The Assessment: The 121 M1 M&P from Benelli was a pre-Super 90 beast of a semi-automatic shotgun with smooth mechanics and unbelievably effective sights. 

Introduced in 1978 to replace the old Benelli Autoloader, the SL-80 (also known as the 121 SL-80) is a range of shotguns which was designed for civilian, police, and military work. The SL-80 and its later versions are available in a variety of finishes, construction materials and from basic bluing to versions which are built using the finest quality of walnut root and engraving with gold inlays and plating. 
Several military and police versions of the SL-80 series were also produced, called the 121 M-1 series. 

The basic 121 M-1 uses a weatherproofed walnut stock with a semi-pistol grip and a standard extended magazine. At their heart, however, all members of the SL-80 series are semiautomatic recoil-operated shotguns, stressed to fire both 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells with a variety of different special shells and loadings (though for best results, Benelli recommends that only standard loadings be used in the

series). 
The SL-80 series is well known for the ability of its semiautomatic action to cycle very quickly while producing lower levels of recoil than comparable shotguns.
