Other than the button in the bottom of the forward handguard to switch from semi to pump and back, it really is not much more complicated than any other gas op shotgun. They are fun guns to shoot with, just not great to use for more serious work.

Heavy it is. For a comparable shotgun with the same or close to the same number of rounds loaded, it is ~2 pounds heavier. I still see some at the shows going in the $750-$1000 range. Almost always used, of course. It also takes up a lot more space (bigger, bulkier) than other guns made by others for the same pupose.

A much better alternative is the Benelli M3Super90 if you are looking for a pump/auto. Still pricey but much easier to handle.
