This is your review? A line and half?Can't be THAT farking awesome.
I bought a quite used HP9 14incher and have put about 400 rounds through it of basically every shot size, LOTS of 000 buck and maybe about 60 slugs. Not a SINGLE malfunction. Yes its pretty punishing with the buck and slugs.
My 870 Policemagnum on occasion likes to kick the shell back out when reloading and block the loading port if I dont make sure I push it all the way until it clicks. Not really an issue but when I have gloves on it will snag the glove.

haha its a great little gun. heres a better review
the fit and finish was good for a cheap chinese knock off shotgun, it cycles shells nicely for being brand new and hadnt given us any hang ups at all. even while cycling through them fast and blasting 5 shells off as quick as possible she didnt miss a beat. we tore the #### our of paper targets at 10 yards like it was no ones business, blew apart snowballs and cut down wooden posts holding up targets, that was an accident but none the less the gun ripped them apart and made short work of the plastic backing pieces you staple the paper too. the small game shot tore targets in half after 4 or 5 shells aswell. she fires well from the hip and was reliable the entire day even in the negative temperatures and snow that came down on us. for a cheap shotgun its a work horse. everything fits together well and it cleans up nicely. the only things i didnt like abou tit, the fore end came loose, i guess i need to locktite that big ring nut in place and the trigger assembly is in there real tight and needs to be persuaded to come out. aside from that there were no issues with it. recoil wasnt but either but we were wearing jackets and sweaters so im sure come summer with larger loads itll prove different. the tube the shells sit in was scuffed up a little bit from use. oh and the first shot took the battery cover off my cheap tactical flashlight, and with it sent the batteries flying.
a great investment in something that looks like itll last a long time and if it doesnt, well it was cheap. quite easily the most fun was had that day with the shotgun.

Bang for the buck, its a nice little shotgun. I just picked one up yesterday, and am about to go and pick up some shells to test mine out today...its got some good weight i noticed, and i am curious as well on how its gonna treat slugs
i wish i could find some cheap slugs. anything i find is a little over a buck a shot. ive got a box of 15 that ill fire off but aside from that probably not many more too often. thats just too much money for something youre blowing things apart with for fun. if i were using a precision rifle where every shot counts then yeah a couple bucks a shot isnt bad, but this thing here likely wont get many slugs through it. unless i find a large quantity for cheap
i think next weekend were hitting the range again so ill see how it treats my shoulder with slugs.
