Benelli M2 SP or Beretta 1301 Comp Pro

[Bangalore]

If you could only have one for IPSC and/or 3 gun which would you choose and why?

Beretta all day any day

I've got both, although my M2 was a standard 21" that I did up myself. That's my answer, both.

Neither. I’d buy a 3,1/2” Beretta A400 here in Canada because of our silly capacity laws.
Both your options are reliable guns but need the loading port opened up from the factory

Quite a difference between the M2 SP and the M2 Speed. Loading port cut out mostly.
I went with the speed. Got the proper length mag tube and the red X barrel clamp to restore it to proper factory condition. Hated the shrinky dink kanadien tube.
Matches my Nova Speed. Obviously Im a Benelli fan but the 1301 comp pro is a fantastic gun and I will own one some day. The kicks stock and the pro lifter are very nice.

1301 is definitely the new hotness but even the comp pro will still need work to be at its full potential. Again, loading port.
Friend sent his to Tacord to get the Benelli Speed cut done. Very much improved.

Hard to go wrong with either one I guess.
Probably slight edge to the Beretta for its gas system. But having competed using both with target load and slugs, I dont really notice a difference when I'm on the clock.

This ^^^^ is what I did.

The A400 probably wont run well on 2 3/4" rounds out of the box but that can be overcome with a switch of the gas release valve spring.

Always good to have a back up to bring.

Beretta 1301 Comp Pro 24” barrel seems impossible to find. Everyone sold out.

Gonna call in the AM to confirm stock.
Thanks Grain!

Agree with above. Have both. Once slicked up, not much difference but I think the Beretta cycles faster…not that I can aim fast enough for that to matter, but ymmv.

Is there a benefit to the 24" vs 21" model for action shooting?

Maybe longer forcing cones on the 24"? That is a guess on my part.
