Does RACT fit the Benelli M3?

Confirmed by owners

Yes, with one swap. An owner with an M3 LE Tactical, pistol grip and adjustable stock, uses the AR-style trigger cover with the notched hinge, because the M3's pump slide is too wide for the standard hinge.

What owners report

  • Hinge: the pump slide is too large in diameter for the standard hinge. Support sent the owner the notched hinge from the Traditional kit, he swapped it in, and it works.
  • Trigger cover: support recommended the AR-style version because of the M3's pistol grip.

Problem solved

First I should tell you I live in bear country. Over the years they have been instances of them B&E into cabins and homes. Last November while watching TV a 320 pounder wandered across our deck just outside the Great Room less than 6' from where I was sitting. Through the window, and in a stern voice I admonish him to "Go away Bear", and thankfully he did. But my wife mentioned that she was feeling a little less than fully protected. So, I purchased a Benelli M3 LE Tactical 12 gauge. It is configured with an adjustable shoulder stock and a pistol grip. I contacted Vera Safety Support and spoke with John about a gun safe recommendation. He advised the AR style safe due to the pistol grip. What we didn't foresee was the diameter of the Benelli's pump slide was too large for the AR style's Biometric locking hinge mechanism. I contacted John to explain the problem and he recommended replacing the AR style's locking hinge with the Rifle/Shotgun style's larger locking hinge. It was shipped out that day and arrived 48 hours later at no charge to me. The swap out took less than 15 minutes and viola, I now have a safe & secure place to keep my Benelli. Buying anything on the internet can always be a crap shoot. It's nice to know that there are honest and honorable companies out there with great problem solvers like John in Safety Support. They're products are American made which I always appreciate and they're customer service impeccable and dependable....five stars. C. E. Campion Owner Upper Duchesne River Ranch Hanna, Utah

Excellent Product, Fabulous Customer Support Service!

On the advice of John in Support Services I purchased an AR Style safe for my Benelli M3 12 ga. He felt it was the better choice because of the Benelli's pistol grip. He was right except in one respect, the pump slide is too big in diameter to fit into the AR Style's Biometric hinge lock. When I reached out to John he quickly jumped into action and provided me a shotgun hinge piece from their Rife/Shotgun Style safe. I swapped the two hinge pieces and now problem solved! Big kudos to John who worked hard and diligently to solve my problem....excellent customer service and now my M3 is safe and secure in a great, well made product. C. E.

Questions

Which RACT version fits the Benelli M3?
The AR-style trigger cover for the pistol grip, with the notched hinge from the Traditional kit. The M3's pump slide is too wide for the standard hinge. RACT Biometric includes both hinges, so you can mix them.
What if my Benelli M3 is set up differently?
Every part of RACT slides along the rail, so the barrel lock, trigger cover and stock support move to suit your gun's length, scope, light and sling. If your build differs from the owners' here, email support@varasafety.com with the make, model and what is mounted, and we will confirm before you order.
