MikeFoley Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Since I am new to the world of recoil/inertia operated shotguns, how many rounds can I carry on the sides of my Benelli M1S90 without interrupting the operation of the gun? My Remington 1100 gas operated gun holds 9 in the gun and 18 in the side saddle and forend carrier for a total of 27. What is the right number for the Benelli?

stingerjg Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I'd prob stay on the safe side and only go w/ no more than 10 extra on the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I use 8 or 9 on the side saddle only, don't want to slow down the cycleing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 My Benelli M1 Tactical works with all but the lightest loads with 9 in the gun, 7 on the side saddle, and six on the forearm carrier. For my gun, that is everything fully loaded. My carriers are from 3gungear.com. I had to change the recoil spring but all else is stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Mike - my Benelli has 8 on the side saddle and a 2x2 on the forearm (forarms are quite a bit shorter on these than a remmy). That's 12 plus 9 in the gun =21. I've had zero problems with this setup, even fully loaded with 1 1/4 #4 in the gun and on the sides. You might also talk to Mark B. at 3-gun Gear. He also runs a Benelli and, of course, sells the stuff we're speaking of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFoley Posted May 16, 2005 Author Share Posted May 16, 2005 Thanks to all. I shot the Benelli yesterday and it even cycled Ranger slugs which are very light. I want to use the 3GunGear 8 round side saddle from the Remington, and I will either cut down my 2+8 or order a 2+2 from Mark. I will need to get reacquainted with my California Compworks shotshell holder and my belt/bandolier setup I suppose. It was always just so fast having all of those rounds on the gun. It only applies to monster stages, which are few and far between. If I can get 9+9 to work, that will be fine. This gun has cycled everything I have put through it with no weight on it, so I guess that's a good indication so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standles Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 on mY benelli M1014 it wouldn't cycle light load 7.5 shot. If you want to know for sure then put a strip of velcro on the side and wrap some rounds in the hook side. Add velcroed rounds until you start having trouble and you will know.
