People either tend to love AR-style shotguns or hate them. The biggest complaint inevitably is the magazine. 12-gauge AR style magazines do not load quickly. They take a little practice and technique. But if you have several of them loaded, switching them out is super-fast. I loved the ergonomics of this gun because I shoot a lot of AR-15s. We had a few times when the gun failed to go fully into battery. This may be a “breaking in” period, and other reviews mention the gun needing a good cleaning and sticking to high-velocity shells to make it cycle. However, for less than $400, this gun came with a lot of features. The spring-loaded, folding sights were similar to Magpul. An adjustable cheek riser, M-LOK compatible forend and a Picatinny rail for optics all come standard.
