Have had no issues with it and it shoot perfectly! 4/17/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Brandon SPARTA, TN Man for a great price this bad boy is hard to beat I've put 50 rounds through it so far it is well worth it in my opinion 4/8/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Benjamin Iron station, NC Easy easy easy 3/30/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** JOHN Orlando, FL Great price and easy to use shotgun. 3/26/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Calvin Cordova, TN This gun is awesome, me and my buddy bought one. You want be sorry if you get one 3/19/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Stephen Mount Wolf, PA Love the shotgun and the service. Only 4 stars because the user manual that was delivered with the shotgun was far less than adequate. Can’t even find adequate directions on-line 3/13/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Verified Customer It is a great shotgun for the money ($219 in 2024) but your ammo selection will determine your reliability. It would be best if you used high brass shotgun shells that have a HIGHER velocity (13 45 ft./s or higher), and the 3 INCH shotgun shells will reduce feeding issues from the stick Magazine. The higher velocity three-inch rounds increase recoil substantially when firing but it's a trade-off to ensure greater reliability. Stay away from drum magazines because even with the abovementioned, you will have at least one to two hangups per 20 round-drum. Do not expect this weapon to fire as fast. It is faster than your pump shotgun but much slower than your AR rifle. (Think of any revolver) Hope this is helpful... 2/29/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Jeff King, NC Pleasantly surprised with this purchase. Impressed with the quality of this gun, especially considering the low price point. Solid weapon, no rattles or loose parts. Mag release is very firm but will loosen up a bit with use. Overall, a great gun for a fantastic price. 3/9/2023 ** ** ** ** ** ** William Manchester, TN Very nice gun for the price. I was able to get this gun at the $220 price point, opened up the box and took it to the range. Ran 100 rounds of federal field load through it with 0 difficulties. Wish I would of got a 2nd one. Shipping was fast and on time. I highly recommend ordering anything you need from KYGUNCO. 3/8/2023 ** ** ** ** ** ## Don't Forget Your Ammo ```json
