I got to see one of these at a gun store a couple of weeks ago. It was dissapointing. The barrel of the .223 is open, so if your hand slips off the pump, sizzle "Ouch!" The barrel was also skinnier than a mini-14. There was only one action bar, instead of 2, I don't like single action bars ever since I broke the one on my twenty+ year old mossberg.

Ergonomically it sucked. It took several hard core gun nuts a few minutes to figure out how to work the action. (No we are not stupid, it was just confusing). The button to switch from rifle to shotgun was dang near impossible to use. Overall if felt weak, cheap, and cheesy.

I thing that a rifle shotgun combo is a great idea. But it could be done a lot better than this thing. Maybe I'm being to harsh. I've never shot one, this is only my opinion from playing with it at the store. But at $1,700, I'll probably never shoot one.
