Nice add on

Contrary to the previous reviewer. My wife and I both have Benelli M-2's. The new bolt handles were easy to install and don't come out unless you pry them out like the factory bolt handles. They are a nice upgrade and we both like them and think they are worth every penny.

Thoroughly impressive

This is awesome. Great grip purchase due to the milling twist pattern, perfectly sized (big enough to be tactically advantageous is high stress situations where fine motor skills are diminished, not so big that it's stupid), weight close to stock (very slightly heavier), rotation is a good feature, and looks nice (tactiCOOL).

A+++++

Way better than expected!!!!

OEM-equipped on M2 3-Gun Edition

The NC speed charging handle is an excellent replacement for the factory handle. The NC handle weighs 14 grams, while the stock handle is 12 grams. The NC handle rotates inside the bolt housing, but it does not interfere with the use of the M2. The M2 3-Gun edition comes with this handle, and it is a fast 3 second replacement.

Awesome

I just picked up an FN SLP Mark 1 and, like everything, I wanted to see what aftermarket stuff I could throw on it. Im very pleased with the shotgun and figured putting one of these on would make it even better. I did not anticipate how big of a difference this small piece would make. When charging the stock handle, especially when shouldered, I noticed my hand would rub against the housing primarily because of the limited size of the handle, and how close it rides to the bolt. With the Nordic handle you get a larger, easier to grab, handle which sticks out a little farther. Charging the Nordic can be done quickly and easily both over or under handed. Its an even bigger difference maker than putting an oversized charging handle (BCM Gunfighter) on your AR. BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor design

Comfortable to use but needs modification out of the box to be installed on Benelli M2. When charging the bolt the bolt handle contacts the receiver and is pushed outward. This means that the bolt handle is no longer locked into the bolt and can easily fall out. This is a design flaw that could have been easily addressed at the factory and the fact that it wasn't gives me little faith in other Nordic Component products.
