Considering Benelli for home defense - Page 2

You'll be happy with a Benelli - they are quality firearms. I've had my M1S90 for 6 years so far - bought it new for $1187 - and haven't had any problems whatsoever. My understanding is that the M2 is basically the same only incorporating their new recoil reducing buttstock. Sounds like a win-win to me, and for $990 I'd buy one myself if I didn't already have one.

I own an M2 Tactical. Heres my review:

Benelli M2 Tactical

Benelli is the way to go. They are light, simple, and reliable. No, with light reloads and light tactical loads they don't work well unless you re-work the springs (available as a kit for that use), but who uses that stuff anyway? With half-brass loads they do fine--crisp and quick shot recovery, light recoil, and at a weight comparable to an 870.

If you have the cash, they ARE the way to go. My M1 Tactical and Montefeltro have shot 3 gun matches that rival any reasonable stress test you could imagine--never a hiccup. (wish I could say that about my Bushmasters).

If you have the cash, I'd do it without hesitation. Heck--I have. <g>
