My friend broke 2 or 3 DMW's charging handles. Dave was always quick to replace them, but they probably shouldn't be breaking in the first place.

I'm thinking about having it slung in front of me for 18 hours during a 2 day shotgun class. If you do a couple of those, I guarantee you're gonna rethink your accessories.
Not everyone here is an 80 lb weakling. As others here have written, when the Zombies come, you wont be thinking so much about what it weighs!

I have some extra 3 Gun Gear 8 round sidesaddles with die cut velcro if you'd want one. $24 with free shipping, just send me a PM. They want something like $8 for shipping

Just stick some industrial velcro on your buttstock then stick an OSOE or Raven shell card on there. Problem solved.
Take a defensive shotgun class, and you'll see running brass on your buttstock isn't advisable.
-
Stick some velcro on the receiver and a Raven Concealment 4 round card and it's not heavy at all. The buttstock is too far away from the receiver to do quick portloads/slug changeovers.
-
What's wrong with a receiver shell holder?
-
Wrapping your gun in drawer liner looks way worse than a few scratches.

Did little to nothing........
Complete waste of funds.
Didn't see that coming at all.

Just to expand on what truckcop said, the M3 has the ability to be both pump and semi auto because many of the less lethal rounds don't have enough oomph to cycle a semi auto. Not very practical for civilians, which is why you don't see them very much. The M2 is the superlative choice between the two.

I'd check out the Inforce WML.

So what was the point of even posting?
What's the point of complaining about my post? Continue with your nerdgazm dreams of impaling someone with your tactical a pple corer.

I'll pass on this stuff.

I can't shoot something until I know who/what it is, know your target and back stop and all that.
Night sights do nothing for target identification. If it's dark enough to need night sights, it's dark enough to need a flashlight. And if it's dark enough to need a flashlight, night sights get washed out from the beam.
Night Sights on a home defense weapon is a HUGE advantage! In my opinion, as important if not more so, than a light.Well worth the money.

I don't like the VTAC, the leash gets in the way. The best sling out there is the VCAS by Blue Force Gear.
I don't see anyone using 3 point slings any more, and a 1 point sling on a pig like a Benelli M4 seems like a bad idea. Someone called a 1 point sling a "pendulum of pain".
Larry Vickers has some thoughts on slings:
-
I own both. Could never get the SLP to run reliably with birdshot. I have tried both pistons. The stock is too long and there are no shorter stocks available. Fit and finish are first rate. It sits in the safe.
-
The Vickers VCAS sling is the gold standard.

Last time I checked, coupon code "NEWSLETTER" got you an extra 10% off.

No slide to rack (requires certain level of arm/hand strength), almost no malfunctions to deal with, easily manageable trigger etc. We went down this path, starting with a Sig P226. She shot the P226 quite well but couldnt rack the slide. For some shooters a revolver is the right choice.
16 bullets already in the gun without a reload and a 7 pound grigger vs. 3 reloads for a revolver and a 12 pound trigger. Oh well, I'm done trying to figure you two out.

We found a suitable .357 revolver that she can handle well and enjoys shooting. This also allows the option of carry, which is challenging with a long gun. She has become reasonably proficient with this and I now refer to her as "Dirty Harriett."
How is a .357 Magnum revolver easier to handle than say, a Glock 19?

This is a backup HD gun. Primary is a pistol. I will train with this a few times a year and it will sit in the corner waiting to fulfill its mission the other 361 days of the year.
We use pistols because we can't carry long guns everywhere. That's the only reason. Pistols suck in general. They shoot weak bullets, and they're hard to hit with.
So why you'd pick one of those over your awesome Benelli for home defense, I have no idea.
Training 4 times a year really isn't training. But good luck either way.
-
Well that is certainly impressive looking.
I'm gonna make a comment, which I hope you do not take it negatively. It's not meant to be disrespectful. But have you noticed, in general, on the range and in online photos and videos, the noobs pile on the accessories, and the pros have stripped down guns. That's what we call a "clue". You spend a bunch of time on the range, moving around and shooting stuff, all the extra weight is gonna get old fast.

I thought the word was out on those Sidearmor rails being too bulky and heavy.
-
H20's had 'em.
Past tense, and they won't sell you a collapsible stock now, and before the H2o they wouldn't just sell you a collapsible stock.

I'm not sure what US law enforcement entity uses SAWs.
I really have to stop having conversations with internet gurus whose weapons education is from Call Of Duty.
M4 in France today
in Benelli
