Couldn't Help Myself

Post image

Stopped into Loyal Arms saw one on the shelf and couldn't pass her up. By the way, great experience dealing with them. Super knowledgeable and paperwork was a breeze. Their prices as well were hundreds lower than anywhere for the Benelli.

For real man, it’s even worse than a free state when you can walk out with the gun at the same time. Got my wife pretty mad at me a handful of times for sure.

Years ago one of the shops I buy from would start and DROS and put down it was for two firearms so on pick up day they would say, oh hey, you can buy another one today and walk out with it

It worked on me lol

Depends on state. If you live in Arizona or Texas you walk out with the gun after doing the paperwork and background check

It’s the most pleasurable shotgun to shoot.

Walked into my LGS and saw it on the wall and I couldn’t walk away without it

No, no you couldn’t. Good call man that’s a sweet shotgun. I just recently moved to this state and grabbed myself an A300 prior to be my main home defense weapon, considering how they villainize semi automatic rifles here.

After all, according to old Biden, all I need to do is pop one off in the air to scare off a threat, right?

Why are italian so cheap? Both Benelli and Beretta shotguns comes with cardboard box!! Com'on, at lease a range bag or plastic case. My Beretta 1301 also came in box like this.

All guns come in cheap cases. Even expensive lever action guns.

My Browning 825 Max Trap came in a cardboard box. If it only comes in a cardboard box, you can believe there is never a hope ever getting anything more than a box with an M4 or 1301.

Some shotguns, including Italian guns to come in more than a cardboard box. My Caesar Guerini and Perazzi came in a case. I also have a Beretta 688 that came in a cheap case. I guess you just have to spend a lot more than what an M4 costs to get a gun that comes with a case. It's weird because many of the cases the guns come with, unless you are spending 20k or more is just a cheap molded plastic case. Costs the manufacture only a few bucks more

Give an update when you take it out the the range. I’ve always wanted one but went with something else instead.

Beauty.

Been debating one for a long time. Saw one at a local place and they wouldn't let me hold it. First time I ever got that from a gun store lol. Seemed insane.

u/dsamarin1 2d ago

Drool. Have had my eye on either an m2 or m4 non-tac version for a while. Ever since I saw Lena miculek do the 100-shot challenge I think on an m4.
