I still want one.

The MR1 is a "Self Defence Rifle" not the shotgun.

Had mine 11 years now and not one problem with it, I would not hesitate to buy another Benelli product.

I went from an 870 Wingmaster (wish I would've never sold it) to a S&W to a Beretta to a Benelli. The only one that I liked as much as the Benelli was the Wingmaster, but it was an old 80's model that was only 2 3/4", which is why I started upgrading. At the time, I was in school and had no money so had to sell one to afford to buy another.
