Benelli M3 Super 90: The Ultimate Defensive Shotgun

JJ (along with Slidin&Joe Biden) believes a shotgun is the ultimate arm for home defense. But should you choose a pump for it&unwavering reliability or a semiauto for its shootability, including recoil mitigation and fast shooting properties? For ages, that&been the question among shotgun gurus. With Benelli&M3, however, you don&have to choose because this convertible pump/semi-auto shotgun is both. With a simple flick of a lever near the magazine tube cap, it goes from Semi auto to pump in a second. In this way the shotgun is great for full power loads as a semi-automatic, but it can also cycle low-recoil loads and less-than-lethal rounds that don&have the energy to cycle the stiff inertial spring hidden within the Benelli&ARMI bolt system. If you happen to drop the gun in sand or it&becomes iced, don&worry. Just convert it to pump and win the day. Why Benelli&M3 Super 90 doesn&get more notoriety is baffling. It&perhaps the greatest pure defensive shotgun ever made. And it&surprisingly affordable.
