OK. contacted Benelli, got a fast response, they told me to ship in my trigger assembly and they would fix the stiff safety. We'll see how it goes.

We bought the m2. It does kick considerably more than my old broke-in 1100, but not has hard as some pumps i've shot. I like the gun, you can shoot it very quick, it's light, swings well, but the safety is way too stiff. I shot heavy loads for the first couple of boxes and then tried some 1 oz, never missed cycling once. Does anyone know if Benelli has done anything about the stiff safety, I've read on here, it's not unique to my gun.

Shotgun S, I just made the plunge and bought the M2, I've shot about 100 rounds through it, and my safety is way to stiff. What were you refering to when you said you were going to send it to accokeek md. thanks

I am keeping the 1100, the M1 is for my son.. maybe. I guessed it would kick more because of the gas vs recoil, I was just trying to get an idea of how much.

Never shot an M1, but I'm considering getting one. I've been shooting a Remmington 1100 since the early 80's. Groan all you want but I love it, and have never replaced parts or had any trouble with it. My question is, how does the M1 compare to the old 1100 as far as recoil. I shoot ducks, pheasant, quail, dove, and once in awhile a prairie chicken.
