I've never owned a Benelli, or shot one, or even held one. I think the M4 is a cool gun, but my first impression of the company isn't as high as I thought it would be. Why do they keep everyone in the dark? If it's the end of the year, I'll wait. I'd just like to know. Sound like everyone's guessing and going off of hear say.....???..... Oh well, no big deal.
