I'm gettin' one for a truck "carry gun"
ok... the "intrigue" reason too!
I have three buddies with rabbit dogs who say they work perfectly for them, when in the briars and shots are at 15 to 25ft w/#6 shot. The shallow slow rifling keeps the patterns effective at that range. That's with the early 2.5" cylinder & 3" barrel.
For me it's gonna be the 3" cylinder in blued finish.
There's some Utube videos out there testing them also.
I think it would make a great "house" gun with buckshot loads.
A common mistake when choosing a "house" gun...
is TOO MUCH gun!. Max effective range for 1shot stops; in the house, only needs to be 33ft! A round that can pass through a perp, 2x4 stud and 2 plies of sheet rock is TOO MUCH gun to "safely" discharge in a house with kids in the other rooms
God forbid, if it leaves your house and penetrates the neighbors house
JMHO
