I purchased one also. About 300 rounds so far without a problem. I know that's not a great test but that's all I have for now. The only negative thing I will say is the "butt stock" mine has the pistol grip coming down from the stock like yours I guess, but the thing is really cheap feels like if i drop it it will crack, it's hollow inside and if you take it off you will see how thin it is. I am going to get some other kind of stock ( don't know what kind yet not a lot to choose from that would fit.) But I think the shotgun overall is going to be ok. Lets put it this way, it's as good or better than any of the other inexpensive brands out there. You are going to have your 870 Rem. and Mossberg guys getting on you now, saying for just a little bit more money you could have one of them. Which you can, but the way I look at it mines just an inexpensive knock around gun that I have less that $200.00 in so if something major happens or it get's stolen no big loss. Just my thoughts.
