I had and used one, they are more of a pain then they are worth. you have to use 2 1/2 Inch shell. which are sometimes hard to find,they are ok for small game if you only want to play around. some say they are good in an emergency. but will you have it and ammo in a real emergency.

I never felt good about taking my sighted in deer rifle apart and hunting small game then putting it back togather and deer hunting at deer camp. to many things can go wrong normally you don't have to add other factors that may cause a miss or missfire.. but they add $400.00 to the cost/ value to your rig JMO grin
