The Most Popular Benelli Shotgun - First Mag

[@coffeeandlifting]

People normally relegate the M2 to competition use, but the 18.5" M2 makes an outstanding fighting shotgun. Its in the top tier for reliability while being less complex and cleaner than any of the competition. The inertia system is Benelli's true flagship autoloading design, and it works really, really well.

[@DrQuagmire1]

I agree man!!! I myself own a Benelli M2 that already comes with a 7+1 capacity right out of the box, so that right there saves me the trouble from upgrading the magazine tube to a full 7-rounds. I'm hoping to take a few shotgun courses at the range that I go to, just to see how smooth the shooting is.

[@mantism.d.8363]

Yup, just had an aftermarket bolt release installed. Nordic 3B extension kit and clamp arrives tomorrow 👍

[@coffeeandlifting]

@@mantism.d.8363 The Nordic stuff is great. I use their tubes and clamps on everything. M300C on one side and the QD slot on the other. 👌

[@DefinatelyNotMe]

@@mantism.d.8363 Same route I went.

[@billionsandbillions]

Benellis inertia system is just recoil Operated dude. Stop falling for the marketing scheme. I own one. Yes it’s great, however it’s just recoil operated. Inertia system is just a name Benelli used to sell shotguns to low iq buyers so they can go on KZbin and say Colion Noir told me it’s inertia driven and it’s the best. Lol. It’s recoil operated dude.

[@benchampion4086]

Thanks for the reviews of the Awesome Benilli shotguns they are all great. I had a Nova issued to me when I was the Chief Detention Officer of a jail that housed federal prisoners and to transport them I had my Sig P220 45 ACP and the nova in the rack. I felt totally secure.

[@offworlder1]

Those two are solid and very reliable, I’d feel safe as hell too.

[@offworlder1]

I like all of the Benelli M series shotguns, favorite is the Benelli M4 Super 90 because that is the one that I wanted to own for over a decade and now do own one.

[@OutlawJohnny]

I have the Beretta 1301, Benelli M2 and M4, plus a small assortment of Mossberg (500,590). The M4 is by far my favorite.

[@Skysoldier19681]

I've got an M2 Tactical (pistol grip version) that I've had for years. I bought it because the M4 was about $500 more. The M2 is fantastic and can be upgraded with products from GG&G, such as an enlarged tactical charging handle, enhanced bolt release pad, optics mount/shell holder, extended magazine, etc. Maybe one day Colion will do a side by side comparison of the M4 and M2 Tactical, as well as the accessories that are available. Once you realize that the M2 can be upgraded and modded inexpensively, it becomes a viable (and affordable) alternative to the M4. My only real disappointment in the M2 is the unavailability of a breaching choke.

[@nominalvelocity]

Really old first gen m2s use Beretta mobil chokes, newer ones use Benelli crio chokes, you might have to take your choke out and confirm what you have. Pretty sure Carlsons currently makes breachers for both setups for 50-60 US buckaroos.

[@hkenn5891]

I have an benelli m3, super fun to shoot, and i love the switch between pump and auto

[@ninjazxd]

Exactly. The M3 is the one I would buy if I were to buy another Benelli. Have the supernova but will get the M3 eventually.

[@mikehobbs7421]

I had the m2 tactical. I sold it and just today bought the M2 field with a 26” barrel lol. Probably should have just kept the tactical and bought a hunting barrel for it. Oh well I love the m2 in all it’s fine forms! Great video! Cheers from Canada eh 🍻🇨🇦🤘

[@Elienguitar]

As a gift to myself for my promotion, I bought an M2 in December of 22. I had to have a second Wick Stick lol. It's the perfect shotgun. I got the 11006 20" and added a +7 extension.

[@gocloneyourself]

I bought the Field model M2 with a 21 inch barrel. They are overlooked and underrated

[@RandyA7]

I love my M2 and love how it stays so clean. I literally wipe the barrel with a cloth when I’m done for the day and not much comes out at all. It is my only shotgun. It’s worth it! I changed out the magazine tube for a slightly longer one that is even with the barrel and added a light for home defense.

[@gbullock2598]

1. Beretta 1301 tactical 2. Benelli M4 3. Remington 870 4. Mossberg 500

[@joquin4618]

What about beretta 1301 comp pro 🤔

[@richardhillier442]

Sounds like an addition to your setup eh? Thanks for all you do, in front and behind the scenes. Be safe brother.😁🙏👌

[@1sonjohn44]

Please get the benelli m3 next. Great video.

[@Kornholeeoo]

I love a Benelli shotgun as I own 3 that have MSRPs above 2K. I didn’t pay that as the street price usually knocks it down about 2-300. But I have to give the parent company some props too! Beretta’s 1301 Tactical is an amazing shotgun as well. I had the option of getting an M2 Tactical or a 1301 Tactical and I chose the 1301. I was able to find an actual LE version with the real 7 round mag tube. Didn’t have to convert it like I did my M4. Only 1 downside with this particular version is the LE model didn’t have a choke barrel. It’s strictly a cylinder barrel. But that’s not really an issue. The gun shoots fantastic! Beretta says it’s the fastest cycling shotgun out there now. I won’t question that. I cannot outrun it like I have other shotguns. I’ll still probably get an M2 as I seem to see them everywhere. But this was only the 2nd 1301 I’ve found in a store in a year. Didn’t get the first one I saw as I was purchasing the M4 that day. So don’t do any research on the 1301 or you’ll end up getting one like I did! 🤣. Thanks for this video!

[@vincentj3093]

I have the M2 with a 28” barrel . I use it for sporting clays at least twice a week and have never had a malfunction. I have tried many different types of shotguns for clays and the M2 is my favorite , second place is the Benille super nova . After watching this video I think I’m picking up and 18” barrel for it. Thanks

[@johnstarr2326]

I love my Rem 870. However, the Benelli M4 is the best shotgun that I have shot...and I have 8 shotguns for comparison.(Pump and Semiautomatic)

[@Paelorian]

Doesn't have the same coolness factor as the M4 or Beretta 1301, but the M2 has a big advantage in being available in 20 gauge as well as 12 gauge. It's probably the best 20g semi-auto shotgun on the market. And while 20g isn't as versatile as 12g, it can do most things adequately. Including self-defense. The right 20g buckshot loads are a fine alternative to 12g for home defense, as they've got close-range stopping power similar to (if slightly less than) 12g. Slightly less potency than 12g is still more potent than anything else, including common rifle rounds.

[@grimeye1]

Idk about best 20g the beretta a300 is really smooth and has the blink system for really fast sky busting

[@oliverallen1966]

I don’t know what you’re talking about I think they’re way cooler. That’s why John Wick uses it.

[@Paelorian]

@@grimeye1 Oh, I'm not as familiar with the sporting (hunting/target) models. I forgot that they came in 20g. Also 28g, I now see. If the A300 is comparable to the A400, which is the 1301 in a different configuration, then I think the Beretta could be better because I prefer the 1301 to the M2. I like the Blink recoil system. The heart of the gun is better. But I wouldn't use it or recommend it as a fighting shotgun without extensive and expensive modifications. The A300, A350, and A400 all have long 26-32" barrels and short magazine tubes. You'd have to do a lot of modifications to get one sporting models set up in a fighting configuration like the Benellis and the 1301. 18" barrel, full-length magazine tube, optics mount, etc. The A350 and A400 also have 3.5" chambers. Since very few people use 3.5" shells for defense or combat, that's just additional weight and length. The sporting models do have some nice features of their own, though. Factory camouflage options, recoil-absorbing stocks, and larger controls that are helpful for gloved use. People love the Magpul stocks, but the Kickoff recoil absorbing system in the A400 stocks sounds more appealing than stocks without it. But I don't want to fumble around the house with a very long sporting barrel when I'm defending my life. So out of the box, the M2 is probably better. If you cut down the barrel and extend the magazine tube (at minimum), the sporting models could compete favorably. They're also available in 10, 12, 20, and 28 gauges. If someone was to combine the best features of both the sporting/hunting/target and defensive/tactical/fighting models, it might be the best fighting shotgun there is, even giving the Langdon 1301 everybody loves as a combat shotgun a run for it's money. If lacks the recoil-absorbing stock and enlarged controls from the sporting models, which seem useful. But it's much better set up as a fighting shotgun than any of the sporting models. It would be a lot easier if Beretta and Benelli offered the combat shotgun configurations in different gauges, as they offer the sporting models in different gauges. The sporting models are pretty awkward to use for home defense. They're great for their intended sporting uses, though! I'm more of a defensive shotgun guy, and I'm inclined to hunt and target shoot with the same shotgun I have set up for self-defense. I think it's good to build that familiarity and mastery. Perhaps someday I'll buy a shotgun configured exclusively for recreational use, but I'm not ready yet.

[@Hialeah1925]

@@Paelorianwhy do you like the 1301 better than the M2? Also, isn’t the 20g lighter than therefore more susceptible to greater recoil?

[@MM-kv8ly]

Nice review. I just bought one but it's too cold and snowed in to shoot where I live, so I've got to live vicariously through you. Thanks!

[@ChristopherKnN]

If you think the Benelli M2 is near perfection, get your hands on on a Beretta 1301. Smother operation and easier loading. They took the best of the M4, M2, and their competition models and made the 1301.

[@jaya5264]

That’s my next shotgun. Do you have the LTT version?

[@YouTubesucks..]

I got a 1301 on Layaway!!!!

[@darrellm4268]

I own the LTT 1301 as well. It's a beast of a shotgun. Fighting gun right out of the box.

[@ChristopherKnN]

I don't have the LTT. I have the LE version. It already had the +2 and pistol grip stock, but not threaded for choke. I had the barrel threaded for a choke by my local gunsmith for $100 and run a cylinder bore breacher break on it. It saved a nice chunk of cash getting the LE version over the LTT.

[@MKPSG12]

Prepare for double feeds!

[@david_cdt6.7]

[@vananimalable]

Benelli in a few words, "SIMPLY PERFECT" let start by saying, thurly enjoy your candid video reviews. Benelli is my goto shotgun, home defense, field, smashing clays! My favorite is the Benelli LE Vinci Tactical 18.5" 6 RD 12G inertia system, check it out, would luv to see your feedback comparison vs M2. Did I mention you can purchase a speedbolt for this badboy!

[@chinchilla641]

I have an M2 clone in FDE with a 24" barrel and pistol grip as my turkey/waterfowl gun. Comes with a milled picatinny that I put a red dot on. Absolutely love it.

I bought Benelli Super Nova few months back GREAT shotgun!!!

[@stephenwalton7079]

I love my Benelli M1 and now I have to thing the M2 may have to be added to the collection. The. Benellis are truly combat ready and reliable right out of the box. No smithing required. Not a lot of firearms you can say that about. The Winchester 1894 perhaps.

[@troy1249]

I think the Benelli shotguns are the best shotgun as an all in one for defense and versatility and hunting . I want to shoot this one I have the M 4 , great video keep em coming .

[@1977Yakko]

Lots of Italian boomstick vids out lately. Garand Thumb just released on the Beretta 1301 and a rather new comer to the review circuit is a fellow by the name of Pi.Stacheo who reviewed both the 1301 and M4 (with humorous takes).

[@johnwen8810]

I got an M2 tactical several months ago and totally agree with your points. Great shotgun and amazingly light. Had debated between getting the M4 or the M2, and while I think the M4 is an outstanding gun...probably the best home defense/combat shotty out there to date, I found it a tad too heavy and unwieldy for me. The only complaint I have with my M2 is the difficulty in loading the magazine tube. Unlike my supernova, where loading is effortless, I found it takes a lot of effort to push the shells into the magazine tube, frequently pinching my thumb at the portal as I apply force to get the shell in....any suggestions on fixing that?

[@elliotserrano7333]

I just did the Taran Tactical accuguide lifter. Easy install (plenty of YT tutorials) and no more pinch. You can also bend the shell catch a tiny bit ( half a mm ) to help feeding. You can also do a 2 piece shell catch which is what many pros use. Feeds like butter.

[@johnwen8810]

@@elliotserrano7333 thanks for the idea!

[@shirleys1792]

I love mine too, for all the reasons noted

[@MKPSG12]

The M2 just needs the loading port opening up and a solid lifter added and its virtually unbeatable.

I've always wanted a Benelli shotgun, but I went with the Mossberg 930 tactical and I can't say that I regret my decision, so much so I bought two.

[@lazygamer9725]

Mossberg and a rem 870 hard to beat benelli beretta makes fine shotguns as well. I've actually fallen for the CZ shotguns function and price I likem all tho lol

[@JD-tn5lz]

The 930 is a heavy beast in the hands compared to the M2 or M4. Runs filthy too. Have owned all three. The 930 is a good gun, but of the three it's by far the least reliable. The 930's saving grace is that Mossberg customer service is fantastic...never heard any other manufacturer rep say "oh, that part breaks all the time, I'll send two."😁

[@kpatt2006]

I finally tried the AKT1 ear pros. They're terrible, especially for $100. Comfort with those memory foam pads is the only good thing about them. I actually had to try two pairs because I thought the first was defective. I could not believe that the volume knob directly affects how loud gun shots are. Gun shots should be blocked to maximum reduction that the ear muffs are capable of and should not be affected by the volume knob whatsoever. However, with the AKT1, the higher the volume to hear other people, the louder the gun shots. It's absurd. That's the only ear pros I've ever seen do that. I let my brother try them because he didn't believe me. He took them off and was done with them after just 1 shot. FYI: My ear pros comparisons included the Peltor Tactical 300, Walker's Xcel and Razer, Impact Sport, and the AKT1. I kept the peltor tactical 300 + 3M brand $17 gel pads on Amazon for about the price of the AKT1.
