Took a chance and tried to promote my SRO tools at a local gun show. Had my M4 on display just to draw attention and was offered $4500 for mine set up the way it is. If I knew it wouldn't be hard to replace it without paying the new higher prices that they are selling for, I probably would have. I was really shocked about it.
Oh I know, I’m not claiming that either since that is subjective. But of course I personally think it is
Shotgunners will purchase what they feel they like best, that’s what makes USA great, free choice!
I'm not saying your handle isn't the best, I just have a hard time justifying the cost to myself. Thanks for the thoughtful response and not being a troll. Might look into that new steel one when it comes out 👍
Ya the titanium and grade of stainless steel I use really increases the materials cost.
But I have an all steel one coming out next week for 54 bucks… same locking design. I had to do an extra heat treat on it to get the tang deformation under control (regular 4140 heat treated bar stock didn’t cut it for me). Mil spec hot black oxide finish.
The titanium handle is in my opinion a work of art made with premium exotic metals and cerekote finish. It is for the M4 owner that only wants the best of the best bar none.
I buy plenty of overpriced gear, so I think I have a valid opinion on what costs too much etc
lol, ok, I'll play ball 🤡

I just grabbed mine to take a crappy photo for another thread and I said what I always say, "damn this thing is heavy". lol
That's one thing I always hear people say, how soft it shoots compared to the other Benelli's "because of the Argo system." I often wonder how much of that is really due to being a gas gun (though not a traditional one) and how much of it is weight? My M4 is close to two pounds heavier than a similarly outfitted M2 I have. I need to put two pounds of lead in the stock and shoot them side by side.
Meh .... OK. Some fair points there. Plus, this helps ... I just did yet another, extensive Google, YouTube, Every-Gun-Website-Known-to-Man search and comparison on the competition and guess what? All roads lead back to the M4/1014 in the semi auto world. I'm sure things will work out fine once I get some shot down range, and if not, no big deal. Let's face it, it is just a luxury good after all, and there are worse things going on in the world. Plus, if it turns out that I'm just not a semi auto kind of guy, and this is just not the shotgun for me, there's a couple simple great looking coach guns out there that have just caught my eye. 🤔
Mine as well, but there are those convinced it's the bestest at everything!
As well as some duffers who just use it because it's what they have, of course, which is fine.
I haven't done much shouldered weak hand loading with the M4, I'm sure in a "serious" situation it would be fine. In a match, doing it repeatedly all day, I can see it dragging on you. The M4's a little fat girl. lol
Loved loading and shooting at the same time, the game was more fun for me, before quad loading.
As for blue... I like it. Makes me think of painting one. I've been kicking around either painting an M2 yellow, or doing some crazy hydro dip on it. But a denim blue would look nice.
So back to the main topic, I guess The blue has forcefully grown on me, already attached the Aridus Industries QD-C so, there is no turning back now. Blue balls for life.
Got to remember these is titanium that’s why there’s a price difference.You want a cheap handle buy a $20 one.Can afford a $1500 plus gun but can’t afford parts.Your in wrong hobby then
