Means as I pull trigger the 2nd time the gun is not yet finished cycling and trigger is dead. I have to deliberately slow down to run the m4 properly. Whereas the 1301 I can shoot as fast as I want and the gun can keep up fine.

Interesting, thanks for elaborating on that, appreciate it. Makes my choice a lot easier to be honest, nearly all the m4 reviews I’ve watched go on about how it’s as fast as you are so I appreciate an actual candid take on the matter.

Think I’ll pick up a 1301 next then, unless that damn makasi finds its way into my cart haha. Thanks again dude.

The m4 is fast... your not placing ACCURATE shots AND outrunning the trigger lol... he probaly just spams the trigger as fast as possible then yeah it can be outrun. But the benelli when ive shot at multiple targets cycles fast enough, ive never outrun the trigger in actual training landing good shots

Hmm, appreciate the info man. It’s tough cuz I really, really, really prefer the build of the Benelli and just how it feels to hold over the 1301 but I also do wanna be able to just mag dump here and there regardless of accuracy.

Ultimately I think I’ll end up with both at this point, just can’t decide what to do first ya know? I genuinely also don’t think I’ve got the skill/experience yet to mag dump a semi 12 ridiculously fast. Just haven’t shot any at all yet, and an sks or .22lr semi doesn’t feel like it would really prepare me haha.
