Benelli/Franchi “Click”?

SX 4, problem solved.

You need to make sure the action is put into battery with enough force to be engaged.

I had an issue early on in my Franchi days and haven't had one since.

Idk if id call it a design flaw, just a difference between inertia and gas operating systems.

Yours sounds like it is doing it a bit more than normal, like maybe sloppy tolerance kinda deal.

Bought a Browning Cynergy CX in 20 gauge. I cant play with it until mid December. I am sure it will be amazing....but I do use a 3rd shell on many occasions.

Dont worry, you’ll miss less. (Too soon?)

Sorry, sounds super frustrating.

There are two schools of thought on semi-auto shotguns, Gas vs. Inertia. Gas will always go bang in the first shot but might go bang on the 2 and 3. Inertia might go bang on the first one and will always go bang on 2 and 3.

The Wolff springs are not interchangeable between Benelli and Franchi. Benelli's recoil system is in the stock (behind the action). The Franchi is in the fore-stock (in front of the action).

Generally the Gas systems are more reliable with lighter loads (sub gauges). The only time I have ever had an issue with a Gas system is when it got dropped in the river at 5*F. The action froze solid including the gas ports. I had my SBE with me (again frozen action) and the first shot broke all the ice out.

I can say that I have had fewer issues with my SBE3 than my SBE before the Wolff spring.

Either system will have its issues. You need to decide which set of issues you are willing to deal with.
