I can only speak for Beretta and Benelli and they are very easy to clean. In fact Id say the Benelli is the easiest to clean as the action just slides out and can be rubbed gleaming with an oily cloth

As I own a Benelli I defintely agree - the Benelli does not use a gas operated system like most of the other manufacturers - it uses an inertia rotating system.....as already stated, very easy to remove and clean.

The Benelli also has a slim foreend, due to inertia system and no gas, and feels & handles like an o/u, which many like.

My shooting partner uses a Beretta s/a and it's equally reliable....works flawlessly if given a complete clean every 1,000 shots, which takes about 30 minutes once / twice a year, depending on usage.

Would recommend either as a quality, hassle free semi - auto......only Benelli available in left hand.

The trigger mech is easy and quick to remove from my AL391. After use, i dismantle and clean it and then store the trigger unit elsewhere.

Is there any part that can be removed so as to render it unuseable.

The Benelli is quite easy to take apart ...I'm assuming you are talking about safety in case gun is stolen......hiding a part in a seperate location???

The bolt can be removed in about 5 minutes making the gun unusable.

The manual is available on this page to download if you want to browse through it......it explains everything about using the gun & taking it apart. It looks long and drawn out in the pictures as each step is explained in detail but is quite quick once you've done it once or twice.

By and large,the more modern semis and pumps have modular trigger mechanisms[IE the trigger mechanism is all in one group] that are held in with one or two push pins.Removal of the trigger mechanism,renders the gun totally useless.So that is a great saftey feature in itself.

BTW if you want another left hander gun ...Remington make both the pump and semi auto in left hand config

cavan shooter

You can as stated drop out the trigger mechanism
You can pull out the bolt
You can Hide the barrell, That would definetly make it useless

Thanks to all

Had a left handed Remington Wingmaster 870 pump action for 27 years, used constantly. Must have fired 1,000 & 1,000 of shots....never jammed once.....was a brilliant, reliable gun.

Reason I changed it was it had a fixed full choke and I wanted a variety of chokes to suit different types of shooting.
