I was telling my wife the other day that even though the M4 is my go-to shotgun, the M3 is probably the most versatile firearm I own. Buy the 26" hunting barrel and it's truly a one-stop shop of the shotgun world. And more you shoot it, the better it runs. The duel operating modes really make it hard to beat. And with a little work it's able to be ghost loaded.
And yes my wife actually listens and "acts" interested when I'm going on about shotgun theory. Lol she's an angel.
