Gary, it's kinda like Fords & Chevys as far as I'm concerned. They're both great guns and there are definitely differences in the stock dimensions. Like your Berettas ... I never saw a Cirori that I didn't like.

We could have the stock cut down to fit her petite frame and with the 23" barrel it would have made her a dandy little gun. Nope... she didn't like it and I couldn't convince her otherwise. I should have bought it anyway right then, but really had no use for it for me so we walked off. Less than a week later I decided what the heck, I'm going to go ahead and buy it. You know what happened, right?
As for the Special Field 1100, I sold the little gun to raise funds for a new duck gun. I thought ... "Heck, I'll never need this thing anymore".
I promised myself recently that I would NEVER sell another gun unless it was a financial situation that directly threatened my family.
