tincan Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I am new to Benellli shotguns. I just bought a SBEII. It operates a little differently than my other shotgun. Does pressing the cartridge drop lever (with red dot), uncock the hammer? Can this accidently fire the gun? Is this the preferred method of storing the shot gun? Thanks.

garrett Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 It doesn't uncock the hammer - it just releases a shell from the magazine. If you pull the trigger after pressing the "drop lever", the hammer will still strike the firing pin. I can't see how this would make the gun fire without pulling the trigger.

tincan Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Thanks for the replies. It is a very cool system. One additional question - Will the gun cycle properly after pressing the "drop lever" and then pulling the trigger? I am wondering because I could accidently do this while hunting...until I get totally comfortable with the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - by design. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
