Ran across this Benelli MP3S 32 S&W Wadcutter at a local shop and just had to have it: ![[Linked Image]](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a18/oregon45/image_zpsn92aj2wz.jpeg) Also bought 150rds of Fiocchi 100gr wadcutter ammunition. Haven't had it out to the range yet but it should be fun; it's wonderfully fitted and the single-action only trigger is fantastic. Anyone else have an MP3S or a Benelli B76? From what I've read the B76 was the parent pistol of the MP3S and is a double stack 9mm service pistol. Info on either is somewhat hard to come by.

That ought to be a blast to shoot! I'd think that would make a stellar rabbit blaster.

I'd be chasing down a source of swaged wadcutters for that thing, when you use up those 150, you're gonna want a LOT more ammo.  I concur with Crimson Tide, it'd be a rabbit gun without peer. It's gonna be funner than a new puppy and a roomful of kids. I stand in envy, sir.

I like
Lapua makes 32 target ammo, but I'd be loading my own. It's EASY to run through a bucket of 32's in no time.

I'll get it out to the range this Friday and if I don't lose interest I'll likely be laying in a supply of Starline brass and some swaged HBWC's.

It is a cool little shooter!

From what I've read the B76 was the parent pistol of the MP3S and is a double stack 9mm service pistol. Info on either is somewhat hard to come by. WOW, I haven't seen one of those since the '80's. Yes the B76 was intended to be a service pistol, but they never gained any significant sales. It's a strange pistol, all steel so it's a big heavy, and it uses an inertia locking blow back operating system (that's just SOOO Benelli) of operation. I wasn't a fan of the 9mm B76, but yours looks REALLY cool! I recall the slide stop was really tough to drop with an empty magazine inserted, and the ergonomics were very blocky to me. DA action was stiff, and SA was decent. I do remember it being accurate though.

That .32 should be a small game killing SOB. Kind of like a larger-caliber S&W 41.

DA action was stiff, and SA was decent. I do remember it being accurate though. What's interesting is that the SA trigger on this gun is basically the DA trigger from the B76 without the DA lock work. The trigger travel is almost 1/2" before it engages the sear and from there it is a very clean break. Feels a lot like a two-stage match trigger in a rifle.
