I've got one that was a gift from a friend. It's been flawless in operation, and shoots great. I like the grip. With birdshot, it's worthless. With 000 Buckshot, it's devastating. I use Winchester (smooth hull) loads. With a good holster it's ok for CCW, but not great. It's rather large and bulky making concealment troublesome. IMO, it's a fun gun or a by-the-bedside piece.
