Benelli M4 question

[Links2k]

I’m ready to get a M4. I’m torn on whether or not I want one with the pistol grip or one without the pistol grip. Those who own  or have shot M4’s what is your preference and why?

 Thanks!

[MacGyver]

Mine has it. I’ve grown to prefer it.

I could maybe speculate that I like it because it allows me to have a similar grip amongst the platforms I spend the most time shooting. Whatever the case, it’s comfortable and seems like it belongs there

get a pistol grip, better ergonomics, while I don't have a M4, I do have a spas and it's similar.

I have only had the pistol grip M4 so I cannot compare to a non-pistol grip style. However, I am a big fan of my M4. It shoots great, the recoil is stiff but manageable and the pistol grip is at a decent angle so you don't jam up your wrist if you shoot for a bit. The only complaint at all I have with the M4 is the dang bolt release "button." I know some people make after market options but I am hesitant to mess with "the most reliable weapon system" in the marine corps armory as one general put it.

I have one which came with the field stock, (no pistol grip), finally got my hands on a pistol grip stock. Much better and easier to handle. Especially when getting older.
You can shoot this shotty all day with no sore shoulder. Like shooting an AR.

Did a lot of work on mine. It's easy to work on. My goal was to keep it tool free to disassemble. Still is.
Before and after....

I have the M1 entry shotgun.  The pistol grip is worth it if your shooting stiff loads.

Mine has a pistol grip, I am getting a 1301 Beretta mod 2 with a pistol grip as well. 
 

The pistol grip for me anyway makes the shotguns easier to get a good stance when shooting

Familiarity and use - 

Are you more familiar with either when it comes to shotguns? I'd lean that way in this case.

What do you plan to use it for? For defensive purposes, SHTF scenarios, door entry, and house clearing, I'd go pistol grip. If you have any (as odd as this may be I've seen it) thought of hunting, or shooting clay sports, I'd go standard stock.

I have an M2 for defensive purposes and went with the standard shortened stock, I'm more comfortable with it.

Mesa Tactical stock on mine.... love it!

Have the pistol grip collapsible stock it’s the most not way to go if you plan to use it tactically.

another vote for Pistol grip. and while you are at it check out Mesa Tactical's options to kit out the M4...
