M1014

the Benelli Practical model is fun as heck to shoot,,back in 98 my friend bought one ,,it just felt and shot better than any of the other shotgun,,you know those rem 1187s 0r wichester autos,the Benelli Practical is a very well thought out gun,,that gun has such sweet factory oversize controls plus a host of other standard features that it makes the gun a joy to shoot,,plus its mag extension for extra fun,,,gunbroker has one for $1400 nib ,, a bit pricy,,only for the desperate,,$1100 to $1300 max nib,,there rare and out of production,the rare Benelli extra long factory mag tube is worth a mint.

the 9+1 24'' version is the hot ticket.

WOW..thats a very rare item your lookin for,,those are the best oversize handles,,there from the factory,,those aftermarket ones don't even compare,,they used to be on gungroker for about $35 a few years back,I bought two and let one go with a tactical model the other see pic below,,,good luck,,,,,,,PS:I bet those m4s nonspin type would fit also,,there the same config.

a gold trigger on a Benelli Practical,cool thought,,,this is for those who have heard of such a fun Benelli,,what blast!!!!!!!!!

they have gold Benelli triggers at brownells,,,fifty bucks

a bit critical,considering you have never heard of the Benelli Practical model,or shot one,,no wad sticking,,just alot of fun.

google porting and you''ll see its advantges and disadvantages,,the advantage outwieghts the disssssssss,,,the first Benelli ported that I know of was there Practical model,,what pleasure to shoot.
