  1. I was looking to buy another semiauto shottie in case they get banned by the Obammunists. This one would be strictly for self defense so I wouldn't really need to use light loads. I am looking at the Benelli M4 or M2 Tactical because I don't have a Benelli yet and have heard great things about them. Here are the advantages I see for each one after researching:

     

    M2 Tactical

    About a pound lighter (6.75 lbs vs 7.75 lbs)

    Greater capacity (5+1 vs 4+1)

    Cheaper by at least $400 (some places $600)

    Comfortech stock option

    Inertia operated system can stay cleaner and easier to field strip

     

     

    M4

    More reliable if you add accessories like lights

    Gas operated system can shoot lighter loads

    Marines use it (possibly more rugged?)

    Less recoil (although I'm not sure if you get the M2 with Comfortech)

    Looks better

     

    It seems like the M4 in black is a hot item and sold out at most places. Also the prices at gunbroker and some shops have gone from about $1550 to over $1800 now. Meanwhile the M2 Tactical can be found everywhere and the one I want is about $1150 (Comfortech stock and non-ghost ring sites). Am I missing something here? It seems like the M2 holds it's own with it being lighter, cheaper and holding an extra round. Many say the inertia system is cleaner and easier to field strip too. Is the big price premium for the M4 because the Marines use it?

  2. Since there seems to be no difference in pattern or accuracy, I think I'm going to get a 28". I was looking at the specs and the SS 28" has an overall length that is the same or longer than most 32" Over/Unders.

  3. I'm set on buying a 12 gauge SS but not sure what length to purchase. I just started shooting trap but also want to get into skeet and sporting clays. I will also use it to hunt birds and wild boar. It seems people like 30"+ for trap and SC but they usually use over/unders. The SS is already longer, so would the 28" be sufficient? Is the 30" actually more accurate than the 28" for longer distances, or do people just get the longer barrel for increased length and weight? If there's no difference in accuracy I'm thinking I should just get the 28" to keep the overall length more manageable. One other thing, I plan to also buy a Browning Cynergy Field over/under eventually and the longest barrel length it comes in is 28". Because I'll be getting that in 28", should I get the SS in 30" to differentiate my guns more?
