Anybody have the scoop on these as far as performance, reliability, etc?

A few years ago I bought the .410 as a joke to take bunny hunting.  I also got 10 round mags for it.  I have had no problems with it and it is kind of fun to dump 10 rounds of .410 into a a paper target.  Good gun on the bunnies too.

I don't personally know anyone who owns one of the larger gauges.  For the price, it is a good gun you can knock the crap out of.  I don't think I would use it for personal defense.  The mags are cumbersome and hard to change quickly.

Ross, I was at the local gun store on Saturday afternoon. There was a young guy 19 years old looking at this gun. They had a 12 gauge and a .410. The 12 was very cumbersome so he bought the 410. After he left the store I handled both. Very AKish. If you like AK's that is good. If you are like me that is very bad. AK's are the anti-AR. MIKE.
