[Review] Benelli M4 EXT: Better Than the Original?
Benelli's M4 EXT is a more modern take on the beloved M4 platform; but does this new shotgun outperform the original? We took it to the range to find out.
Travis Pike is a lifelong shooter who just happened to be mediocre enough with a gun and a keyboard to combine the two and write. He currently teaches concealed carry courses and enjoys spending time on Florida’s Nature Coast. He is interested in helping folks protect themselves with firearms and shoot better at the range.
