actually works". SPAS-12s are pretty infamous for being finnicky and not always reliable, whereas you can (and many do) trust the Benelli's with your life.

[@justsomeguy3931]

Very cool, you controlled all the variables in both instances and changed only one - the selected fire mode. It would have been better to run 3 each way, to have more data to get an average. Make sure any conclusion isn't based on the difference between individual runs in each mode. I agree 100% tho, auto-loader for life. It's always better than a manual action, if it's very reliable, IMHO.

[@fightingfalcon1986]

Similar operation like the older Luigi Franchi SPAS-12, that's also a hybrid shotgun with pump and semi-automatic action.

[@DonPatrono]

ziga, just to say...an old promo pic of the early Benelli semiautos was a high-speed picture of one of the owners (I think it was Luigi Benelli) shooting one of their guns...and the focus was on the fact that the rifle was ejecting the fifth spent case, while the first one still hadn't touched the ground Benelli always took pride in the fact that "Our rifles shoot as fast as you pull the trigger", so...it was quite obvious it would have been faster and smoother

[@PolenarTactical]

Maybe the M1, M2 or M4 but i can actually "outshoot" the M3 - i can press the trigger so fast that it drops the hammer before the bolt goes fully into battery which leaves you with an uncocked hammer and unfired round in the chamber

[@DonPatrono]

@@PolenarTactical huh that's odd, even when me or my dad tried to go ham on our M3T Super 90 we've never been able to do it...but yeah, i guess it could happen

[@Jesses001]

I never knew they made a convertible version of this shotgun. I thought they were all just semi-auto. That is neat.

[@muaythainy1]

Good video. Thanks.

[@magicalfrijoles6766]

I am not an experienced shooter, so I have no frame of reference, but damn that was fast!

[@PSBSander]

Yes that thing is legendary! Must have one. And a SPAS12!

[@PolenarTactical]

I love the look of SPAS 12 but after handling and shooting with one i was a bit disappointed. It's to complex and strange to operate for some reason

[@bennettfender1546]

Polenar Tactical heavy weight too though that may be a blessing in disguise as I'd imagine recoil would be quite low on it compared to other shotguns especially in semi auto mode.

[@reasoning_exp]

Awesome video💯

[@cqb_7075]

This is good gun in case if it jams you can switch to pump action to cycle it out

[@lucianoferreira5455]

Nice video bro!!!

[@genna544]

Have any suggestions on a flashlight mount for the m3??

[@markdavidson1049]

@Polenar Tactical : Have you had any jams when firing this gun in semiauto mode? If so, how easy were they to clear?

[@PolenarTactical]

No, not really, mine is quite reliable. The last time i had a problem was in pump-action because i used reloaded slugs that were poor quality

[@stevenharader2112]

Mine has been super reliable and more reliable than any gas gun I have encountered. Clearing it is like any Benelli, just pull back on the charging bolt and that is it. Though you always have the option to switch it to pump and then pump the faulty round out as well.

[@jtayclay]

What side “cart or saddle” are you using for your additional shells? I just found a brand new M3, but haven’t found a side cart or light for it

[@uribobo]

the most important question is, can it still fly?

[@vanoscrap6296]

this guy know :D

[@vanoscrap6296]

d'you think Ziga has forgotten the art of the flying shotgun?

[@giuseppemancini2625]

Yes , with a strong kick in the ass

[@TopDog8762]

Very Interesting.

[@ironrock4808]

I thought that the 'Super 90' was the Benelli M4, is there a significant difference between the M3 and the M4?

[@PolenarTactical]

I think Super 90 refers to the inertia driven rotating bolt, the M4 also uses it. M4 is semi-auto only, the M3 is select - pump or semi, and M1 and M2 are semi-auto only. As far as i know all use a similar system and all are marked as "Super 90"

[@ironrock4808]

@@PolenarTactical Ohhh ok ok, wow, thanks for solving my doubt Polenar, it was something that always made noise in my head. I love your teaching videos, never stop pls

[@maledetto1221]

If i remember correctly "super 90" means that the chamber can fit and handle military pressure rounds

[@Galil_Ace]

@@ironrock4808 also know that the m4 uses the ARGO system which is different from the others

[@Khoros-Mythos]

"The Benelli M3: The SPAS-12 that actually works." -Gun Jesus

[@redfirekla]

That's why the vepr or Saiga style shotguns in my opinion are the best.

[@PolenarTactical]

When they run :D

[@TheDragonDelasangre]

"that's why" what reason is why the Vepr or Saiga is better? I had a Vepr and it didn't like weak ammo and the magazines cost a fortune. My Benelli M3 runs any ammo weak or hot in semi and will run it in pump if you feel like it that day. No stupid expensive and bulky magazines to keep track of and the action and build quality is 2-3x better than the Vepr.

[@redfirekla]

@@TheDragonDelasangre gas setting my friend...

[@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929]

@alan wake But does it also do it in pump action mode?

[@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929]

@alan wake true, and the only reason I would buy the m3 over a 930 or an fn slp is because I want that feature where I can swap between pump and semi auto. Which I unfortunately find way cooler that a lot of other people probably do.

[@shirolee]

Great video!

[@falklandmoon4328]

[@tylerbarclay629]

I own an M3 and I've noticed with other Benelli's, you can quick swap ammo out by using the cartridge drop lever. It doesn't appear to me that the M3 can do the same. Can someone educate me on this if there's a way?

[@vaughnburrows]

Can you do a video on the Mods you did to it?

[@paulh6101]

Can u do full auto Vs semi auto next?

[@PolenarTactical]

Would love to do it but unfortunately it can't shoot full auto. Also our retarded laws wouldn't allow it. Maybe when we are in the US again... :D

[@kilrain]

What's with the banded front sight? I know it's a protected blade but that's not a Benelli factory front ghost ring sight. Was just a beaded barrel that was converted to ghost rings? Did you shorten a factory ghost ring barrel and not want to refinish the barrel after brazing a new front sight on? Just curious, thanks!

[@SpartanGuy]

If there was one shotgun I could ever own, it would be a spas12, even with it's shortcomings. The M3 though is a close second.

[@PolenarTactical]

I know what you mean, to me it also looks iconic but it only took 10 rounds with it on the range before i changed my mind :D

[@PolenarTactical]

It's like it was designed by someone that never shot any guns before...

[@FulgurInteritum]

@@PolenarTactical Did the M3 ever have that problem with rapid fire fixed? The spas12 doesn't have the same problem from what I've seen.

[@Lapinmiez]

Spas 12 is literally just a movie and video game icon. The weight is just ridiculous for a shotgun my damn rifles are lighter even with optics included.

[@stevenharader2112]

Fulgur Interitum I am curious, what is the rapid fire issue?

[@W0pper1997]

Does the M3 kick harder than the M4?

[@PolenarTactical]

I have shot both but never side by side with the same ammo so it's hard to tell. M4 has similar locking bolt mechanism but the "recoil" main spring on the M3 is very big and long and that could dampen or at least change the recoil pattern.

[@stantinoskon3556]

Pump action was 4.02 seconds and semi-auto was 2.71 seconds - so that's a difference of 1.31 seconds for 8 shots
