I remember watching The Terminator as a kid and falling in the love with the SPAS 12ga the Arnald used minus the stock. I don't hear much of them anymore besides the occasional listing on a forum. The Benelli M3 & M4 are better options....as I'm told. Complaints of the SPAS are it's weight, safety or lack of one, and I can't remember the rest of the negative press it gets. Does anyone know of it's strengths? Should we steer away from them if given the opportunity to get one?
