OK, I took the plunge and ordered the Benelli MP90S. And it was a BIG plunge. This by far the most expensive gun I have purchased in 20 years of active shooting. Some of my older guns in today's prices might match it but it still was a hunk of change. I sure hope it is worth it! Can't wait!

It will be probably a month before I have it in my hands as the transfer dealer has to snail mail his FFL, checks have to clear, shipping, and the CA waiting period. That all assumes everything works right. There is a new wrinkle in CA where any out of state dealer sending a gun (pistol or rifle or both???) to California has to fill out paper work for CA DOJ before the CA dealer can accept it. More stumbling blocks!!!! Ammo is next, I'm sure.

300H&H:

On the IZH35M, I shot one that a friend who lived out of state owned. At the time the gun could not be purchased in CA (not on any list of acceptable pistols). When it finally got on the list I tried to order one but EAA stopped importing it. It was a unique gun, that's for sure. I don't think it had the accuracy of even my S&W Model 41, though. Hopefully the Benelli will best the S&W Model 41.
