Re: Bought a new gun recently?
My Saiga 12 took several HUNDRED rounds to break in and start to function flawlessly.
All of my recent purchases have been things on the wish list that may not be available soon with what*s recently transpired.In America arms are free merchandise such that anyone who has the capital may make their houses into armories and their gardens into parks of artillery. - Ira Allen, 1796

Re: Bought a new gun recently?
Sometimes you have to work for what you want. I bought a Kahr years ago, even though they take a few hundred rounds to break it in. I bought a Sig P365 before all the bugs were worked out, and I had to send it in when it didn't work right. I knew what I was getting into both times.
I wonder if the shotgun was a new model that hasn't had the kinks worked out of it yet?

Re: Bought a new gun recently?
I noticed within the last couple of years a lot of new tactical shotguns on the market. My advice to any one who wants tactical shot is to stick to what works. Mossberg's 590, remington 870, Benelli all have been around for awhile and have been adopted by police and military. Secondly every gun should work right out of the box. There is no need for a "break in " period. Especially in these days with the ammo situation.
Another thing I'll mention is fascination with bullpup designs. Yes they look cool but do you really want a shotgun shell going off just below your ear?
Leave the turkish bullpup and the generic look alike shotguns for the amateurs. Get authentic shotguns that have proven themselves.

Re: Bought a new gun recently?
The trend now is people getting that "one gun" before it's too late.
My guess is a Black Aces. It's only tac gun in stock at my dist, I was going to get a few till I read the reviews and BBB complaints on them. That cracked me up who does BBB on a gun MFR?Owner Trigger Time LLc 01 FFL/NFA Saylorsburg, PA. Sales/Service/Transfers/Training

Re: Bought a new gun recently?
I've noticed in a couple shotgun threads that posters suggest pump shotguns more reliable than autoloaders. I can't comment on newer models because I have none; but my Browning Auto 5 has 800-900 shells through it and it has never jammed. My Re mington 1100 from the 70s is just as reliable.
