It's a poorly engineered design AND built by a company that is well known for shoddy manufacturing. I broke one on the 2nd or 3rd DA dry fire in the largest gun store within a hundred miles of my home. I apologized and the salesman thanked ME, happy that it didn't fail for a new owner.

A friend of mine bought a lightly used one and we both shot it, thoroughly impressed with the bottom-chamber concept, it absolutely redirects recoil and muzzle flip.

If a real, quality gunmaker ever tackles the concept, I'd definitely try it. But Chiappa makes crap, and this is NO secret.
