I came across this today. Didn't know it existed. Does anyone own one and can comment on its performance?

I'll post the images for you.

When these first hit the market here in Australia, I thought WoW, I need one of these.
Then I handled one. 2x4 lumber offcut, single trigger, same firing sequence 123,123, no ability to barrel select & each barrel choked the same.
My dreams were crushed, not my type of gun.

Also, there are a lot of second hand, like new, fired one box of ammo, for sale here. They do not stick to their first owners very well it seems.

One guy who shoots pest animals off crops (licensed to cull) uses one with buck shot from a four wheel motor bike & loves it.
Better off with an auto I hear you say, but an auto is a special license here & a bit of a problem to get & keep. The triple gets him around that a bit.

Fun gun, but I can have fun with an English double & not only 2/3 as much fun.
O.M

I agree with Moses. I shot one last summer handles like a fence post.

But if you are hunting Sandhill Crane or Geese, they are
a fine tool.
One of my skeet shooting buddies bought one of the camo and
3 1/2 inch guns and REALLY likes them in the cold field.
NO JAMS
He is very happy with it

P.S. with the screw-in chokes he does quite good at skeet
with the two bottom barrels

mostly now shoots 3" fast shot at game

I shot one for waterfowl for a few years. I liked it and ducks hated it. I would still have it but a customer that was leaving on a trip the next day had to have it so i sold it. Before I could replace it I found a 3in long barreled Beretta that has filled the void.

I've nothing good to say about them!
They handle like a log and swing like a dumbbell. If your target is moving, you have less chance of a hit with either of your first two barrels than you would with any reasonable double gun. And after that you're better off reloading the double.

I have not handled one, but that was my first impression when i saw these out there. The weight, balance and handling mist be horrible. If you need that many shots, just carry an autoloader.

I'd love to shoot one on my plate to see if all three are regulated.

Mark, how was the trigger on yours?

Not wanting one, just curious.

I don't think they would be too bad if formatted like a common drilling, with the third barrel nestled between and under the other two. This would be especially so if they didn't insist upon making them in 12 ga., and went to 16, or even 20 ga.
