how long has this model been out? cant find anything on a search of this site about it.

seems its pump and semi (like the SPAS?)

reliable as the M1? same inertia drive or gas?

thanks!

It's been around since the early 90's, I sold my SPAS to get one.

The only thing mine doesn't like (shooting in semi) is some brands of low base and those crappy Activ all plastic shells. I usually just shoot them in the pump mode to avoid any problems.

It's a better shotgun then the SPAS but the SPAS just looks so damn cool. Plus I liked the forearm grip on the stock that let you shot it one handed, like it's really necessary.

Same as the M1 just has the semi/pump feature.

IIRC, since 1989 or 1990.

Inertia. It is essentially an M1 with a forearm that can be unlocked and travel with bolt via action bars.

About 2 pounds less than a SPAS-12, one round less (maximum capacities), less bulky.
