Benelli Vinci

Have any of you guys seen or shot the new Benelli Vinci?

Any opinions on function?  Not a pretty gun but looks very functional.

It is weird looking in the NRA article but I haven't seen any in stores.They showed how it broke down and came apart in the article and I thought it was really well thought out.I would like to see one,might be a really good gun.

I was at a Tom Knapp shot 2 week ends ago and they had a try me shoot before the show. I watched the Benelli guys fighting to get jams out of the Vinci repeatedly. They were shooting Remington Light Dove and Field loads. I would guess that a hottrer shell is required.
And yes they are a very ugly plastic gun.

I saw one in a gun shop, and the salesman demostrated its modularity and how easily it disassembled for cleaning.

The question is why?  I own a few different shotguns, and they are all easy to diassemble, mostly without tools.  So why manufacture this ugly, dorky-looking gun?  Beats me.
