I absolutely love my BPS 12. It is, IMO, the finest pump shotgun money can buy. Very smooth action right out of the box, excellent patterns with every shell I've tried. It is a little heavier than most of its pump-action competitors, but it's not enough to bother me. The only major drawback to the bottom eject is if you want to take it to the trap range. You can't just drop a shell into the ejection port and close the slide. The slide has to be forward, then the shell has to be loaded into the magazine tube, then the action cycled to chamber the shell. What I do is just leave the fired shell in the chamber, then when it's my turn to shoot I load a new shell, and pump the gun to eject the spent shell and load the live one in one motion. No big deal unless you have a range Nazi who wants to bust your chops for no ejecting the spent shell right away.
