Low recoil and fast loading no jams very good took it with the 28inch barrel in black. Love the way it becomes 3 pieces like an army gun. I think I will love this one.

Never had the middle finger problem, although I have larger than average hands. The standard Vinci is for right handed shooters. I shoot left handed occassionally. Just happen to shoot trap with the Vinci today with my kid. Hits my cheek because if is designed for right handed unless you have a left handed version. have had the Vinci since 2009.

I finally solved the problem by buying a Golf glove which gave me a tighter grip on the pistol grip and stopped the guard from recoiling back to my finger. If your a right handed shooter you need to buy a glove for the right hand. Not easy to find.

When I hold my cheek down on the stock it scrapes the skin off where the front of the rubber comb meets the top of the stock. I think that if they make an extended recoil pad for the Vinci it would change the length of pull and that would solve the problem, but from what I can tell from their web site, they only make them for 4 different models and the Vinci is not one of them. Any suggestions? I am also a lefty and didnt get the but 3 shims with my gun and a left hand on was not in the box. Can additional shims be bought for the Vinci?

Cycle problems every time I have shot this gun!! The gun kicks worse than any gun I have ever owned !! The worst feature is the trigger guard on my 3inch gun is to fat and when you fire the the gun it hits you're finger.One box of shells and you might be short one finger.The sad thing is when you talk to Benelli they treat you like you stole something.The Super Vinci has a redesigned trigger guard which Benelli assures me had nothing to do with any problems on the original Vinci.Save you're money on this one ,much better guns out there.

My only issue was the trigger guard would slam the base of my middle finger when I shot 3" loads. So I sold it and picked up the Super Vinci! Benelli redesigned the trigger guard and after shooting it a couple times already I have no more finger issue! Love the SV!! Slayer – I agree with you about the Vinci.

Called Benelli back and spoke to a supervisor about next steps. They said there is nothing they can or will do. Guess that settles it...my Vinci is up for sale! Very disapointed in Benelli. I just might get an Extrema instead. We'll see. If anyone's interested in my Vinci, send me an email. Less than 5 boxes of shells put through it. I'm located in SE/PA.

You will consider a stop by the emergency room on the way home from the field. Been there and done that. I shot the SBE II today and it is such a better shooting gun. 18 phesant.

I'm glad you guys love your Vinci (as do I!) and don't have a problem with the trigger guard and your middle finger. I wish I didn't have the issue but I do. I don't want Benelli to give me another gun, I would just like them to recommend a fix for me (and many others!). You see, if their idea about putting a small piece of door jam moulding on the trigger guard doesn't work, then I'll look into having a gunsmith take a look and see what can be done. Of course, if I do that it'll void the warranty. So I'd like them (Benelli) to do the work. We'll see... Kyle and Joe…good for you!

Was enough for them to warrant a few changes to set it apart. The original was still good enough for them to offer it in 2 "NEW" variations! Seems like its doing pretty good.

I bought one of the 1st ones out and have hunted and busted clays for 2yrs. and have had ZERO problems with mine.
