I bought two M2s a couple of weeks ago. Checked the trigger pulls in the store, somewhat inconsistent but heavy. When I got home I tried them normally and was disappointed that they both have lots of creep. Talked to customer service, they sent shipping labels and I sent them in. They told me that spec on the triggers was 5#-7#(Wow)! I did not load or shoot them. Brand new.
I read Randy Wakeman's M2 review a while back. He also had a heavy trigger and said he was going to send the trigger group back, that Benelli customer service said that the triggers on M2s typically break at 3#-5#. I have not been able to find any follow up on his experience with customer service. In his review, he said:
The sole problem remaining with the supplied M2 is the trigger that breaks at a heavier weight than the entire gun at 6-1/2 pounds. Good triggers on shotguns seem to be rare commodities these days. However, after talking with the good folks at Benelli I'm advised that most M2 triggers run in the 3-5 pound area. So, just as soon as I'm finished with this review the trigger guard is going off to Benelli and I'll report back with the results. Benelli has had extremely good customer service in times past, so there is no reason to think that this instance will be any different.

My guns are on their way back now, so I called customer service to see what they did. They said there's no creep, one trigger averages 6# 4oz, the other 6# 10oz. They didn't touch them, saying they're "In Spec". I think their specs are poor. Anybody else have this problem? Am I being too picky? Is a crisp trigger at 5# or less too much to ask?
