I cannot seem to find any pics of this shotgun aside form the one CanAm has.

Any owners wish to share?

What is the overall length?


Thanks.

If your planning on buying one. Remember... Buyer Beware.

A lot of people on this forum are having issues with the forestock falling off everytime you fire. My buddy has one and he's pretty pissed off about it.

Based on the photo above, why would you buy a single shot break action when the option for a 5 shot(or is it 4?) pump gun is available?

TDC

I just like the shortness of it. I plan on buying a high quality sawoff in the future but for now this cheapy gun will have to do.

TDC has a good point.....the backpacker is a pretty heavy gun for it's size and a grizzly with a 12.5" barrel and a short houge stock like the one pictured above is is only 3 or 4 inches longer with 4 in the tube.

or a full 18 inch barrel shotty with 5 +1 and a pg = more practical... but i agree i really like the short db shotties

 

[THX-1138]

whats the difference between the grizzly, and the norinco "homeland security" ? all the pics i've seen of the grizzly look identical to the homeland security that I picked up from frontier last year

The above is a 14" HP-9 with a Houge Short LOP stock on it.

However, it has a slip on recoil pad that adds around 1".

The Backpacker is lighter and smaller for sure.

The biggest reason I bought it is that it come apart (camping) and hell, it was $150!

Mine doesn't fall apart when fired and is very well finished.

The homeland security is made at another factory that the HP9/grizz. They usually have chrome bolts.
