Yowch.
The only way it could bite the hand that feeds it more efficiently is for Benelli to sharpen the shell carrier prior to installation. My Montefeltro 20 doesn't bite like the M2. What gives, Benelli? Is this problem limited to the M2? I replaced the OEM part with a Taran Tactical Carrier and the difference is startling.

Good question and not the first time it has been asked (and its not just the M2. Other models and brands often have that forked tongue designed shell carrier).
Conventional thinking is that the designers think the carrier need the groove to center the shell in the action for feeding (and that's the way they've always made them), but as we've seen from countless welded up carriers that aint the case. |

I'm convinced most gun designers don't shoot much. I may be wrong but that Benelli designer hasn't been stabbed by his fork enough! When they do shoot I bet its very Fudd like.

I'd guess that 90% of M2 sales are still hunters or casual shooters who aren't cramming shells in the gun as fast as they can. The carrier is a common complaint from tactical/3 gun shooters, but I bet Benelli doesn't hear it from a large enough percentage of buyers to actually make a production change.
The Performance Shop 3 Gun M2's come with a welded carrier, so they should know it's an issue for 3 gun shooters. |
