I really felt bad for the poor bastard. His shiny new toy turned into a pile of shit right before his eyes. He just packed up his stuff and left.
I don't know if there are better options out there now or not, since I've got a great shotgun and am not in the market for another one. But I'll never forget that first impression. |
Yeah, that's why I'd want to see someone else take one for the team and run one of those through it's paces before i put down anywhere near that kind of money. Heck, I've seen expensive semi-auto shotguns jam up bad at the range or the clays course, and it's not pretty.
Years ago I saw what was then a new combat semi-auto shotgun jam on nearly every round at the range. And the jams were the kind you had to use pliers to clear. I just remember making a mental note not to buy that brand and model for HD use. As a toy okay.
If it was reliable it would be a good platform. Or at least one that I might take a second look at.
