benny hill Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 The gun of choice for most of us.The tube is 24" so why not the barrel? That way you have a longer sight raduis for slugs & flying birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I have a 24" M2 and my buddy has a 21" M2. We were handing them and doing some exercises and I must admit, the 21" is easier to swing and feels good. However, I still like my 24" better and I think with more practice, I can swing it just as well as the 21". Mine also feels better in the recoil department - again, not much but I can tell the difference. I think you will be fine with it, just practice...

prreed10 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I ordered a 21", then found a 24" locally. I forgot to cancel the 21" order. When it came in, I couldn't keep both so I kept the 21" and sold the 24". It was a 50/50 deal - only reason I chose the 21" was it did swing a little faster, but all in all there really wasn't much of a difference. Benny is exactly right. I ended up adding a +6 on my 21", which made it just as long as the 24". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZ Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) OK, well that was a little impulsive of me. My new 24" M2 is headed my way. So for Tac Optics I want the +6 extension so I can top off after the start (if allowed), right? Edited October 5, 2011 by RAZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveU Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Yes. The Nordic one is just short of flush with the barrel. I was in the same boat. 24 now or 21 "whenever they come in" Took the 24 and I love it. I don't test it side by side with a 21 so I don't notice any difference You won't regret it Edited October 5, 2011 by Surge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckofagator Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 the place you bought from have any more deals on 24s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainring Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Forgive my ignorance, but a flush Plus 6 on a 24 gives us a capacity of what, plus one? How many are in the unplugged factory tube, I guess? Edited October 6, 2011 by chainring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveU Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 9+1. One more if it's set up to ghost load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainring Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Nice. So tactical start capacity with an empty chamber. The Multigun I've been to several times allows a charged, on safe start. Is an empty chamber a common requirement at other shoots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRider Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Nice. So tactical start capacity with an empty chamber. The Multigun I've been to several times allows a charged, on safe start. Is an empty chamber a common requirement at other shoots? Some matches say "9 round max in the gun at start", so if you have a +6 tube on a Benelli M1/M2 (factory tube capacity is 3), you can have 8 in the tube and 1 in the pipe at the buzzer. If you have to make a couple of steps to get into a shooting position you will have time to add the extra round to the mag. On some stages, it could help. Other matches will dictate that the maximum capacity of tactical/limited shotguns be 9 rounds. In that case, you plug your tube to hold 8 max. Depending on the stage description, in many matches you may be required to start with an empty gun, empty chamber or whatever else the stage designer wants.

Alaskapopo Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Am I going to be disappointed? Is there any reason not to go with a 24" I wanted a 21 but found a great deal on a 24 and I am quite happy. The M2 is so light its a real change from the M4 I used to use. Another advantage of the 24 is at matches where they don't follow standard rules you can load more ammo. I shoot some matches where they let you load the gun as full as you want in limited/tactical so I load up 10 rounds. pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) I shoot a 26" and the only time I notice how long it is, is if I see a video of me shooting, then I say "good lord look at that giant thing! (and the shotgun's not small either!)" Edited October 6, 2011 by cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sc0 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I like and have a 24" while brother has a 21", the 24" with a +4" Briley barrel extension can also be used for clays and hunting, so can be dual or triple purpose. The only time the 24" seems a bit long is when held next to the 21" model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
