Handle one. I think you will like it. I'm getting one for Quail. I normally use a Supernova, but the Vinci will swing better for flushes that give the unwary some mud butt. If you don't use 3 1/2 inch shells for waterfowl the Vinci is a good choice. I've put a case of Heavy Dove through a Vinci and really liked it.

Read some reviews of the 105cti...lots of problems. As for what a gun looks like thats a total nonfactor.
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

They jammed like a big dog. I disagree regarding looks it is totally a factor for me. I ain't spending a 1k+ on something I think it ugly as sin. I know everyone doesn't have that opinion but it is mine.

IMO, the Benelli Vinci, SBE and Browning Maxus are the best duck guns out there right now. I have a Vinci and love it!

Not at all, we need someone to spend $1300.00 on a new unproven gun and let us know if it is worth a chit. In all seriouseness, you should stick with Benelli, Beretta, or Browning. Go see which one fits you the best and go with that.

I have hunted with a Vinci for a year now and it is really nice. The guys I hunt with all use Benellis and they seem to like it when allowed to use it in the field. Very balanced, nice feeling. I haven't had a dime's worth of buyers remorse on it.

dude, you know you want the Vinci, the hardest hitting, blackest waterfowl gun on the market....
I like mine so far. Only been on a couple dove hunts and 6 teal hunts but after three of the teal hunts I had to break it all the way way down due to water/saltwater and it cleans real easy.

I know everyone doesn't have that opinion but it is mine. My point is the looks of a shotgun is a total nonfactor when it comes to performance, fit, and feel. So to me it's a nonfactor at completely...some who like pretty guns I guess disagree. Pretty much any shotgun that is in camo or just plain black is ugly IMO...but having a gun that's pretty or ugly doesnt matter as far as killing ducks. To me a waterfowl shotgun is a tool used to kill ducks. I don't buy hammers based on how pretty they are. If we were talking about clothing, trucks, or mounts then to me looks play a bigger part.

have the vinci and am extremely satisfied.
Someone already said it, but go to your local gun shop have them lay out 4-5 guns and then shoulder them and see which one fits you best. For me, it was the Vinci but you might be different.

I own two Benelli's (M2 and Cordoba) and love them.
My buddy Swede above with his new fangled Vinci that looks like fidos butt and breaks down like a pool cue seemed to do OK with it even though he called a few birds that I know I shot.
Time will tell if the Vinci is all it is cracked up to be.
My suggestion is if you do a lot of goose hunting, get the Super Black Eagle. If mostly dove and ducks, I would do the M2 which is 3" magnum, all you need even for goose.
If your not the lead dog, the view never changes.

Not to me. I would have to put on a blindfold to take a Vinci out the case.

dude, you know you want the Vinci, the hardest hitting, blackest waterfowl gun on the market.... My Maxus is waaaay blacker. In fact I think someone called it "the Blaxxus" I like the way the Vinci feels, but it don't shoot 3.5" and sometimes I need the extra pattern.
Wasn't born in Texas, but I got there as fast as I could.

I don't have a Vinci and don't plan to buy one but if the only bad thing anyone can say about it is it's ugly then that's a pretty good thing for the Vinci.
I think the only reason people say it's ugly is it doesnt look like your traditional shotgun. People don't like a lot of visual change normally. But if you look at many of the new shotguns that have come out the last few years it's clear this is a trend.
