I am looking to get an extended / oversized bolt handle for my Benelli and was wondering if anybody had one and could snap a few pics please. I am undecided on the style I would like and I'm hoping pictures could help my make up my mind. I am kinda leaning towards the GG&G style (large knurled cylinder).

Thanks allot

backpacker21,
Nice shoty you got there, I'm liking that full length mag tube. How do you like the handle vs. the standard one?
Thanks again

Blindfaith, I like the GG&G cocking handle much better than the factory.  The larger diameter knurled handle is a bit longer than the factory and makes it much easier to grab in a hurry.  The mag tube is a Carrier Comp FL titanium tube.  Kip Carrier puts out a fine product!  Here's a few more pics of the cocking handle for you.

Thanks for the second batch of pics. It is really hard to judge just how big it is by only looking at the handle on the websites. Your pics really show how large it is and was exactly what i was looking for. Thanks so much!!!

I dont know to be honest. I am kinda leanign towards the Dave's Metal Works handle (link below), as it will be going on a Montefeltro. I like the GG&G handle, but it seems a little big and bulky for the style gun I have.

That's one sweet shottie you have there.  I see what you mean.  What don't you like about the factory cocking handle?

I don't hate the one thats on there now to be honest. I do think that a longer one would be more helpful as I use the gun for casual clay shooting. In reality, I would barely use it as it stays open after the last shot, but when I do use it, it feels like I have to be careful so I actually grab enough of it to pull it open. I do like the looks of the aftermarket handles, and I think I am mostly buying it for looks and to have a gun that it slightly different. I do love the gun as it is now, and if I didnt buy one it wouldnt bother me at all to be honest.

I like the Arredondo, it has a conical shape which seems to allow my hand to grab it better when I sweep it with my offhand (Left). It  helps keep my hand from slipping off during high speed manipulations.

Tex,
Great pics, thanks allot. The Conical shape looks like it would really help, as it would almost slide your hand towards the reciever and make sure you have a good enough grip. If i remember correctly, the Nordic Components is conical as well, and I have heard they make quality products.
