The Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical LE 12 Ga shotgun is highlighted as a top-tier American-made option for home defense. It boasts a 7+1 capacity, M-LOK compatibility, and an optics-ready slide. The semi-automatic gas system effectively manages recoil, and the shotgun demonstrated excellent reliability across various ammunition types during testing.
The Benelli M2 LE is presented as a highly reliable, utilitarian semi-automatic shotgun, succeeding the M1 Super 90. It features a Comfortech stock for balance and a lightweight feel, ghost ring sights, and a drilled and tapped receiver for optics. The M2 LE is noted for its popularity in 3-gun competitions due to its extreme reliability and is considered a workhorse design.
The Benelli Supernova LE offers Benelli quality at a pump-action price point, often retailing under $500. While it boasts a 7+1 capacity and the effective ComforTech stock for recoil reduction, potential buyers should be aware of reported trigger pin breakages after high round counts and a limited aftermarket accessory selection compared to competitors like the Remington 870 or Mossberg 590.
The Benelli M3 LE is a versatile 12-gauge shotgun featuring a unique convertible action, allowing it to switch between semi-automatic and pump-action modes. This adaptability is crucial for law enforcement, enabling the use of low-pressure rounds like less-lethal options or breaching rounds that wouldn't cycle a standard semi-auto. The LE model includes a collapsible stock for reduced length and a full-capacity magazine tube.
The Benelli Vinci LE shotgun offers a lighter, more affordable alternative to the M4, featuring a unique inertia system and modular takedown design. While its cryogenic barrel treatment shows promise in pattern testing, it exhibits significant reliability issues with low-recoil tactical loads, a critical drawback for its intended law enforcement or defensive role. Its accuracy with slugs and birdshot is generally good, but the cycling failures with specific defensive ammunition limit its suitability.
