The problem I had with the SuperNova’s was its long 14.5-inch length of pull. Why Benelli sticks with it is beyond me. But the Mesa Tactical Urbino with its 12.5-inch LOP foxed that.
The GlideVault has an attractive, low-key, design that blends in and doesn’t attract much attention. Put it on a shelf, stack some books around it, put a picture or a plant on top and most people probably won’t notice it.
The eye finds a green dot more quickly while maintaining visibility in bright light, resist washout and perform better in fog, haze and other complex backgrounds.
