I keep a handgun and an AR-15 in my bedroom for self-defense purposes. The reasons behind this will be discussed at length in a later video.
That said, if I for reasons wanted to use a shotgun for home defense, it would without question be my Benelli M4 and here are the 5 reasons why.
However, as important as the type of gun is when it comes to home defense, it's also about the training and ensuring you're prepared.
That's why I'm a USCCA member.
It's an easy way to cover all my bases if I ever had to use my gun in self-defense.
I could find myself in a costly legal case to prove that me using my gun was justified.
The beautiful thing about a USCCA membership is that you don't just get self-defense insurance; you also get access to their treasure trove of education and training programs.

This gun is no joke, it left me with over 2000$ in credit card debt and eating only one meal a day
Thats actually good for you well the diet part lmao
😂 I agree I love my H2O
Sounds worth it
Buy once, eat once :-)
That is the true danger of modern firearms.
Coliin has so many home defense setups he had to start a new training regimen…not on quick drawing, but on quick decision making
He needs to buy more Real Estate to practice other scenarios, not just duck fishing or fish hunting in the fatal funnel
HOME defense. The M4 is great, but too much barrel for an interior space. I'll stick with my KSG.
Making decisions quickly is very important. Both in driving (street and track) as well as with weapons, I've learned that hesitation itself can kill.
@@bigguy7353 Are you CLEARING your house? Unless you got kids to look after, just hold position in your bedroom with your gun or at least with a clear line of sight into the hallway and call the cops.
His subscriber and view counts might attract a lot of equipment sponsors. You can't fit them all into a single home defense setup.
Another reason for the m4 is because you can own it in California, if you are unfortunate enough to live there, without having to neuter it, and you have an extremely capable semi auto gun in a state where it is hard to own anything. I'm honored to have it as my first ever firearm.
You can own it but you'll be crucified if you use it for anything other than target practice
@@CaptainRudy4021 they'd probably crucify for just loading it
Benelli supernova is 500 And change that be a better choice for Hd.
@@CaptainRudy4021 at the country club only
if you make less than $500k a year it won't matter you'll be considered
on the other team, lol
The problem with commifornia is that they are ignoring the
Restrictions/Directives of the Constitution when they pass state legislation.
I shot the Beneli M4 in 2002 when I was in the Marines. The Marines just started using it. Very easy to use and is extremely tactile. You can either load it from the bottom or the side. After shooting it, my plan was when I ever by a shotgun, it would be my shotgun of choice.
Any opinion on the pistol grip vs standard? Got some family members chipping in for a milestone birthday for our Dad. Want it to be a surprise so unsure which way to go.
My go-to home defense shotgun is my Remington 870 with 18” barrel. Because… it’s the one I have. Times are tough. I’m sticking with it!
Congratulations 🎊 you have been selected as a great winner Kindly send a direct message Above to acknowledge your prize.,.........Thanks❤️
Nothing wrong with that choice.
My mossberg 500 does the job as well 🤙
Same here🙌🏾
Same reason I still have my Mossberg 500. It cost me under $500 fully kitted out with a Knoxx SpecOps stock, reflex sight, and aftermarket forend with a light. If I had the money, I might go with a Benelli, but it's more likely I'd buy a box-mag bullpup 12-gauge for half the price and spend the rest on a rifle...or ammo.
Finally, some more Benelli M4 praise. I love this thing so much.
Does suck having to spend $3000 to fully kit it though.
@@InexorWoW realistically after purchasing. You would need lottery money to wear it out. So it's a one time purchase
@@docholliday3666 Buy once, cry once. And shotguns don’t wear out very quickly given they’re pretty robust, have smoothbore barrels (so no need to worry about rifling wearing out), and shotgun shells are pretty low pressure.
I fell in love with from my old service days with the M1014. Years ago before I got into 3 gun shooting, I was looking for a shotgun to fill that void. As fate may have it, one of my local FFLs had 2 and picked one up. My only regret was not buying both when I had the chance.
Congratulations 🎊 you have been selected as a great winner Kindly send a direct message Above to acknowledge your prize.,........Thanks❤️
I own an M1014 and did not need another, but an M4 14" SBS showed up in my online search 3 years ago and I bought it immediately. One of the best decisions I ever made. VERY rare and worth big bucks. Both are superb Shotguns. The 1014 is accurate at longer range, but for CQB and home defense, the SBS is king!
All of our regrets is that you didn’t. It both of them. Can you imagine a new York reload on two of these
Benelli M4 is great and all but spending $3k to fully kit it with the good stock, light mount, red dot, tube extension, 922R (if you care enough), this is speaking from experience. Once you have one though, e very other shotgun seems dumb but a break action.
Same, I went crazy on the mods for mine but I still love my Mossberg 590 Pump
Must have been a minute since you bought your kit (or the world is sane again since the last time I attempted to buy one) ; about a year and half ago I purchased one and $3K was there price for the base package straight out of the crate direct from Italy. Except my order was cancelled; they couldn't import them fast enough or in large enough quantities to meet the demand and the crate my local sporting outfit had reserved either fell through after the fact or was oversold from pending backorders. I got a bead on one in Texas and it was running the same price point. And this was through an associate of a friend. Also was gone by the best day or two by the time I responded. So, they were running that price stock, before w even consider the beating the dollar has taken recently with regards to inflation. I couldn't get one at any cost while shouting, "take my money" and eaving cash in the air, metaphorically speaking. Except for the cash part. I was offering cash to anyone that could get my hands on an M4 in any condition. Maybe three market is sane again, but I'm not holding my breath.
What tube extension did you use
Had mine for 3 years. Not one upgrad. It's uneeded.
Bought the m1014 for 1,600. Then got the regal metalworks 6 position tube for 150. 200 for the 7 round tube from fft. Nowhere near 3k.
I asked my 82 y/o friend at work who ran competitions what he would recommend as the best all around home defense weapon he would choose. He said if I had the money, the Benelli M4. My wife got one for my birthday and I now know why he recommended it.
590A1 is a good choice. It is a beast and holds quite a few rounds. Might need some muscle tho as it definitely has weight to hold tactically for a lengthy period of time.
I have both and I jump to the Benelli now a days.
My wife likes it because it recoils lighter and it is just reliable
The 590 platform also takes the easy conversion to use the Aguila 1-1/2" Mini Shells. At home defense ranges the #1B/#4B duplex load is still effective with, I think 27 pellets. And accepts 13-14 rounds of availability.
I Love my 590
Don't forget the bayonet lug
Nahhhh man keep that garbage....
My go to tool for home defense is a secret. My dad always told us to never let another person know what you are thinking. But I love running my M4.
Congratulations 🎊 you have been selected as a great winner Kindly send a direct message Above to acknowledge your prize.,..........Thanks❤️
Wait did you just telll is you had a cannon aimed at the front door. Epic 😂😂😂😂
How long do you leave your M4 running?
With or without the A/C on?
Great gun, I've had mine since 96. I've owned several shotguns but my M4 is the one I've never thought of getting rid of
Wait...so you thought of getting rid of a gun?? 😂😂
@@ToddWells_Official yeah, I've sold a couple I wasn't really happy with or in love with
@2 B REALLY
I’m a big fan of the Benelli M4, I have one but that Beretta 1301 is pretty excellent as well. Cheaper too
1301 is the new way to go. Just will never have the military use the M4 had.
My 1301 comp is much better at speed loading. And though considered faster than the M4 with it's blink system. Has more felt recoil then my M4's dual gas system. Home defense choice owning both, my bedroom has held my M4 for several years and my range gun is the 1301. Self defense loads (00 buck and slugs) versus target loads.
Stoeger m3000 has entered the chat
@@Persuasian338 agreed, but excellent shotgun nonetheless👍🏼 Of I could afford both, I would
@CʜᴀᴍᴘᴀɢɴᴇPᴀᴘɪ(ᴅʀɪᴢᴢʏ) Beretta makes sweet pistols ppl in the army bash em but that's cuz they are old a mistreated if it was a brand new m9 a3 with night sights they prolly wouldn't complain
I have a Beretta 1301 Tactical set up for home defense. Great shotgun!
The M4 is an awesome shotgun and I love it; however, my Mossberg 590 is my go to. I can come out of a sleep and be able to use it without though. I will say I have many, many hours on a 590 and not nearly as many on a Benelli M4. My second choice is the M4.
As a former police officer I just can’t let my old pump go. I have trained so much on it, it is second nature. Muscle memory I guess. That being said I will probably buy a benelli m4 lol. Looks like so much fun!
If you have the training for it, then pump is absolutely the way to go(cheaper and more reliable mechanically). It's just people like me that don't use shotguns much, but use rifles plenty, that get more out of semi-auto shotties.
This the right answer, do not trust an auto with my life. Pump all day
@@drdwgmd14 That's like saying you don't trust your semi-auto handgun or AR15, so you will choose a revolver or a bolt action rifle instead.
Nothing wrong with that. Gun handling is what makes a professional and you are more intimate with working your pump shotgun. That’s how I am with my 870. I know it inside out. I recently got a beretta 1301 tactical but I am not proficient with it like I am the 870. I need more “time on the gun”. And yes m4’s and 1301’s are fun! You’ll be happy with either one.
Also a cop here. When I started, we weren’t issued an AR, but every patrol car had a Remington 870. We went through a lot of shotgun training in the academy and then during our regular qualification course. There is just something comforting about hearing that slide rack when trouble is brewing.
I love my Mossberg 930. Ive noticed I can run really light loads in that and still have it cycle and I can also run the heaviest buckshot and turkey loads without it punishing my shoulder. I was looking at the Benelli m4 until I came across my 930. Maybe one day I'll pick up a Benelli m4 just because of its role it plays throughout history. It is one badass shotgun
Congratulations 🎊 you have been selected as a great winner Kindly send a direct message Above to acknowledge your prize.,.........Thanks❤️
I have the same shotgun and I have the Mossberg Blackwater 930 SPX. The only problem is it is capable of jamming using the button that unloads the magazine. I have done it several times. So in my opinion my old Remington 870 is more trustworthy and reliable. I would like to get a Benelli M4 myself someday. At $2000 they are a little pricey.
Too much barrel for an interior space. M4 is great, just not indoors. Also, get a butt pad for your shotgun. Eases the shock on your shoulder.
@@bigguy7353 like I tell everyone, if your worried about recoil then don't buy a shotgun
You can make your 930 into a 940.? Like a Jim pro. A few parts If you change the gas piston as well on the 930. You can run a lot more rounds before a cleaning.
I’m a middle age late to gun ownership guy. I chose the Benelli M4 as my first and only shotgun. Positives : shoots like a dream. Like CN said it feels like a rifle. The lack of recoil is impressive. Negative: not intuitive around loading and unloading. I’m happy w my choice but I’ll need lots more practice before I feel competent using it as my go to home defense.
I have the 7 round tube and with ghost loading one extra round, I get nine. So 9 rounds of #00 Buck should do the trick. You are correct, loading is a little slower than other semi-auto shotguns and I still have to think about what I'm doing, most people get the Beretta 1301 for three gun competitions due to the ease of reloading.
The m4 was my first shot gun i bought 14 years ago, its a amazing gun and fun to shoot, and ive said this before, to me, it even has a different sound thats completely different than other semi automatic shot guns
I have a Super Nova and I love it but it is optimized to shoot 3.5" Super Magnums for hunting high flying waterfoul with steel shot. The long cycle offers comes at the cost of fast action and your won't be shooting 3.5" shells for home defense.
I bought a Security Maverick 88 for less than the price to put an 18.5" barrel on my Benelli; say what you will it's actually a much more natural platform for defensive shooting.
I also have an old 18" Winchester 1200 which is excellent in the role of the defensive shotgun.
My Mossberg 9200 was the first semiauto shotgun I'd ever had back in 1997.
I had to sell it 6 years later though but it never jammed on me when hunting.
I love my titanium M4 and regularly run 50-60 rounds of 00 and slugs through it with zero shoulder issues or soreness. Love ARGO.
IVE GOT 4 M'BERG SHOCKWAVES, ALL WITH MAGS('SPECIAL LOADS'😁), MY HOME DEFENSE FIRST LINE, THEN MY .50 CCW
While I have shot the Benelli in 3-gun my go to home defense shotgun, until recently, was a Mossberg 590 and having shot it in 3-gun and trained to use it, I am comfortable running a pump. As a matter of fact, I sometimes falter with a semi-auto as I try to operate the pump, just the opposite of what you did while you were waiting for your pump to cycle. Now I have a 590S Shockwave that feeds 1 3/4 inch shells and is much more comfortable to corner in my house while I am clearing it, it's kind of like an oversize handgun, well, actually it is.
I was in a firearms safety class years ago. Something the instructor said has stayed with me all these years "If someone breaks into your home, it doesn't matter how old they are or where they're from. Everyone knows what the sound of a shotgun means."
Ak's have a similar sound lol
Don't have to rack it , when its loaded.
Lets not spread this shotgun sound myth more, please...for the love of god...
It is no myth, unless the intruder is the most stupid uniformed human on earth. So what is the myth?
In my house, they wouldn’t hear a thing…
Your production value is off the rails. Sensational.
Man I love my M4. The biggest downside is the cost to upgrade parts.
Congratulations 🎊 you have been selected as a great winner Kindly send a direct message Above to acknowledge your prize.,........Thanks❤️
Not only expensive but hard to find .
No need for an M4 when there is the Mossberg 930 around, the Benelli M4 killer, both in price and function.
There’s nothing you need to upgrade. It’s perfect already
@@Enemy_Operator2534 how does it function better??
The manual transmission analogy was beautiful. It's completely true.
If you want to use a shotgun for home defense make sure you make a good choice on your ammunition; #4 Buckshot was determined by FBI ballistic testing to be the best shotgun ammunition regarding home defense as it is lethal at defensive ranges, pattern well out of a cylinder bore, and had the minimum risk of over penetration. While the FBI found the .223/5.56x45mm was the best round in general for home defense as it was lethal and had the minimum past penetration distance of the rounds tested. 00 Buckshot penetrates much greater than #4 Buckshot and is able to travel through enough wall structures to equate to 2+ houses when it is not stopped by a body with slugs (12 ga.) being able to actually go past 4 houses of equivalent walls. Oddly pistol caliber ammunition’s were also quite prone to over penetrate when a body was missed.
Our department and our co-training department also did quite a bit of independent ballistic testing and found similar results; we still standardized 00 Buckshot for most of the time, however warrant service in homes emptied and reloaded #4 Buckshot. Personally I too prefer an AR pattern rifle for home defense but do run 3-gun competitions and have a tactical shotgun (Remington 870 police special with tritium night sights) which doubles up as a home defense backup, it is loaded with #4 Buckshot with 00 Buckshot set up on a side saddle and slugs set up on a stock saddle.
Whatever you choose practice as I’ve seen people that have, under stress, forgot to pump the shotgun. You can also keep a shotgun patrol ready, which can be a bit safer than keeping a round chambered; patrol ready involves closing the action on a verified empty chamber, loading the magazine tube, then pulling the trigger, this leaves the slide unlocked and simply requires racking to load a round. If you choose to keep a round loaded then that’s fine to.

That’s the thing most people don’t realize - 00 buck is scary for your backstop as well as your target. Even though it’s what I have stocked up on too because it’s the most available.
And you trust the fbi?
@@RosaParksWasWyt: I believe in the old saying trust but verify and frankly from what I’ve seen their trust can’t be verified. I will add I don’t believe in trusting any government agency or organization as a whole as the tendency for absolute power is to corrupt absolutely and frankly government, at least what we see in the US today appears to be quite absolutely powerful; government for a great part has moved well beyond the actual enumerates powers of the constitution to simply doing whatever it so chooses even if that violates the amendments, which is frankly unsustainable as far as freedom goes.
That said I will trust individual people over an agency while unsolved understanding agencies can bring incredible pressure to bare to get people to comply with what it wants, be it citizens or workers, so you should always have your eyes open. I’ve been in law enforcement for decades and have held jobs from a uniform member of the service to a masters level professional and must say the criminal justice system relies on the people more than the law to stay just and unfortunately the people can fail which can be so much worse than any bad law or laws. When people stop following the overriding idea of the constitution and freedom everything starts to unravel and the regular citizenry starts to suffer.
I would suggest pulling the trigger to unlock the slide first, then loading the tube.
I bought the Panther clone and after over 1,000 rds have never looked back. Just a Terrific firearm and just plain fun to shoot. And at a fraction of the cost. Later bought my son one and runs perfectly.
The M4 is a great tactical shotgun . The one big thing they did that messed it up was what they did with the magizine tube making it far more expensive and difficult to install an extended magizine tube. This is where the M2 sines for less money. ( although both are over priced compared to other great semi auto self defense shotguns)
If you like the m4 or m2 you really should try a FNH SLP 12 gage semi auto. It is a truly great shotgun. And for 3 gun competition check out the XRAIL M2 semi auto shotgun and remove the need to reload all together. It is a 28+1 round rotary fed semi automatic 12 guage. Or you can get just the xrail system and install it to your favorite shot gun in 16 to 25 rd options.
But the m4 is a proven tank for sure
Italian here. This week I got one used but in mint condition for 800 € (the choke and the fab defense handguard alone are worth around 200 €).. I got extremely lucky because the previous owner got his license revoked so he needed to get rid of all his weapons quickly. It's an intimidating piece of italian beauty. I'm very proud of my purchase
I prefer the semi-auto for this app too. Storage environment is optimum so odds of a jam is very, very low and after a couple thousand rounds practice you better able to handle it. I have an additional mag within arms reach but if I can't stop someone or three with the first six rounds of 00 buck inside then it's on me.

I can understand what Colin is saying about not being able to operate a pump shotgun under stress but if you're like me the only type of shotgun you've ever really used is a pump action. So struggling to operate one for me isn't really a concern. But he did make a few genuinely good points I might have to look into getting myself a Benelli m4.
Congratulations 🎊 you have been selected as a great winner Kindly send a direct message Above to acknowledge your prize.,............Thanks❤️
Colion, As a retired LEO, I can run a pump action very well under any conditions. It all comes down to training, training repeatedly will effectively allow you become very proficient with pump actions. In the Marines I carried an M16a1 and a Remington pump action, both are very deadly in the hands of those that train, train, train. Thanks for all you do. Gbwy
I have a Benelli M4. Was shooting it a couple of days ago. It is a really smooth shooter. Love it.
The only problem with the M4 is the initial cost of the gun.
I realize that it is a high quality firearm, but it is about twice the price that it should be, and I guarantee you they could still make a great profit at half the price it currently sells for.
Congratulations 🎊 you have been selected as a great winner Kindly send a direct message Above to acknowledge your prize.,........Thanks❤️
Nahhhh us M4 owners we good here 🥃
Consider a Panzer Arms M4, 1/4th the price and you just need to completely strip it down to clean some of the machine filings and crap oil.
Careful with other Turkish M4s cause the bolt carriers can be made of soft metal that deforms from the pistons slapping them. Sometimes the pistons can also be soft metal.
I got 4 Panzer M4s and couldn't be happier. Yeah it was a ton of work to completely strip all of them down but now I got 4 M4's for the price of one.
Oh yeah make sure to replace the O-Rings in the gas system too since they are soaked with trash oil.
@@aflacduck2 That's the best part that I like, plus I use stones & files to smooth things out a bit. I enjoy making a gun better then when I bought it. Talking about cheaper options than the Ben. M4 & other such guns.
Now I do have guns I will not do that to but Turkish guns are not one of them.
I carried the M1014 in Iraq ‘08. First time I trained with it, I mag dumped into three targets effectively, I got the nod to carry it and sent me to the RUC Line right away lol. Used it for security work and breaching doors. That collapsible butt stock was clutch as we had those juggernaut of plate carriers back then.
Never owned a semi automatic shotgun, always owned pump action and through many years of use I've become very good with it. My go to home defense shotgun, Benelli Nova pump gun. After my 45ACP Springfield Armory XD.
I'm a Remington 870 fan. I like the sound of the pump action. It's a deterrent in and of itself.
I have their m2. It is smooth. Use it for hunting for various game and whatever else. Being able to switch out the choke tubes for different patterns it great. Benelli is a great gun. Should do a video on choke tubes for home defense and different size shells (ie 2 3/4" and 3") along with the shot size.
be careful though dude......
I had e-mailed Benelli directly a few days ago about my situation about being safe to shoot both 00-Buck and Rifled Slugs from the same choke tube. They were nice enough to respond back and told me, that both the "Improved Cylinder" and "Cylinder" chokes (with 4 and 5 notches on them respectfully) are the only ones that's safe to shoot both ammo types from the same choke without having to swap-out to another.
@@DrQuagmire1 that is strictly a shot shell gun. I have a designated slug gun for hunting with slugs.
@@SandW6384 if you're using Sabot Slugs, then yeah, since hunting shotgun utilizes fully rifled barrels. while tactical shotguns (whether pump or semi-auto) can fire Rifled Slugs through a smooth-bore barrel with using an Improved Cylinder/Cylinder choke tube installed
I appreciate the combination of gun review contact and content that provides us the information we need to defend our right to defend ourselves in the state we live in. Keep going. You’re doing good for all of us!
I'm appalled to see that you haven't put the mag tube extension on it yet lol. After watching your videos for well over 5 years now, that would have been the first thing I expected you to do, even before the red dot.
I like automatic shotguns and your video brings up several good points. Having said that… some of us grew up with pump shotguns and we know them very well 😊.
My confidence is high when I’m armed with what works for me. I imagine everyone else feels the same way even if our platforms are different…
As much as I love my 870 tactical express, this video has me wanting a semi-auto.
Check out the beretta 1301 tactical
YA, The rate of fire is impressive compared to a pump gun.
@@NoWr2Run Yeah, that’s what impressed me.
I enthusiastically agree...! I am very fortunate to own 2 M4's. One is the M1014 with collapsible stock and full capacity tube. I added a Trijicon RMR using a ScalarWorks mount, a Ferro Concepts Slingster, and a Mesa Tactical M-Lok handguard, which enabled me to mount a Surefire M300 light with remote switch. It is a reliable and a no-brainer to shoot well as Colion stated. If you want to make it even softer to shoot, add a Limbsaver butt pad also.
My M4's are both r922 compliant using Freedom Fighter Tactical after-market parts.
I enjoyed the M1014 so much that I found an M4 NFA 14" SBS for sale online. I bought it immediately ($😳$) but had to wait for 4 months for ATF approval. It also has the adjustable stock and for home defense, nothing can touch it. I installed another RMR with a taller mount for faster dot acquisition, and added a Briley MLok handguard, a surefire M140 micro light, the Limbsaver, and the Slingster. At 14" the SBS, like AR's, is very maneuverable, lightweight, and surprisingly accurate out to 40-50 yards, depending upon the load. I use #3 or #4 buck for home defense. It will end a threat very quickly and it's not likely to do as much peripheral damage as 00 buck or slugs.
I understand that M4's are VERY costly when compared to mass market shotguns. It was "buy twice and cry twice" for me, but NO doubt worth every penny! imho.

Ironic that the only thing I want to steal from you is stopping me from doing it.
@@Lordoftheswollen Lol...I guess that's one way to describe it! I do realize how fortunate I am to own such iconic firearms...
Beretta 1301 tactical is a good choice for the money
I love mine. Got close to using mine on some random jamoche who wandered onto my deck one night while I was enjoying a quiet cigar by myself. I don't like they surprised me but instead of burning them with the 1911 I kept on the table, I picked up the M4 and executed a beautiful buttstroke and then called the Sheriff who took them away.
I've just started reading up on the M4, Colin missed a big reason to choose it over any cheaper semi auto shotgun. It's ridiculously reliable and doesn't much care what ammo you load into it. You can alternate one load with 000 buck and #10 birdshot if you so chose and the gun wouldn't jam. It just doesn't jam.
Insanely reliable. This is an over-engineered combat shotgun.
Colion, I couldn’t agree more. I love my m4-honestly, out of my collection of pistols, revolvers, rifles (bolt, lever, semi-auto), and shotguns-this is my favorite firearm.
But at the end of the day, inside my home, with my family, my glocks are my preferred defense weapon, and in the unlikely scenario SHTF, an ar15. Old homes, narrow hallways-it’s just impractical to use my m4. Phenomenal firearm.
Great shotgun! Beretta 1301 is a great alternative - cheaper and has plethora of accessories available. It is very popular and reliable.
I just ordered a Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical. I’m looking forward to having an optics cut milled directly to the gun
I have and like my Benelli M4 yes it is a really good shotgun but if you're looking for an AR style sugar you should try the Rock Island Armory VR80 it has a magazine and I like that better now you have to switch out the hand grip and stock.
I can’t wait to get mine
I like the benelli m4 but much prefer the beretta 1301
I also have a Benelli M4 and a Remington 870 Police model…. Both are nice weapons for HD
I'll stick with my IWI TS12.
+1
The Benelli M4 is awesome and is an easy transition from it to an AR platform and back again. However, I got my hands on a Remington 870DM Predator and a shitload of 6-round magazines before the company essentially went tits-up after stopping production years ago and have been in love ever since. It's a choked monster that I only fire 00Buck out of or 7.5 or 8 shot for long training days. The shotgun and detachable mags have operated flawlessly throughout hundreds of magazines fired, and I keep 10 of them loaded next to the bed.

I'm surprised you haven't already added the mag tube extension. Seems like the M4 is pretty great, I've been stalking it for a couple of years now. The only thing that makes me hesitant on it is the fact that it's nearly 2G's where I'm at AND if I wind up using it defensively then it's 2G's the police will be holding onto for a while as they do their 'investigation.' Seems like the police have an easy path to taking possession of a citizen's firearm but a not so easy path in returning it even when they've found no evidence of wrongdoing and it would be too great of a temptation for them to not want to give it back ever.
That’s why I keep my 870. It’s the one I’ll say i used. Lol
I think a $2k gun would be the least of your worries considering what lawyers cost and cleanup and trauma and risk and your family's lives.
Yup used my Sig P229 legion in 2017 and was immediately cleared as a good shoot. Didn’t get her back until 2020 when the case was over.
Colion. Hello sir. I owned a Bennelli Nova years ago good shotgun. The M4 is good shotgun. I’ve never understood the “pinched off” factory magazine tube but, hey. I now have owned a Mossberg 590 SP for several years and am comfortable with a pump action gun. As to the Benelli M4. Like it yes but if I was going Semi auto I’d look at the Mossberg M40. It’s not finicky about lighter field loads unlike the Italian semi autos can be and seems a very reliable gun and definitely more affordable for those of us not on a 6 figure income.
The pump action shotgun has never once jammed on me in 30 years.
Short stroke!
My Benelli m4 has never jammed on me over thousands of rounds
While you're pumping/cocking/charging the gun you're vulnerable though.
Since semi-auto automatically cocks after firing you're less vulnerable.
@@NineteenEighty-Four Practice.
@@Cacowninja You have to cock/reload an automatic,too.
To each their own.
Both are great for self defense.
I have my Tavor TS12 cycling Fiocchi 00 Buckshot... Zero problems, I love it✌🏾
Makes me even more happy I got one. Great stuff!
Thank you man. I was visited by some bad people and i have trauma. I need a weapon for self defence and this convinved me.
I live in canada and i have the benelli m4 clone called the canuck operator. Its half the price but just as fun to shoot. Although the quality might not be as good as benelli
Ithaca 37. Very smooth pump action. I have had it for thirty years, used it to hunt ducks and geese, to shoot skeet, and just to blast pop bottles. (I have long and short barrels for it.) I I have shot it so much I don’t have to think about loading or using it.
I do have an M2 for three gun and considering setting it up for home defense as well. It is easier to keep a light on than the Ithaca and so much fun to shoot.
Very informative , THANKS
Colion, there are very few content creators that I enjoy as much as you. God bless you brother. Keep up the great work!

Pete, don’t fall for the reply. It’s some asshole working a scam. Semper Fi, Marty
On the pump trigger pull and racking the slide back should be one motion, you can pretty easily cut that time in half. That said, semi is definitely better in pretty much all circumstances, especially stressful ones like self defense. Good video 👍

You talk about a pump shotgun is a stupid reliable shotgun, and as a 03 Toyota Tundra owner I can tell you you the Tundra is super reliable after a quarter of a million miles. The Benelli M4 is easily as reliable as my Tundra.
I like having my DD or Glock for home defense, but the M4 would be my choice if the wads didn't separate from the load.
CoLion You are Da Man. Thank you for your knowledge and photogenic videos.
$1,899.99 not too bad for a well made gun you can trust
+$600 to get it de-neutered (mag tube, collapsible stock, ATF compliant, etc.) 😁
I got one. But mine the LE model 11715 best shotgun I've had. Comes with all the bells. Never had a problem even with cheap ammo.
Have you had a problem with capacity? Does it load all 7 or just 6 of seemingly normal buckshot?
I'm pretty sure this is also John wick's go to home defense shotgun
I’m in love with the Mossberg 940 Pro
Can’t buy the guns like this anymore after having kids.
My home defense in CA is a 14+1 KSG: 7x slugs in one tube and 7x 00 buck in the other tube +1 in the chamber.
Wouldn’t a shorter shotgun be better setup for home defense ?
It's barrel length is 18.5 inches. The legal limit is 18 inches. Unless you get one of those "shockwave" style shotguns you can't really do much better
Just purchased a Benelli M2. Wanted the M4. Can’t find one around here. But am still satisfied with it. Considering joining USCCA now.

Nope they are nice, but Tavor TS12. Is my go to home defense shot gun, easy for my wife to grab, Benelli is my go to duck shot gun.
Indeed! TS12 is compact, packs 15+1+1 rounds and can be shot even with one hand!
Semi auto shotguns generally pick up their reliability issues from variations between shotgun shells. Brass cased center fire cartridges are more likely to remain within proper spec where as plastic shotgun shells deform easier making them more prone to feeding or ejection issues.
I have finally for a reason to disagree with you. I have seen Benellisfall apart in demonstrations. I'll stick with my M97 . Anyone can be fast. But even with a shotgun accuracy count on the first shot.
@GhillieGoat unfortunately I saw the same failure. Two years in a row. So that turned me away from Benelli
Good points made, and nice to see you do another video with it.
Personally, I like the way you've left it as it was built.
To each their own, but to me, the standard stock is primo.
Congratulations 👍

What's your thoughts on a Saiga 12 for home protection
Don't use the larger capacity magazines.
A friend has one & it turns into a jam-o-matic with the 25 mags & the drum.
Maybe he just needed to break it in but it was frustrating trying to get doubles with it.
All your reasons also apply to the m2 - love that shotgun 😊
Loves the Beneli, but uses neutered tube mag....🤨
Great gun. If the Marines' endorsement is not enough for you, the M4 has Colion's as well. That is enough for me.
Broooo 922(r) that thing…
It’s a shoulder mounted, pistol gripped Claymore Mine and I love it.
I’d love to own one little brother, but my Army retirement can’t afford that shit. 🇺🇸
I totally agree regarding my Benelli M1 super 90,...the inertia drive is awesome
Love the content thank you for truth u spread over the lies they teach king
I love mine. Such a smooth and solid shotty
If you shoot clays and bird hunt, running the pump is second nature. But yeah m4 pretty much tops everything.
I've had one for several years and love it. Easy to shoot and cycles blindingly fast. Only kids a collapsible stock and a weapon light
My favorite truck is my 1994 f150 manual transmission and love it. Nothing like a revolve and a Shockwave behind the headrest.
I have this rifle, the best feature is that you can ghost load 9 rounds in it. You left the best part out my man.
M4 is sick; love it - self cleaning ARGO system! if you’re tweaking this with 3rd party add-ons ensure you take the time to install correctly.
Colion I thought my Saga 12 and Mossberg 930 was my best home defense tool until I got my Beneli. Say no more. It’s a beast

I have two M4s when they first came on the civilian market my buddy also a Marine and I took mine out to our shooting range and purposefully tried to trash it. We are pretty disrespectful to it and it never missed a beat. I have since tricked my primary out with extended mag tube, red dot, Mlok forestock, with a light attached and picatinny side saddle. My suppressed, SBR, LWRC is my go to long gun but I wouldn't feel outgunned in the home with the Benelli.
I have Ol Faithful Remington 870 for 1 of my home defense weapons!!High base loads Hercules Red Dot,CCI primers & #5 Nickel shot & Slugs 🐌.I’m sold on the 870 The Marine Corps carried it for decades & me being a former Marine I’d have nothing else 4 a close quarters shotgun.Semper -Fi 89’-93’
