As stated above, they aren't pretty, but they are reliable and accurate. I've never shot one of their slug guns, but my 14 yr old daughter can shoot a 1/2" group with her .243 Handirifle (better than her dad can shoot for sure!). A single shot may slow you down, but I believe most single shot shooters tend to be more accurate in their shot placement. My old man used to be able to regularly put two ducks down in a fly over with his single shot 12 guage, so one can get quick at reloading.
