7+1+1? I guess I missed something on the M4.

Thanks guys, if I could, I'd go out and buy it tomorrow. But right now it's looking like I won't be able to get it until Feb. I was looking at the Sidearmor Rails, and you bring up a great point, weight. I have held this gun alot, and it is fairly lightweight. However, the sidearmor rails look like they add quite alot of weight for an extended top rail, 4rd sidesaddle, and a single short rail on the side to put a light on. I plan to just put an Aimpoint T-1 or a Trijicon RMR on it for a simple red dot. I cannot see myself putting anything more than one of those on it for a sight, if any at all. So I don't know if I need that much rail. Don't get me wrong, I love rails just as much as the next guy, but I am used to shotguns that only hold 6+1. So this 7+1 M4 will be a new experience for me. As for the Meprolight sights, do they have the white ring around the vials for daylight shooting? So far as it is looking, this is how I will start off on my M4: Benelli M4 Kip Ti Magazine Tube Meprolight Night Sights Aimpoint T-1

Thanks for all the great replies everyone. I have seen Kip's Titanium tubes, I just am unsure about the strength and durability as my only experience with titanium is the slabs on my Leatherman Charge. So pretty much sidesaddles are out of the question when it comes to M4s? Also, just another question I had pop up in my head while I was out researching. Tritium Night Sights, is there any for the ghost rings on the M4? Another question, I am thinking about mounting a flashlight on the shotgun for when something goes bump in the night. I own a Fenix LD20 but I am willing to spend roughly $100-$120 on a new flashlight and a mount for the shotgun. Reccomend me something? Thank you everyone, I have asked these same questions at many other forums only to be chewed out about being a newbie and never owning a Benelli before. My simple reply is "I'm 20, in college, working minimum wage at McDonald's. No I don't have a Benelli, I lucked out and got my 870 on sale brand new with a mag extention for $250" Also, are there any LEO's on here? I am curious because I am currently studying Criminal Justice in order to hopefully become a police officer. How would this shotgun serve as a duty shotgun?

Hi all, new guy here. I am currently looking into picking up an M4 with the money I got refunded from college. This will be my first Benelli and my second shotgun (first was an 870). I plan to use it as a HD/Hunting shotgun. However I have a few questions. As this will be my first Semiauto Shotgun, how is the relability? Where/how can I find the collapsable stock for this? Are there any 6 shell sidesaddles for it? I want to install a magazine extention, I plan to buy one from SOCOMguy here on these forums. How hard is it to remove the existing magazine tube? And finally, for all those fellow folks from Michigan, is it legal to hunt with an magazine extention installed on a semi-auto (or any) shotgun?
