Templar, old is relative, she's a young'un compared to the 8-shot Auto-5 I sold to bring her home. I was sad to let the Auto-5 go, but "nothing gets you over the last one like the next one". I figure I traded up to a younger, lighter, more athletic model. Of course these analogies are not spoken of around my wife!

That Sig/Benelli is a great combo. Have the same guns myself, Sig P228- HK/Benelli M1 Tactical. Is yours a P220 .45ACP? Love those and I am trying to find a good deal on one as soon as funds allow.Originally Posted by Falboy

Yes, it's a P220, but I do have a P226 and P228 as well. How does your Benelli run with the light on. I tried my Nordic Comp. magclamp/light mount w/Surfie G2 on. It wouldn't run reliably with Federal 100 packs. I imagine it would with 00. I just put the light back on my 870. I really love having the "Ghost Load", takes practice but I'm getting good at it, my Nelli is an HK import too.

The Surefire light works great with buckshot, slugs etc. The Federal 100 pack ammo makes it slow operating and occasionally doesn't cycle completely. I just pull the light off and install the factory forearm and shoot all 100 rounds in a session to make it worth the effort. I hardly ever use slugs and keep it loaded with various buckshot sizes so repeated disassembly isn't an issue with losing ghost ring sight zero. The Poly-Choke on full setting keeps patterns pretty tight out to 40 yards or so.
I like the extra shell on the carrier as well and it was my decision maker for getting the HK model. I find that I can carry 8 rounds with chamber empty and chamber that round very quietly if need be or load to 9 rounds if time allows. I agree, It does take a little getting used to though. BTW, XS Sight Systems makes a Standard dot and Big dot tritium front sight that they apparently don't like to advertise but will sell over the phone, about $68. I tried the Meprolight setup on a friends M1 and they weren't really for me. To much bright blur on the rear and no real advantage in the daylight, the XS front (I got the standard dot) is very easy to see during the daylight. lol,I been wanting one since I was a teenager to, I'm 31 now and just got it 2 months ago. Bought one about 3 years ago but someone put a side saddle on it and pinched the receiver so it wouldn't work at all and had to return it for refund at the store.

My humble "upgraded" 870 Expresses
Top: Express with Scattergun Tech follower, 18" Police, rifle-sighted barrel.
Bottom: Express with Scattergun Tech follower, mag spring, Trak-Loc sights, and Surefire 618FA.
I hope to further add slings, Vang Comp safeties, and Youth stocks to both as well as a +1 tube to the rifle sighted gun.
