"The Benelli M3 is a dual-mode (hybrid pump-action and semi-automatic) shotgun designed and manufactured by Italian firearms manufacturer Benelli Armi SpA, and the third model of the Benelli Super 90 line of semi-automatic shotguns. The M3 holds a maximum of seven rounds and uses Benelli's proprietary inertia-driven action system first showcased in the M1. The M3 is notable for allowing the user to choose between semi-automatic or pump-action operation." "Pump-action operation is employed when shooting less powerful shells, such as rubber bullets, that do not generate enough recoil to operate the semi-automatic mechanism. Conversely, the semi-automatic mode can be employed with more powerful shells, absorbing some of the recoil. Switching between the two modes is done by manipulating the ring located at the front of the forend grip. The Benelli M3 also features a removable stock allowing the user to choose one of two styles, the traditional shotgun stock or a stock with a pistol grip. The Benelli M3 is an updated version of the Benelli M1 shotgun. The M3 uses the same inertia recoil semi-automatic system as the earlier Benelli M1, but adds another Benelli-patented feature, which allows the shooter to lock the semi-automatic action and switch to the manually operated pump-action mode and back in the matter of seconds. The action type switch is located at the forward end of the forearm, and is formed as a winged and spring loaded nut just behind the annular knurled ring. Rotation of this ring either engages the action rods of the pump system and locks the semi-automatic recoil system, or disengages the action bars, locks the forearm and allows the inertia recoil system to operate the action automatically. This improves the versatility of the shotgun, allowing it to fire low-powered ammunition (mostly of special purpose, such as less-lethal rubber or tear-gas projectiles) in the manually operated pump action mode, and to fire full power combat loads with slugs or buckshot in semi-automatic mode.

    The action stay open after the last round, and the pump forend has to be manually released, with the button, just as in semi-auto mode. The M3 is versatile, and permits many light (less lethal) loads to cycle as a pump. Many may choose less lethal from a legal perspective, and the M3 will do that without the risk of failure to eject during a confrontation. They are sweet.

    Correct, I have some less than lethal loads I can run through it, while utilizing that feature. Another great video idea 💡!!

    I realized why its finnicky on yours. So I tried to replicate using the Aridus shell carrier. That shell carrier's base is intended for the M2 and M4. Not the M3 I found out. The reason is the pump has to come all the way back to lock back and for the action release to work. Whats happening on your M3 is the plate is interfering with the full travel of your slide/pump and its not fully cycling. Thats why yours is finnicky. I found this out after getting a shell carrier myself, but the solution is to cut an even deeper groove cut about 1" more, and to position the shell carrier dock 1" rearward to make this gadget work.

    ​@GunsmithBeard no problem because your shell carrier is stuck on the side, the other method is to cut down 1" of the left side of the rear pump slide that comes into contact with it. That be the other option.

    You didn't do it justice. It isn't finiky, you just um, you need to reshoot the video on the range. lol :D Constructive criticism.

    Doesn’t the additional weight of a shell carrier & light mount make it possibly prone to issues given that it’s an inertia system?
