Hi

Well Picked up one of these today


Got it home and after fondling it for a while I became concerned it looked like the hammers were not connecting with the firing pins. So I grabbed a box of 5 12gage slugs and went to my local indoor range (they only allow slugs fired in shotguns) So I stood there broke it open and loaded two closed pulled the trigger and well for the want of a better word BOOM. This was actually my first time firing a shotgun. never felt recoil like that in my life. But i have to say the group of 5 slugs was only 5 inches apart on the target.

needless to say it works fine. Damn glad I bought a recoil pad to go with it

MOST hammers are of the "rebounding" type. They do NOT hit the firing pins except when fired from full cock, and then "rebound" back a little for safety reasons. Being in direct contact with the firing pins by the hammers when not actually firing is a good way for accidents to occur....

I didn't realize that at first but now I see the point of rebounding hammers
