I want one. Please PM me your contact at Surefire so I can make sure to get one right away. Thanks!

In about 2 weeks, I'll try to post some pics of me training with something a tad more relevant to this discussion forum, my Benelli M4. Also, I'm wearing the baseball glove because, after shooting about 900 rounds through my 1911, and holstering/reholstering the gun and doing manipulations, my hand was fairly raw and bandages wouldn't say on without a glove, once you mix sweat and sunscreen with the bandaid adhesive.

I'm only ever in Nye County and Clark County. I will open carry in Nye County EVERYWHERE I go. Grocery store, mini mart, out to dinner, wherever. I carry open, on my hip, and everyone who looks at me will see my 1911. In Nye County, this doesn't raise eyebrows. Its very common there. In Clark County, I would do the same, but only in rural areas. I would not open carry while walking down The Strip, even though IT IS 100% legal to do so. Some idiot from Boston would likely get his panties in a bind and call the police, and I'd have to answer some questions, but I would be free to go on my way with my gun on my hip. Nevada, in its entirety, is an OPEN CARRY state, aside from North Las Vegas and Boulder City, where you will get arrested for open carrying in either of those two towns. From my experiences carrying openly, people are much more friendly. People say hello to you. Imagine that! I also have a CCW for Nevada. The only time I've carried concealed in Nevada is simply because it was cold and I put a coat on which happened to cover my gun somewhat. Nye County is a fairly safe bet for no excitement over open carry - it is a bastian for libertarians. As I said, I go everywhere with my gun on my hip when in Nye County. I'm there usually at least once per month. I own a house in a golfing community so I can stay there when I'm out there. The clubhouse thats filled with guys just off the course, I go in with my gun on my hip and have dinner. I think many of them find it amusing. But I'm not the only one who does it. Its very common to see guns on hips in and around Pahrump. Being able to do that turns a somewhat dumpy little brothel town into paradise.

It is ironic that whenever someone tries to argue against the LAWS of supply and demand, they point to the "fools" who spend the big bucks and the "gougers" who get the big bucks. The only fool in this equation is the person trying to argue against the LAWS of supply and demand. Period. They are called LAWS for a reason. They aren't theories of supply and demand; it isn't a hypothesis of supply and demand. Its the law of supply and demand. Its the nature of the free market. Learn it. Live it.

Well, when I want something, I'll figure out a way. This is a serious gun, and I want all the things to enhance the gun and make it even better. I'm now working on scoring an extension tube, and hope to have one of those real soon, too. I'm doing a 4 day tactical shotgun class out at Front Sight in exactly 2 weeks, and want this gun to be all tricked out with the good stuff. Oh, I got the collapsable stock for $560 delivered. Kind of expensive, I know. But just to get an excellent Knoxx Ops stock for my Remington is what, around $180 delivered? And those aren't rare. So I paid a $380 premium for something actually made by Benelli, which is good, and is rare, on top of that. I thought the $380 premium was kind of steep, but I've seen these things go on eBay for $800+. So, it is what it is. The crappy thing is that I live on the Dark Side - in the Peoples Republik of Kalifornia. I can't legally install the collapsable stock unless I leave the state. Can't have a semi-automatic shotgun with a pistol grip AND a collapsable stock in Kalifornia. Those two components on a semi-auto shotgun are evil to people like Pelosi and Feinstein. So, the standard stock will stay on my gun at all times, that is, until I leave the state, which I do often.

I haven't put them on the gun yet. I have those to install, plus I just scored a collapsable stock that I hope to have by the end of next week. As for the sights, I can't get over how dim they are compared to the tritium sights I have on my handguns. My brother says that the sights for the long guns aren't as bright as with handguns. Don't know how much truth there is to that, but we'll see soon when I do a night shoot out in the desert with them.

Its on there now. Just had not installed it prior to the pics.

Is this milled like you are talking about? Verdict... 11707 as the box says or M1404?

I suppose the pics answer some of those questions. I paid $1550 for this gun. Yeah, its a lot to spend and not know, I agree. None of my research on this gun revealed the difference between the M1014 and the 11707, surprisingly. And the gun store employees didn't know the difference, again, surprisingly. Anyway, I'm headed to the mountains next monday to test it out. Any advice on what to run through it to break it in would be great. Some people have said that you don't have to break these in. I can't believe that. I'm confident I shouldn't just load it up with slug right off the bat and have at it. So please offer any thoughts / advice on what I should run through it initially. Thanks

I brought home my Benelli M4 today. When I bought it, I failed to check to see if it was the 11707 or the M1014. About a week ago, I called the gun shop and they told me it was the M1014. Well, I brought it home today and they were wrong - mine is the 11707. Unless I'm mistaken, the 11707 is the preferred model. Anyway, not much else to say. Aside from being very happy.

Thanks again! I ordered from Centurian. What I didn't like about them is that they don't offer a phone number so I could verify that they had stock prior to ordering. However, I put a note about that concern, and I received an email that told me that if it wasn't being shipped within 5 days, I'd get another email allowing me to cancel or choose to wait. Thanks again for the links. A big help. I need these for training at the end of May out at Front Sight.
