Well bout a month ago I got to purchase one of my most favorit shotguns the SPAS 12. Ive spent the last month on my range testing it. As we all know its big, very big almost to big for me to shoot with a coat on. Im 5'8 170lbs. Its incredibly complicated to operate andtake apart. In short not the best choice for a combat shotgun. Personaly I love all the pros and cons aside, its a awsome gun to shoot. not pratical but its a amazing gun for my collection. Itll spend more time on the wall than the range. im more of a collector than an a full time shooter. Due to my work now. But its still a nice gun to look at.
