what did you decide to get?
Colt complete pencil barrel. I'll tell you when it actually shows up in my hands.
They are getting harder to find at a low price and Potus is causing greater demand. CDNN is currently sold out.
I got a copy of Shotgun News yesterday and it shows many off-brand choices and even more components. I have no idea how many are really in stock. In my case, as a first one, I really prefer a Colt based on advice here and my own prejudices.
