I absolutely love mine I got this year. Patterned extremely well with 9's, but the 9.5's were also responsible for some turkeys death this year as well.
I had shown it to several buddies and even allowed a couple to use it as the shooter on hunts together. I did no convincing on my part, just allowed use of the gun itself, and now a couple of those buddies have since gotten themselves into one for next season already.
I cleaned sand from Mississippi from the beginning of season out at the end of season after being taken all over the place. No hiccups in between.
The only thing I do not like is you must release the follower and have a shell "floating" in order for the gun to operate past the first shot. I've owned other SA shotguns before and haven't had this issue, but it's not a real issue just maybe a small design flaw? It's similar to how you can "ghost/float" a round in a Benelli, but it doesn't allow for a 4th shell with the plug in because the follower is already dropped not allowing clearance for a 4th cartridge to be loaded into the tube. Maybe it isn't a design flaw, but rather a design to stop the ability to "ghost/float"
Either way, I absolutely love mine.
