I would (did) definitely get the M2 and/or M4 (and anything else for that matter) over the KSG.
Google “KSG+hand”. |

Hard to go wrong with a Benelli. If you aren't going to hang a bunch of stuff on it I'd get the M2 and take the money you save and put it towards ammo. If you plan on adding a bunch of accessories that adds a lot of weight than the M4 might be a better choice because the gas system it uses isn't affected by extra weight like the inertia system the other Benelli models uses.

Doubt I would add more than a light, collapsing stock and increase capacity. Reading about this 922(R)

At 5' 4" I strongly suggest you check out youth models for fit, and shop for models that have a short or collapsing stock available.
The LOP is going to be a real PITA to deal with |

I was going to get a KSG when they came out...until I saw an article which, unlike almost all others, didn't glow about it. In fact, the writer followed the concept back to a shotgun in South Africa and told have it was patterned after that. No problem so far. Then the author told about how easy it is to "short stroke" a KSG and how difficult it is to get it cleared once that happens. He mentioned how the Remington 870 was idiot-proof (sounds my style) and explained how it was difficult to get it to short-stroke. I bought an 870 shortly thereafter.
Maybe they've fixed the problem, but I don't think so. Maybe someone who is more of a shotgun specialist, which I am not, would like to chime in. |

Benelli M4 or Beretta 1301
I own both and both are excellent Everything else on the market is trying to compete with these two. The 1301 is not offered in a SBS version so my M4 is a 14”  Attached File |

Unless you have to have a Benelli M4, there are clones of it for less than half the money. I love shotguns and have 6 or 7 of them (Benelli M1, Vepr12, Rem 870, Keltec KS7, Moss 590, etc).
I don't know if Benelli M4 is worth the money for me. I'd love to have one, but for the $2k, I can buy a lot of shotguns. Hell, I didn't pay that for my PVS14 and that gives me super powers. I think a great entry into shotguns would be a Lynx12 12ga Saiga clone. For $500-600 bucks, it offers a lot for the money. If I didn't have my Vepr12, I would definitely get one of those. |

I own several M2's M3's M4's a Vinci and 2 super Nova's.
My M2's and M4's have run absolutely great, and I shoot them a lot. I rarely have functional issues, the few I've had were caused by low powered ammo, 1oz under 1300 fps cheapy trap shells. Otherwise high base 2 3/4" and 3" run like a raped ape. Cleaning an M2 is simple, an M4 takes a little more effort. LOP on a pistol grip stock is little long, a field stock cuts it down, slightly more handy. Try and shoot them both before you buy, get a feel for them. You'll figure it out from there. |

Check out the Panzer M4 which is a Benelli M4 clone. I've seen them listed online for $549.99. I don't know what the current price is for a Benelli M4, but when I bought mine several years ago it was at least twice the price of this Panzer M4. With the cost savings you could install a full length magazine tube and most any other upgrade parts. It is said to be compatible with Benelli aftermarket parts.
