I love mine (no pistol grip, Defender). It has cycled EVERYTHING perfectly, and the Aguila Mini-shotshells work flawlessly in the 1300 (they point this out on their site). The action is very smooth, you can put a lot of lead in the air very quickly. This is the gun I keep next to my bed at night, not my AR, not my Rem. 870, not anything else. For the money, it is a great gun.
