I had one that was a 12 gauge semi auto and I fired maybe 700 rounds without a bit of a problem,but I am a small framed person and I wanted a 26" barrel,I had a 28" and it just felt too big. I tried for 2 months to get one from the factory and they told me they didn' t know when the would be able to get any parts as they are made in turkey and they are having a civil war going on over there,so I sold it and bought a remington 1100 with a screw in choke system.I took a $150 loss on the deal,but I still that I came out ahead on the deal. sj
