(1 out of 5) DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!
by Chris from Cincinnati, OH on November 29, 2024

This gun is a hot piece of garbage! Bought it and then took it to the range. Ended up with misfires, stovepipes, failure to feed, failure to extract. The rounds were all EXPENSIVE high grade, high FPS slugs as required by the manufacturer and the weapon would not cycle properly. The primers were clearly struck and did not discharge the weapon. They tell you its a great deal for $270 for a $700 shotgun but you'd be safer throwing it at the target as opposed to trying to actually shoot at it. Just walk away from it. It looks cool and the price makes it look even cooler but OMG this gun is TRASH!!

(4 out of 5) Cheap but efficient
by Michael F. from Columbus, OH on December 18, 2024

I bought this gun and the first thing I did was break it down, clean off all the shipping grease, and tighten everything up when I put it back together. I put 75 rounds through it to break it in. The first 10 were rough, but after that, everything was smooth.

(5 out of 5) Carefully Read Instructions & Do Research
by MaKyle from Reynoldsburg, OH on December 20, 2024

There are bad reviews for this shotgun on the internet, but I have found with the videos I watched and from experience that if you use the proper shells 1300+ fps then you should be fine. It has a rough break-in period generally which is stated in the owners manual, but I only had 1-2 failures to feed out of roughly 80 shots. Be sure to take it apart when you buy it, clean out the grease, and re-lube moving parts.
