My favorite 12 GA auto. This gun is fun to shoot. If you don't have to buy the ammo I suggest practice, practice & practice some more.

I've had nothing but success with this weapon in training. I've never had to use it on a call but I wouldn't turn this thing down for anything when having to enter a room.

Awesome weapon. The academy my department uses has actually forced our officers to use Remington870's during qualifications. They don't believe a local Sheriff's Office would issue this! Easy to shoot, easy to maintain, and fun to shoot.

i used one in iraq to breach door hinges and door knobs. great piece of gear.

Good solid shotgun when using Highbase loads. The only real downside is trying to practice with light birdshot.

This is my duty gun (All of our PD's shotguns are 14" 870's). It's quick and good in tight places. As far as not being good with birdshot for practice, I use what I will shoot for practice. I must have got taken because mine cost a lot more than $500.

The only faught of this weapon is you have to use a 3" magnum load, anything less and you stand a good chance of the weapon failing to chamber the next round. Practice this in training so you don't learn about it the hard way.

benelli is tops. great quality. no junk here

It gives a good bang for the buck.

I have the Benelli M3 auto/pump shotgun. It only takes 1 second to go from auto to pump for low recoil rounds or 1 second from pump to auto for your good ammo when you really want to put some heat on your target. The Benelli M3 is the best shotgun I have ever had to suit all of my needs.

FIRED THIS ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO IN THE ACADEMY AND LOVED IT. THERE WAS ALMOST NO RECOIL EVEN WHEN FIRED FULLY AUTOMATIC.

Beautiful and reliable tactical shotgun. Minimum recoil, fast target aquisition and easy to combat load. The pistol grip makes this shotgun a breeze to point and shoot.

Benelli is always top quality. Great offensive and defensive weapon.

Great shotgun, but if you expect to shoot it like Tom Knapp or any compition shooter with out using really heavy slug or buckshot loads, expect to send it off for some gunsmithing love.

Awesome Weapon!

IN MY OPINION 5 STARS FOR THE B.M1 SHOTGUN,GREAT TAKE DOWN,AND MOST OF ALL CAN TAKE OUT A DOORS DEAD BOLT IN AN INSTANT,ONE OF MY FAVORIES,GREAT PRICE,
GREAT HANDELING,BENELLI STANDS ALONE IN SHOTGUNS..

Nice weapon

Nice to have weapon for Special Response Team and CQB.

It is like having a canon on your side the best shot gun for swat. The only problem is older less lethal rounds won't cycle the weapon on its own

Because it kicks butt and it makes me feel like a real woman!
