Anybody formed an opnion on these yet? Looking at one for the fall. How are they doing in the real world? Thanks, Rick35.

Two friends had them last season. They functioned well throughout a decent duck season. They also function with 1 1/8oz loads.

They DO kick more than a gas operated gun. If you are shooting a lot of 3.5" shells (especially hevi-loads) I would recommend that you see your dentist first to make sure all your fillings are secure.

My duck hunting buddy and son got 3" A5's this summer and they don't miss a beat. Only one feed issue with a federal shell in 1000 on the sons.
They cant wait to get them in the swamp.
I tried a few shells through the one and its a typical inertia gun - a little more kick than a soft gas auto.


Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

the stock dimensions are weird and the palm swell on the pistol grip is whacked out. I was really thinking of getting onebut as soon as I picked it up and mounted it I saw that it wasn't for me. I hated it. Their customer service sux too.
