Cawdor118 Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Evening team, I wouldn't mind getting another semi auto as I sold my last for being too long. It was a 28" Benelli M2, it never missed a beat and was a great gun but didn't fit the best in the world. I have held a A400 (not the plus) and it seemed to be nice in the hands. I would be getting a 26" version this time, to take account for the action length. Would you rather a M2 or A400plus? Is the A400 better in camo or black for rust protection purposes (the Benelli liked to rust). Will the A400 run 28gram cartridges? The M2 would cycle 21's (not that i will ever use anything less than 27gram) Are they fussy with cartridges of less than 76mm? Cheers!

Goldfish Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Beretta state their gas piston as being good for 24g to 57g while Benelli state they can't guarantee any load lower than 32g with the M2, I have to say my M2 was great at 30g and above but my Beretta's are good down to 24g every time but do need cleaning every few slabs of cartridges unlike the M2. The Berettas are also very light and pointable where as the M2 seemed more cumbersome Edited December 6, 2020 by Goldfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a (couple of) Benellis and a Beretta s/a. I tend to agree with Goldfish, the Beretta feels lighter and more compact. Benellis don't like light loads (30 g should be ok). For Beretta, just avoid anything shorter than 2 3/4. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
