Product reviews: MAC 1014 Breacher Shotgun, Pistol Grip - 12GA

Stop looking at these MAC semi auto shotguns and JUST BUY ONE!! I own both a Benelli M4 and Beretta 1301 for comparison to the MAC 1014. Out of the box the MAC 1014 is well made, feels solid, fit and finish are excellent, action is smooth and solid. With my eyes closed I can barely tell the difference between the MAC 1014 and the Benelli M4. At the range we fired over 120 rounds of buckshot and slugs (mix of Federal, Rio, Fiocchi, and Aquila ranging from 1200fps to 1600fps, 8 & 9 pellet 00 buck, 1oz slugs). The MAC 1014 soaks up the recoil, cycles quickly, and gets back on target quickly. Feed it high brass 8 or 9 pellet 00 buck 1300fps or higher and it runs as fast as you can pull the trigger with zero issues. The MAC 1014 out of the box does not cycle target loads reliably, even the Heavy Target loads from Federal and Winchester. After the range session the MAC 1014 looked like new with no signs of wear and no loosening of components. Total BUY, particularly at $550.
