I've heard some people say that when you get a 3 1/2" gun that when you shoot light loads (2 3/4')in them that they sometimes have a hard time cycling them. For instance my friend has one and he said his only complaint was that sometimes when he shoots a light load in his gun that he has to pump it pretty hard to eject the shell. But far as looks and all i like the gun, which i like remington anyways. But open to everyones 2 cents
