New m4 choke - Carlson's Choke Tubes Tactical Muzzle Brake: Ber/Benelli Mobil, Cylinder

My first experience with Carlson choke tubes. Lots of experience with Briley, Mueller, Extreme and others with my clay target shotguns. They have a good rep in the waterfowl and upland game arena as well as the tactical shot gun space. Benelli ships the M4 with a modified choke which with 7 1/2 or 8 shot would be ideal at about 40 yards. In this gun I’ll shoot 00 or #1 buckshot as primarily a home defense weapon so I’ve opted for a cylinder choke thinking targets in much closer range. This choke seems to pattern well at closer range and there is definitely less recoil than with a flush mount choke. Only downside is its weight. It’s on the heavy side, but in a short barreled gun that is less an issue. I’m happy with its construction, fit and performance
