EAA baikal M81

[Palomine]

Anyone have an opnion on the EAA model M81? I have never owned a shotgun and am considering this one as a an additional home defense weapon. It seems to be relatively inexpensive and I like the way it loads. I own several hanguns in varios calibers and this may be my first step toward ownig something that has a barrel longer than 4 inches. I would appreciate any comments or opinions. Good or bad!
Thanks

Palomine, a shotgun is a terrific HD weapon in trained and capable hands. IOW, having the hardware isn't enough, some training is mandatory if you want to be effective. And why have a weapon for HD otherwise?

And,many folks aren't all that happy with shotguns. Neither Wife nor Daughter likes shotguns, so there's alternatives they can shoot comfortably here...
