I shot a standard Benelli M1 in competition sporting clays and skeet for 12 years. 5-8000 rounds a year. Replaced one extractor after it wore out, but before I had a failure, still hunt ducks, quail, and grouse with it every year. I guess you could say I like Benelli.

Say what you will, benelli is a tried and true workhorse. Lemons happen, man make things and has a bad day every now and again - benelli guns hold their own and have spanned the competition in recent years, and it ain't because if marketing. It's because guys like me that have hunted the hell out if them right next to wingmasters, and other staples in the field, and they have proven their worth.

You buy a benelli and treat it like your daddy taught you, and that gun will knock birds down and be there when you are ready to pass it on.

This he said she said bull is for the birds, benelli is for knocking them down.. Nurse on it.

My first Benelli M1 would do that to me every once in a while. One time I called in 2 huge gobblers for a buddy and I. On count to 3, I was gonna take left and he was gonna take right. Well my gun doesn't fire and he rolls his. Probably the most depressing hunting trip of my life. Buddy's tom had 4 beards. I hunt with a crack barrel 10 gauge now to ensure something like this never happens again.

The extractor rotates when it closes chamber. And it doesn't fully rotate sometimes. I'm sure the Franchi is similar. Have you brought to gun shop?

ha sorry, I have had two buddies with franchis and one brought his to the gunsmith so much, he told him that if it breaks one more time to throw it away because he is tired of working on it..

So in my opinion i have heard and seen nothing but problems from this gun.. and from the feel of this gun it seems to be very cheaply made..

Might as well spent the extra $$$ for one of the guns that everyone else has been talking about on here.

I havent brought it to the shop... It has only done this to me a few times before i realized what it was doing. didnt know if there was a tighter spring you can add to it to keep it closed at all times. I have a bad habit of fidling with the chamber when no birds are around so i had to quit doing that 1st. 2nd i was placing the the gun with the chamber down on my shoulder during slow times... guess when i unshouldered it pulled back just enough for the pin not to catch. Didnt know if someone had experience with a gunsmith who solved this problem?!!?!?!?

If you replace the cocking actuator handle with the big heavy tactical one from an M-3 it will add some weigh t and reduce this. 35.00 fix. Or just get used to checking the bolt until the gun wears in a few thousand rounds later.

I ended up buying the new A400. I told the guy at shooters I wanted to check out the SBE 2 and the A400 with intentions on buying the beretta....He picked up the Benelli first and went to check the chamber and the gun jammed, I held the gun and it didn't feel right to me. Moved onto the Beretta and knew it was gonna be mine. I've done some clay shooting 2 times since I got the gun, shot about 100rds of 2 3/4 1 1/8oz trap shot and have no problems yet. The gun is awesome and swings and shoots very well. With that load I literally feel no recoil at all...I'm sure it will be amplified with a 3.5 mag load for goose hunting or even a 3" #2 load but if I'm feeling almost nothing with a 2 3/4 then I should be plenty happy. I'll be shooting again this week so I plan on trying out some different rounds to see how it handles em. Oh and it also cycled the 2 3/4 as fast as I could pull the trigger. Love my new gun and it came with a pretty nice case also.
