Some of us will have much less on than that.

Unfortunately we all won't likely have the time to LARP it out and spend ten minutes kitting out to engage a problem like a Schwarzenegger assembly montage. You'll be lucky to even have your shoes on when something goes down at night. Having a bandolier draped over the shotgun isn't a bad idea. I have another bandolier that I leave in a fall back location. Side saddle arrangements are a good system for having shells with the shotgun. The velcro systems are the best.

No traces of drugs or alcohol in his system, hit many times center mass and he still wasn't slowing down. That's incredible! No such thing as too much ammo.

Running out of ammo in the middle of a shit storm is a real bitch. Don't ask me how I know. I'll let this guy tell you: That's exactly what it's like however my help was via a neighbor calling 911 not via a radio call. This guy had two rounds left at the end of the incident, I had one round left, it was very close. https://www.police1.com/officer-shootings/articles/why-one-cop-carries-145-rounds-of-ammo-on-the-job-clGBbLYpnqqHxwMq/#:~:text=Before the call that changed Timothy Gramins’ life,Now%2C he carries 145%2C “every day%2C without fail.”

I did the 7s and was sure to cut the velcro to not obstruct the trigger pin. Another thing to keep in mind is that the shotgun cards can fit in a chest rig meant for 556 mags as well. ala TFBtv's Combat Shotgun Setup video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sro9uUOL0vM&t=84s

That's very cool?

Thanks for the info, @Sukhoi_fan. For the reasons you listed I’ve been thinking about trying out an Esstac set-up on my M4. Of the various sizes available, I get that round count will be up to the individual purchaser but, is there a max size that fits in the logical location on the M4 (ex.- Don’t buy larger than 5-round because the 6&7-round cards are too long to reasonably fit on the receiver)?

Copied from a similar thread on AR15.com: What you have there is a factory-made M1 Benelli barrel ordered by Benelli USA for use in the Entry Model, but never actually cut to 14”. NFA firearms are not importable for civilian sale, so as a workaround, Benelli USA orders and imports from Benelli ITA as an 18” model with the sights installed for 14” length, just as you observed, then cuts to 14” and Form 2 registers as an NFA SBS. Never seen one make it out of the factory, pretty cool. ETA: Benelli doesn’t really position their NFA shotguns for civilian sales per se and the Entry models could be imported directly as NFA guns, however there is a ton of additional paperwork involved and the imported NFA guns become the practical equivalent of a pre-may dealer sample MG. This workaround is perfectly legal, smooths the distribution workflow and allows the resulting gun to be transferable rather than only available to LE and SOTs. That barrel is certainly an oddity to most people, but is worth a premium to a Benelli M1/M2 owner looking to Form 1 their gun into an SBS.
