Well, it got here yesterday and I was able to put 10 rounds thru it today. I'm pleased. Really a nice handling and sweet shooting little gun. The magazine tube is a tad bigger than the barrel and the two together remind me of a stack barrel 28 gauge. Kinda.

Not much kick at all - I thought I might need some kind of a recoil reducer, but it's very pleasant to shoot. It was a little hard to chamber a round at first but is getting smoother - good trigger too. The 20" barrel balances really well.

I like the Hi-Viz sights. They sorta jump out at you and will probably be great for snap shooting 800# charging black bears. (Dreamer.)

At $1.50 per factory round I really need that group buy mold.

Negatives - the Pine Tar finish and the irritating safety. Still happy. :mrgreen:

Looking forward to hearing how it does for you. And somehow, that Bowie seems to matchup with a M92.

I know a few guys have stripped that factory finish off, and refinished with real good results. Steveb and some others have done a really good job.
