My buddy has one and I shoot it at least once a month. For how long it is (28 inch barrel), it feels very light. Causes a bit more recoil than my other 12 gauge shottys, but not bad unless you are putting 3-and-a-half inch goose loads through it (those KILL my shoulder). Great gun overall, just don't pay more than 450$ for one- they can be found cheaper than this if you do your homework. Hope this helps.
