In this range review video we put the Benelli M4 EXT through live fire to see how this evolution of the legendary M4 tactical shotgun performs in real world use. Built on the battle-proven ARGO gas-operated system that made the original M4 a favorite with military and law enforcement, the M4 EXT adds meaningful upgrades that increase firepower and versatility for civilian shooters.
On the range we test reliability, recoil control, and shootability across a variety of 12-gauge loads, and we highlight the features that matter most in defensive and tactical scenarios. The Benelli M4 EXT comes with a factory 7+1 capacity, giving you more rounds before you need to reload, and you can even ghost-load additional shells for maximum firepower.
Ergonomics and control enhancements include a five-position telescoping stock with integrated pistol grip, oversized bolt release and user-friendly controls that are easy to manipulate even with gloves. A Picatinny rail and ghost-ring sights make mounting optics and acquiring targets quick and intuitive.
Whether you are interested in tactical performance, home defense capability, or just want a closer look at what makes the M4 EXT a standout semi-auto shotgun, this review breaks down key handling impressions, standout features, and how this shotgun feels on the range.
