I’ve used the M2 for clay shooting, and it performs beautifully. However, the M4 is my choice for tactical scenarios due to its versatility.
I’ve had my M4 for a couple of months, and I’m really happy with the recoil pad. It makes a noticeable difference compared to the M2. Very satisfied overall!

That’s great to hear! I’ve always wondered if the recoil pad is truly that effective. I’m tempted to get an M4 myself.
What about weight? I imagine the M4 would feel heavier during a long day of shooting. Any thoughts on that?
The M2 is definitely lighter, which can make a big difference. It’s easier on the arms during long sessions. But the M4 offers greater adaptability with accessories.
I’ve shot both, and honestly, they both have their pros. The M2 felt quick and agile, but the stability of the M4 was comforting.
I’ve been reading mixed reviews about reliability. Has anyone had issues with either?

I’ve personally had zero issues with either gun. They are both tanks! But then again, I clean them regularly.
I once forgot to clean my M2 after a weekend trip, and it still worked flawlessly! Makes me a loyal fan of Benelli’s reliability.
LOL! That’s impressive! Maybe I should name my M2 ‘The Untouchable’ after that experience. It really is a tough gun.
I’ve been looking into the Benelli M2 and M4 too! The M4 is generally more expensive, often due to its military heritage and advanced features. The M2, while slightly less costly, still offers great reliability.
Interesting point! I think availability can also drive prices up. If you’re in an area where M4s are scarce, the price could skyrocket!
I agree with both of you. Value-wise, the M2 is solid if you want a reliable shotgun without breaking the bank. Plus, it has a decent after-market for accessories too.
Exactly! The M4 does come with features like adjustable stocks and tactical rails, but you pay for those extras.
Brand reputation also plays a huge role in the pricing! Benelli is known for quality, and people are willing to pay a premium for that peace of mind.

True, but some folks think the M4 is overpriced considering you can get a similar performance from the M2 for less money.

I personally think the M4 justifies its price with its upgraded features. But for a beginner, M2 is a fantastic starting point without the hefty price tag.

Great perspective! But what if someone just wants a shotgun for home defense? Wouldn’t the M2 suffice?

Absolutely, the M2 is an excellent choice for home defense! Plus, you can invest the savings into additional accessories that fit your needs.
Right! But don’t forget about the long-term reliability. Sometimes spending more upfront pays off down the line for less maintenance.
