I have run thousands of rounds through mine. Operates flawlessly, points very well, handles recoil well. I recommend it highly.

I've shot the Benelli M4, its one of the greatest shotguns I've used, smoth, flawless functioning and maintenance is a breeze. The only thing I don't care for is the collapsible stock they offer, it only has two positions, other than that they are great buy, I've been looking into getting a Supernova Tactical

If 3.5 isn't important to you, go for it.

I have one, and I absolutely love it! I've used for clays, doves, ducks, varmints, geese, and hogs. I've gotta say it really shines on the doves and ducks!

My dad's M2 is pretty good, but I personally prefer the SBE, if only because it feels more natural to me.

I have an M2 that has shot flawlessly through the years. I had to return it for a broken weld on the barrel right at first. then a couple years later I noticed a crack in the metal on the back of the trigger guard. I dont know how it happened, I've never dropped it. As far as functioning it has been great a great gun.

I'm a lefty and was looking at the M2 d/t the fact it's the only "quality semiauto shotgun" made in LH now. But not sure I want to spend that much. I've been looking at the Mossberg 930?! Half the cost, and from what I hear, very dependable. Just my 2cents. For the cost of a M2, I can get a 20 and a 12!

Are you interested in a Benelli Tactical: No sir it would be for bird hunting. If your talking about a home defense gun.

would it be better to save $500 bucks and get the supernova?? Only you can answer that question...you want the pump or the auto? Both are probably going to do what you want from them. If you decide to shoot clay games you will probably end up buying an auto later.

Have always had M1 series, recently acquired an M2 and have shot several hundred rounds through it and it's fantastic...

Buy the Mossberg 930 first and try it for a few seasons than trade it in for the M2 ,. You will really appreciate the M2 later. Just my 2cents. Been there.

I went through a lot of shotguns before I settled on my favorite, the Beretta 390. I owned an M2 for awhile and it functioned flawlessly. The M2 will handle an extended magazine tube Briley makes. Great guns!
I go to Bone Daddy's for the burgers....yeah, that's why.
