    Thanks. I learned real quick what y’all mean about hard on the thumb. That’ll definitely be an upgrade really soon.

    Mine does... I have some light target loads for shooting trap. No problems, ever.

    Do be aware of this, but 500g is hardly a hard limit.

    I'm running a 8-shot mag on my 21" M2 and a 11-shot mag on my 28" M2, and neither has any problem running on target loads with the mag full, and that's definitely more than 500g added.

    NB: Buckshot loads generally have waaay more oomph than birdshot loads, which mitigates any added weight...

    I'm weird, I know, but I use a sling whenever possible... The guys at the trap club laugh at me ('til they see that I bust clays consistently).

    I use Benelli's OEM sling loop, which fits over the mag between the nut and the forend. The only problem is that it's only 1" (not 1-1/4"), so my favorite Turner slings don't fit (see weird, above).

    So, I use pseudo-1907 1" slings from World War Supply, because they were the only source for them that I could find (in black).

    I have Ron Browns on two of my black rifles, but for this one I’m thinking a 1-1/4” nylon sling using the existing mounts on the shotgun. The slots seems a bit narrow and I’m wondering if slings with “HK” style clips would work on them.

    If the buttstock is placed against a rigid immovable object when firing will the action fail to cycle? I don't understand these "Inertia Driven" guns and their short infomercial didn't cure that.

    You can put any size loop on the rear swivel, but the OEM Benelli loop for the front is only 1"...

    My 2¢: I don't like the clips, because they twist around too much.

    In theory, yes. Also, if you held the gun loosely, so that it would "free recoil," then AFAIK the action would NOT cycle.

    In a nutshell:

    1. Gun fires. Gun recoils. Bolt stays put, compressing fat spring inside bolt, and keeping the action shut long enough for the pressure to subside.

    2. Gun reaches end of recoil, the fat spring inside the bolt drives the bolt rearward, cycling the action.

    It sounds complicated, but it simply WORKS, and it keeps combustion gasses and powder residue out of the action (unlike gas guns).

    I'm a big fan of Specter Gear's Benelli slings.

    Thanks! I’ve never heard of them before. But that’s pretty much exactly what I’m looking for.

    I think I’m gonna hold off a minute on the red dot. The ghost rings are pretty quick to get on target and I like them.
    Once I get the sling and a light it’ll be good to go.
