chino Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Dont own one but I am in the market for a shotgun for 3gun and I never seen it come up. Also what about the remington comp. master or the winchester, are these not good guns to buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Because it's not practical. You can't use it in Limited unless you take off the muzzle brake. You also have a really long barrel for Limited. If you keep the muzzle brake on to shoot Open, you're two rounds short in the mag tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Religious Shooter Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Yup... that puppy isn't set-up correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 The M1 Practical is an Open shotgun, it has a 26 inch ported barrel so even if you remove the comp it is still an Open shotgun. The mag is an 8 rounder, take it off and put on a 10 rounder and you have a fully Open shotgun, add a reddot if you want and hose! If you are looking for a Limited Benelli out of the box, get the M1 Tactical with 21 inch barrel, but again you will have to add an extended mag tube to get max rounds allowed for Limited. Either are great shotguns for their respective divisions! JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidwiz Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 For "Tactical" division in the non-USPSA, 3-gun matches that follow the International Multi-Gun rules, such as the Superstition Mountain Mystery 3 Gun http://www.smm3g.com/2005%20SMM3GRules.pdf the maximum barrel length of a shotgun can be no more than 22" and hold no more than 9 rounds loaded to start a stage. For USPSA 3-gun matches, in "Standard" aka "Limited" Division, you can have a maximum of only 9 rounds loaded, so it doesn't make sense to have a barrel that is much longer than the magazine tube. For "Open" the max is 11 rnds. http://www.uspsa.org/rules/2004ShotgunRulesFinal.pdf If you're looking for a Benelli to use for Limited or Tactical, get a M1S90 Field model w/ a 21" vent-rib barrel. If you're looking for one for "Open" then a 26" barrel vent rib barrel would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVI4ME Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I have used a Benelli Practical for 4 or 5 years now. I don't use the screw on comp, makes the length too long. With the mag tube it comes with you get 11 total. 9 in the tube, 1 in the chamber and 1 in the carrier. My best advise if you get one is to not mess with it. That is when I got all sort of problems with it. Now it runs great and I have a old style Holosite on it. I tis a Open shotgun. If I want to shoot limited I take my Remington.
