They are available in 12, 20, 28 and .410.

Trigger was about 8lbs.

These are waterfowl alternative guns, instead of a semi-auto. Swing dynamics for that application would probably be ok. Not an upland gun in any way. If I still pursued ducks, I would n't mind trying one out.

I know the MOI would be far from what I'm used to. But, the 10+ lb. 32" L C Smith 10 ga. I used to hunt with some was, too. I could kill ducks with it with no big problems.

My thought about how it would handle are running along these lines ......... it's got 28" barrels, so more of the weight is nearer the balance point than it would be were the barrels longer.......... a long armed man, like myself, can place the forward hand a little farther forward and change the dynamics a lot. I think this is a "trick" often overlooked by shooters. Placement of that forward hand really changes how hard, or easy, it is to get a gun swinging or stop it.

I haven't seen or handled one of these, but Italian version from Chiappa is a crowbar. Old ones made long ago in Central Europe had thin barrels and were actually good handling three-barrel shotguns.

A "crowbar" handles just fine if you know how to handle it.

Nope, one is better off buying modern Beretta autoloader. Better handling and with migratory bird plug removed more shots between reloads. My ca. 1972 Remington 1100 while not as nice as modern Beretta and is showing age in design is still far better choice than this three-barrel abomination.

That totally depends on who that "one" is, as someone who cut my shotgunning teeth on a SXS I can't stand carrying, or shooting autoloaders or pump shotguns, on the other hand I wouldn't mind trying one of these, just not for 2K $$!!

Now, you see, there is my problem.
My mum says that everyone is good for something & you just gotta use em as you find em.

Once upon a time in a gun cabinet, in a time not long ago & a land not all that far away lived a fine drilling & a cheap clunky $100 U&O.
One dark night there was an unholy union & from that a bastard child was born.

I am in total agreement with TMair, deliver me from anything which doesn't hinge in the middle. I want no part of shucking a pump gun & I surely don't want no slam/jam-O-matic.
