Does anyone have one? Looking at buying one of someone and needing some reviews.

I have one- love it. It eats crappy shells and 3" is plenty enough for me.
I got it with the 28" barrel since I grew up shooting an old Ithaca. Wish I would have gotten the 26" for carry ease when turkey hunting.

I've got the 20 gauge model that I use as my primary turkey gun. I've been well pleased with it, my only complaint is it suffers the same problem as all Benelli auto's in the dreaded "click" shows up from time to time. Be sure the action is fully closed and you'll have no problems.

Got one and love it. I shoot lefty and the M2 and the SBE 2 are the only left handed automatic shotguns I have found, or atleast reputable brands. I picked a M2 used with less than 10 shells through it because the poor fella didn't know it was a left handed gun (moron). Got it for $700. I don't need 3 1/2 capability for an extra $700.

Great gun and has anybody mentioned the 4th shell advantage?

Can't go wrong with a Benelli semi-auto.

Have heard nothing but good reports on this gun and have hunted next to one a few times. Let the bolt slam shut and you should be fine. If they fit me at all I may have one myself

I dont see the "click" being a big deal in the duck blind, but I've had incidents during turkey season in the past two years. The best I can figure is that while trekking with the gun on my back or belly crawling through a field the bolt slipped back ever so slightly. Enough for the firing pin to extend when you squeeze the trigger but not detonate the primer. Bad situation with a gobbler in close but it hasnt cost me any birds yet. I now instinctively use my free hand to push the bolt forward before preparing to shoot. Havent had a problem since..
