I was considering buying a Benelli M2 or M4 semiauto yesterday but left empty handed after I looked them over carefully and decided they just weren't for for me.
I found the M4 a bit too heavy for my tastes and the PG stocks on both guns didn't quite work for me, as neither did the ghost ring sights. The real deal killer however was the high loading effort both guns required, I had thumb troubles with the lifter and I found the magazine spring pressure immense even considering it being a new gun.
Some of this can be chalked up to unfamiliarity, and the M2 at least can be had with other sights and a stock that would probably fit me better, but I think I'd be much happier with the Ithaca 37 custom I was thinking of ordering.
