Same gun as the Chiappa Triple-Threat?
 
I know it's not the way you guys do business, but man I wish you'd list stocking dealers. I've looked up and/or called 5 different stores, none are stocking this gun.
 
Wow, this is a very good looking over / under !

Churchill by Akkar are very popular in Australia. Take a look at Youtube and you will see reviews from the Aussies, mostly positive, about these Churchill there.

There is even one model that is not brought to Canada, as far as I know, and that is the combo 30 inch / 20 inch barrels in 12ga. Aussies get it though... However it is not as elegant as this one...

I own a CZ Canvasback since 7 years now. It is actually made by Huglu, an over / under in 12 ga (from Turkey as well)... Too heavy but a tank. And the fit / finish / quality vs value are very descent. I got it back then for 800$, it did not get cheaper these days.

Akkar shotguns are one notch higher than Huglu I think. They have some refined models in the Churchill series.

I owned a Yildiz 20ga side by side lightweight as well but sold it after 2 years of light grouse use, it did not fit me that well... Yet a very descent shotgun for the price...

And prior to my purchase of the CZ back then, I made allot of research and asked on many forums as well as Gunsmiths and I was encouraged to go for CZ (aka Huglu shotguns) because they were reviewed to be more reliable and durable and better finished than the Mossbergs, Stoegers etc of the same grade.

Now I was one click from ordering one, I thought I can get this Churchill and then sell my CZ Canvasback later, but after looking carefully at the photos that started this thread, and others from the web, I am a bit hesitant. It seems that the wood finish is not as attractive as it looks in the official company ad photos.

And it even reminds me of the wood of my ex-sxs Yildiz 20ga that I sold last summer.

I asked North Pro if they can send me some actual photos and will see if I can make up my mind on it.

This been said I personally prefer wood tone on the brighter side and in addition to liking the wood of the one in this video (that looks like a lower scale model), I wish they brought the combo model to Canada! the 20 inch barrel for Grouse is great I think

How are those so cheap? I didn't even read at first past the first pictures because I figured it's a 3000$ gun! I still think I couldn't shoot it lol.

These guns were produced for a country that became sanctioned and this resulted in a tremendous special buy for Canadians.

I'll bite, what are inertia triggers and why don't I want them?

Basically inertia triggers are a single trigger that is reset to the second barrel by the recoil of firing off the first.
Some "higher end" shooters claim that when firing light loads there isn't enough of a jolt to set the second barrel and then they miss a shot.
I've shot more than a few thousand light loads and never had an issue with my beretta but apparently it's big business switching inertia triggers out for mechanical ones...
I would say if you're looking at this gun you probably aren't shooting at a level where you care by what mechanism your trigger resets .
