Only time will tell. If you like the Ithaca design and are willing to spend the money on a pump gun, they are for you. I can't make the mental jump comparison from high quality double guns like Connecticut Shotgun to a pump however. Personally, I have never liked having to load thru the magazine. That was my biggest gripe with the BPS, although the three I had never faltered once. For all the ooohing and aaaahing over machined and hand fitted parts, they don't function any better or last any longer than a Wingmaster. Their biggest hurdle would seem to me to be that most Ithaca lovers already have one or more, and the newer shooters all seem to want the cheapest pump available or a 3-1/2" Semi.
