When someone does try it out for a long while I would like to know how it does as well

I haven't had 1 for a long while, but have had 1 for a few months. Used it hunting pheasant & duck. I'm very, very happy with mine. Lightweight, fits me perfect, cycles fast & sure, just a great gun. It even cycles the 1 oz field loads that the manual says not to use (I have the 3.5" chamber). Biggest thing is the fit - this is the 1st shotgun that has really fit me & my shooting really reflects it - critters don't stand a chance now!

I have the 3.5" chamber, 26" barrel, mossy oak breakup model & I highly praise it. Comes with shims also to adjust the stock. The grip is also slimmer than some guns, which I like, seems to give me more control.

Handle this gun as well as other brands & pic according to your budget & how the gun fits you. Everyone is different & has different proportions. My 2 cents....

I don't own one, but I've been lucky enough to put a couple of thousand rounds through a friend's. Understand, the following comments are coming from a guy that owns a Beretta.
The fore end is slimmer than many guns, not quite as slim as either the Beretta or the Benelli, but still adequately slim enough. The action is smooth, though during firing I did hear a bit of a 'ping' sound (it's natural though). The gun balances well and points well. I could shoot it nearly as well or as well as my Beretta.
After a couple of thousand rounds that I've put through it and probably 5000 rounds my friend has through it, it hasn't had a hickup. Though you do need to clean it after about every 300-500 rounds.

Ditto on the last review. I've had mine for a year now. It is a great gun. The thing I like most about it is the simplicity of the action. This gun is extremely easy to clean.

Word of caution though... make sure you clean it before your first use. It may sound obvious to most, but a buddy of mine forgot to clean his before he took it out to the range. It got all gummed up from the grease that it came with from the manufacturer. After a good cleaning though, he hasn't had a problem since.
