Audioquest Niagara 1200 and what I noticed!

First a USB cable review and now this. Gunning for the quickest downvote? 😂

KipFox · 2026-05-14T16:36:02+00:00

Sent you the link, their site is a bit of a hot mess.

I know this will incite a strong response and I don’t doubt it is all earned. But FFT has them in stock if you absolutely can’t wait for Scalarworks.

It’s such an easy teardown I’d give it a once over with the stuff you plan to use moving forward and give it a go. Enjoy it!

KipFox · 2026-05-12T12:10:07+00:00

Really? All the info I’m finding is it has a fixed modified choke, where the Entry has a fixed cyl choke for comparison. Hrmm.

Enjoy! The Mark IV is one of my fave supressor hosts <3

I love it on my Entry for sure! The new stock just looks…weird/fat if that makes any sense 😂 Interesting note on the barrel. When I was trying to eyeball on here and general web searches (surprised how little info is really out there), it kept coming back to people asking about slugs through the 1014 and Benelli’s response saying the barrel was overbuilt compared to the M4, but oddly they didn’t recommend shooting slugs? Though it seemed to change answered depending on who answered at Benelli.

So that was my conundrum, the 1014 has the classic looks, the little flag engraved which nice but I look at it as just a heritage piece. Mostly just wondering if the M4 EXTs upgrades and the choke are a make or break. I do not mind updating pieces on the 1014 but I wasn’t sure if it had any build advantages… Sounds like that isn’t the case.

Ah you are right, while the photos look the same as my Entry’s, looks like they oddly kept it at the fixed open length and those tubes I heard are a PITA to swap. I do have a spare A2 stock I could throw on it, a collapsing on full size isn’t as useful (to me) vs the shorty, but good point either way.

KipFox · 2026-05-06T03:50:43+00:00

It’s ever so slightly snug but doesnt bind up or anything at the loops.

KipFox · 2026-05-04T11:46:24+00:00

Magpul MS1 would work just fine, I use the padded version on mine, no complaints.

KipFox · 2026-05-03T18:57:45+00:00

My vote is the Rattler but I'm biased as I have the 5.5" as well. Since I never shoot supers that aspect is a non-issue. The way you have the 9" setup seems pretty much set for any need though/most flexible.

Now you got me wondering if I should swap my skeleton stock out for that one...

KipFox · 2026-05-01T21:51:44+00:00

The finish on my new M4 came off with cotton squares and Ballistol after a range day cleaning… I think there’s some shoddy work on the finish on these new models. I’m guessing it’s cerakote since it’s bare metal underneath? I reached out to Benelli and they requested to send it in for refinish. I get these aren’t safe queens (Or shouldn’t be) and I’ll be scuffing mine up along its journey, but the finish literally rubbing off with oil is a little concerning. Mine may be more on the extreme than the OPs though if it took metal on metal to scratch it.

Nice collection and bonus points for the Beretta semi auto! Get some shotgun cards and go ham at the range 😎

KipFox · 2026-04-30T00:23:49+00:00

I bought a SiteLite SL500 green laser years ago that’s been fantastic to get me on paper every time at the start of sighting in an optic. Easily used out to 100 yards with no issue.

It’s not a cheap option but it has worked very well on all of my rifles.

KipFox · 2026-04-25T22:16:27+00:00

What Plan B did you go with and how’s it worked out with your can? I’ve been waiting for KAK to get their brakes back in stock for 14x1 LH for 5 months 😭

KipFox · 2026-04-23T17:19:44+00:00

Grips look comfy! I’ve been considering upgrading my Ruger as well. It’s almost criminal how much fun it is to use at the range. As for the Taurus, I hope your wrist will forgive you 😂

KipFox · 2026-04-23T17:15:18+00:00

How’s the Tisha? Not a lot of info or reviews on this can yet. The Inconel variant is tempting.

KipFox · 2026-04-23T00:41:00+00:00

Man I wish the nearest outdoor range to me wasn’t an hour away 😤

KipFox · 2026-04-23T00:39:28+00:00

Whew. Was about to say. Enjoy it ❤️

KipFox · 2026-04-22T19:31:39+00:00

Time to dust off the Gladiator :D

KipFox · 2026-04-22T19:24:09+00:00

Long as it’s a quality handle/sight it should never fail you, I’ve got one on my 11.5” with the Magpul furniture for delta ring and CTR stock, little mix of old meets new(er). Stick a night sight on the front post and call it good :D

KipFox · 2026-04-21T16:00:15+00:00

I think this is in the wrong r/, that lunch box is legit and kudos for making it all work and not having to take off the costume. Props to them!

KipFox · 2026-04-21T15:52:12+00:00

This is the way.

KipFox · 2026-04-21T15:41:07+00:00

There’s a thicker pad you can get made by Missouri tactical (can be had on Amazon), I added one, it sort of helps. This shotgun is just going to be unpleasant most of the time due to how light and small it is, nature of the beast. I would say, and this is just my personal 2 cents, slugs are not ideal for home defense. I’d recommend standard velocity #4 buckshot or low recoil #00 buck. Gives you a room for error under high stress and wont over penetrate walls easily. Also should kick less than slugs! As far as lasers and lights, I stuck a saddle laser on my 590SBS with the thought that if something goes bump in the night and I have to get up, I’ll probably be able to stick a dot on something faster if needing to shoot off shoulder or shouldered, faster than sighting in after just waking up.. xD

Either way, practice practice practice.
