Hey guy’s, I’ll get into the details later…If a company sent you this email below, would you consider it a threat? Thanks, Garza

I’m no expert, but something doesn’t look right with this new JKenny latch I bought. Before I go and install it you can clearly see it has no hook on one end. Any one see a problem with this. Without a hook on the opposite end of the button, what to stop a shell from double feeding? Your thoughts! Thanks, Garza Jkenny latch on the left M2 - two piece latch on the right

Awesome! I had a great day to Wifey hooked me up with the perfect gift for the hot summer bbq days.

Wishing all the dad’s out there a Happy Father’s Day!

I like the brown version better. I wonder if they’ll be for sale in the US.

The JKenny was developed for competition use. I ended up buying both the JKenny and the M2 latch to compare. I wanted to see for myself if the $150 JKenny latch is superior to the $45 M2 latch. I can say the OEM latch has gotten a little easier over the past few months to load, but it still doesn’t compare to the M2 latch. I can load shells with the M2 latch installed with my index finger easily. No more Benelli thumb. Knowing what I know now, I would have made the M2 latch one of the first things on the list to upgrade on my M4. In my opinion, $45 well worth it if you’re okay not being able to drill and tap for the larger pad as previously noted. I’m still gonna put the JKenny latch through it’s paces once it arrives and decide which to keep on. Thanks, Garza

I was warned it was going to take a while to get it once purchased, and it definitely has. Even though the website said it was in-stock and immediate shipping, it took three weeks to ship. I just got the tracking number yesterday. So we’ll see how long it takes to get to California from the UK. I’ll update once it arrives.

The button on the 20ga latch is pressed fit. Meaning it free spins. As a single round button, it doesn’t matter which direction it’s pointing. But once you try and attach an oversized button that needs to stay in a fixed position. That’s when you see the problem. I should’ve read the forums before installing. Lesson learned! Trying to figure a way to stop it from spinning, I just haven’t had the time recently.

I’ve heard countless times “if 7-9 shots of 12 ga can’t get me out of a situation, I’m screwed anyways”. But what if the magic number to get you out of the situation is 10, or 11… if done quickly. And if you have NOT practiced manipulating at all, it could be a costly mistake. Bottom line, I spent a few hundred dollars to learn what Unobtanium is giving out for free. Soak it up guys! Thanks, Garza

I like what I’m seeing. I spent 3 hours in a defensive training class a couple weeks ago. And while I thought we we were gonna shoot like crazy (and we did), half of our time was spent on manipulation and reloading. Our trainers motto was “if you ain't shooting, you’re reloading”. And I didn’t understand at first. But he explained that most go to the range and load up their gun, and continue to unload til empty. Put the gun down and wash, rinse, repeat. Guilty as charged! He would have us hit a couple targets and the call out a reload mid shot, and we would have to top the gun off while keeping a timer on for the reload and back on target. The first few times were really bad, I mean like really bad. I was ejecting unspent shells from the chamber, dropping shells onto the ground. A comedy of errors. But we were just not training that way. We learned a valuable lesson that day, and a lot of what he was teaching I’m seeing right here in this video. Awesome video, and for those that aren’t practicing this way, you should incorporate this into your range session. We now practice manipulation and reloading into each and every range session. Valuable info here! Thanks, Garza

Man, I definitely wasn’t getting a golf ball size pattern at 10 yards consistently. A few rounds would pattern that small, but for the most part I was counting the one pellet that would sneak away from the group every five rounds or so. Are you running a choke? Thanks, Garza

Wow. I didn’t experience that at all. But I was shooting at a much closer distance. I used the Federal FC LE132 00 at 10 yards (the distance from my bedroom to my front door), and my shot patterns held at a tight 6 inches through 50 rounds. My daughters bedroom is right off the main entrance, so a tight pattern was must. And this was the first time shooting my new m1014 after a proper clean and lube. Maybe others with a little more shotgun experience will chime in. But I liked that ammo so much I just bought a whole case of LE132 00. Thanks, Garza

I do not have any experience buying pre-order items, but I’ve ordered plenty of in-stock parts this year for my Supernova and M1014. Each item I’ve ordered has been shipped quickly, no quality issues, and all items were as described. I know others on here have had some negative experiences, but all mine have been positive. Thanks, Garza

I like what I see. JKenny latch has been ordered. I’ll let you know how long it takes to get here and my feedback once installed. Thanks SD

It wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me since it’s on the underside, but everyone is different. If you shoot it like it’s meant to be used, that will the minor blemish in the grand scheme of things. It still sucks no doubt, but do you want to be without if for a month or longer for a scratch? Only you can answer that question.
