    Congrats! Best choice for a shotgun to my mind. I have a Revelations brand from the 70s that’s the exact same gun, rebranded to sell in Western Auto Stores. It’s rattly and loose all over, cannot fail to function. Only malfunctions have been operator error.

    You gotta practice though! Shooting is a perishable skill. You don’t want to spaz out and short stroke it, forget how to clear a stovepipe, be subconsciously afraid of the recoil, stuff like that. Speaking of, I need practice. Bought these stupidly powerful shells for another shotgun that wouldn’t work with regular loads. Now that’s all I have and it hurts.

      Totally. I go to the range once a week.

      I also have been testing out different shells. Buying ammo is pretty confusing sometimes.
