I’ve yet to figure a name out for it, since I haven’t had a chance to shoot it, yet — but yesterday I got a smoking deal on a Benelli Nova Tactical 12 gauge shotgun. The plan is to add a +2 round extender to the magazine tube eventually. This model has the typical Benelli combat “ghost ring” sights — superb for fast target acquistion. The pump action is smooth, and I’ve yet to lubricate the thing. There is a magazine arrestor button on the pump to allow the chamber to be loaded without having a round leave the magazine. Total capacity right now: 6 rounds with one in the pipe? It can fire 2 3/4″ to 3.5″ shells. It’s very light, modern-looking, and shoulders very quickly.
I’d love one of their M4 Super 90 semiautos or the MR1 carbine in 5.56mm but we’re a bit tight on the budget at the moment. Still, a great buy from a great company.

What are the laws concerning transportation of items like this in your state?

New Mexico is one of the better states for weapons ownership. Open carry is law for anything, but there’s a concealed carry law, as well.
The Benelli’s a simple pump shotgun — it would be legal just about everywhere in the world that allows weapons ownership. Their semiautos are fantastic — the USMC is using the M4 Super 90 in service.
