I recently had my beloved Remington 870 stolen. So, I want to replace her with the sexiest, expensive high-end "tactical" 12-ga money can buy (in the $2k area). I want a Semi-Auto, and I've narrowed it down to the Benelli M4 and the Saiga-12. I want your advice on which one and why.
The Benelli M4 would need the mag tube extension added. I'd probably keep the solid stock for now or add the pricey collapser later. I like the M4 Super 90's reputation for reliability and in my arms I feel like I could do some respectable room clearing with her (I am former LE and current military Reserve / in the security business). My experience with Benelli in the past has been great and the M4 Super 90 is King.
The Saiga-12 would be converted to fit the pistol grip (AK style), maybe be fitted with a side-folding stock at some point as well as maybe the JP Magwell. I am familiar with fielding Kalashnikovs and, again, respect their reliability. The Saiga can fit mags of greater capacity than the M4's tube and can be reloaded "faster", but not topped off as quickly.
I am sure I would win with either one, but I am curious if any of you have experience regarding these shotties and would be able to shed some light on which route I should take. Thank you for your insight and please make a suggestion and let me know as to why you feel that way.
