Mine did lock up the pump with those cheapo Winchester shells however when it came to just general jamming I had it do it several times with Remington 00 buckshot. I've shot lots of 3 1/2" and some 3". I've also had it do it with Winchester Supreme 3" buckshot. Not sure if I've had it do it with Winchesters 3 1/2" or not but I'm thinking I might have. I don't think I've ever had it jam with Federal buckshot but I've only shot a box or two of Federal shells through it. It also does fairly well with Federal 7 1/2 or 8 shot when skeet shooting with it.

I think mine has just had a little something wrong with it. I'm not sure though and it seems to do okay now. I've heard of a few others having issues like me but for the most part most of the guys with them seem to have good luck. So I'd say it's more just that 9 out of the 10 guns are of decent quality. I think the quality control on these guns could have been a little better and I don't think people like me would have had any issues if it had been better.

I still like my gun okay though I guess. I just don't know if I'd buy it again. I'd more than likely go for the Benelli Super Black Eagle II or the Remington 11-87 if I was on a budget.
