If not then my new 12 ga is a POS. My gosh the recoil this gun produces, and this is only 2-3/4 shells I'm shooting. I normally don't consider myself weak but after only three shots my shoulder is a little sore. Lets just say you defiantly won't mistake this gun for a Beretta.
Also every time other than once when I fired it I would rack the slide back unintentionally from the recoil and it would grab the empty shell. That may be my fault, but it's something I can't have happen, and I've never had it happen with any other 12 ga pump whether it's a 870, Mossberg, my old Winchester 1912, or whatever other pump action shotgun, but this gun does it very easily for some reason. I need to figure out how to prevent that from happening. It's a Winchester SXP Defender BTW.
