Home Defense Gun

Benellis are great guns. Auto or not, it is stil imported. I would not start changing parts. The letter is regarding the auto, yes. Benellis are imported, that was my point. I was not dissing Benellis. Exept for the Nova. The one piece stock receiver is a no go for me.

Being imported you must a have certain number of US parts. So, the letter i posted was not mistakenly referenced. IT WAS MAKING A POINT. I know it refered to semi autos.

To DRL1187: good luck with your purchase. Get info from several sources. The 870 or Mossy 500's are great choices as well. The Remington has sold several million 870's for a reason.

you dont need 3-1/2" for HD.

Do not listen to one opinion fan boys. Be happy they love their gun, but get what you want.

The OP already stated very clearly that he was considering the Nova and SuperNova.

Referencing LanceOregon's post; 922(r) specifically states:
"A semiautomatic shotgun that has at least two of the following: a folding or telescoping stock; a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; a fixed magazine in excess of five rounds; and an ability to accept a detachable magazine."

Key word being semiautomatic. We're talking about pump-actions here bud...
 
I'm a long time, hard core 870 fan.

However, you asked about the Benelli pumps.

Good guns. I have few quibbles with them and unlike some Third World makers, Benelli will be around for a good while.

Try one if possible before purchase. Some folks do not like the triggers and the rattle, though I understand that last is easily fixed.
 
gotigers,

I spotted this in today's turners.com ad:

You may not have a Turners nearby, but there's still the mfg rebate.
 
What you wrote is true, but unnecessary. :D For purposes of this thread, all ya gotta do is note that the OP is asking about pumps to realize that the 922r thing is just totally, completely, hopelessly N/A. ;)

922r applies only to semiautos.
Actually, the restriction only applies to certain semiauto shotguns. It does not apply to them all.

If one actually reads 922(r), you will see that in order for a shotgun to qualify for this restriction, TWO CONDITIONS from the following list have to be present on the shotgun. Just having a magazine capable of holding more than 5 rounds is not sufficient on its own.

This is what the law says:

"A semiautomatic shotgun that has at least two of the following: a folding or telescoping stock; a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; a fixed magazine in excess of five rounds; and an ability to accept a detachable magazine."

So as long as the shotgun has no pistol style grip, does not have a folding stock, or is loaded via a detachable magazine, just adding to the capacity of the magazine tube is fine, as long as it does not go over 10 shells.

The letter that GoTigers so mistakenly referenced and posted refers specifically to a tactical shotgun with an extended pistol grip, thus making it fall under the law.

Anyway, I hope this better clears this matter up for everyone.

And I know this to be a fact and absolutely true, as I own an imported semiauto shotgun with an 8 +1 magazine capacity.

If you go to the Briley website, you will see that they are selling magazine extension kits for many foreign made semiauto shotguns.

The new ones don't rattle - or at least mine doesn't and other people seem to report the same thing for more recent Novas. Apparently the SuperNovas never did rattle, but maybe that's because whatever Benelli changed happened at the time they introduced the SuperNova? Not sure.

Again, for $325 for a new gun with either rifle or ghost ring sights, a chrome-lined bore, and a rock-solid reputation, it's hard to say much bad about the Nova - if it fits and if the ergos work - and if you don't want the ability to shop from a wide range of third party accessories. $325 would probably get you a very, very nice vintage 870 and leave you with quite a bit of change to buy shells...

Zippy-

I just fell in love with the 870 all over again.

I'm gonna go sit on the floor and marvel at the beauty of mine for awhile :)

But it is actually necessary to spell this all out as much as possible, as some people are simply not getting it.

He even PM'ed me complaining to me about my posts, insisting to me that 922r applies to ALL IMPORTED GUNS, and that he had made a perfectly valid point about the Beretta Nova.

He feels that I have been unfair to him, by disputing his point.

In any event, I only elaborated further, as I wanted to give as full and as accurate a description of what the law really is, so that folks are not so confused.

Holy smoke. OK. That's positively wierd, among other things that I won't say here...wow. Maybe he's legally blind, in which case he shouldn't be shooting... :rolleyes:
