First came across Benelli when I got involved in IPSC. Started looking for a shotgun so I could play in the 3-gun matches. One of the guys I shot with was a FFL and suggested this new gun, a HK Super 90. Said sure, since everyone else was Remington 1100's and 1170's. Got supposedly one of the very first in the country. Broke it in with what HK suggested and man did that thing run! Paid all of $400 for it (IIRC). Fast forward a few years (OK, decades). And I'm winding down my working career with a job in a gun shop. Saw a Benelli M4 14" Entry sitting new on the rack. Eyeballed it for the past 2 years and finally figuratively "pulled the trigger". Waiting on the NFA to do it's "thing" that it does "so well"....
