I have a Benelli M1S90 14" Entry model that I bought last year. It was a new-in-box HK import gun with rifle/notch sights on the barrel and pistol grip stock. I have the following issues with the gun:
1) It won't run Federal LE1321B
2) POI is high compared to the sights with both slugs and shot
3) I'm debating ditching the PG stock for a straight stock.
I shoot a Benelli M1 in 3gun and that gun (28" field model with 12 round magazine) runs cheap Wal-Mart bulk 100%. I've read about Benelli's being weight sensitive due to the inertia system, but it seems that starting with a smaller/lighter gun (the 14" entry gun) should push the odds more in my favor. I do have a Surefire forend on the entry gun. Maybe I need to try shooting it without the light, but for an HD gun I definitely want the light.
From what I understand, lots of agencies ran/still run the Benelli Entry just like I have with Surefire forends. What does this come down to? A different spring? Different ammo? More break-in? Also, any thoughts on PG vs straight stock? I prefer straight due to my familiarity with it and ergos from 3gun, but also think the PG has merit for one-handed use in an HD situation (opening door, holding phone, child, etc).
