I have the 14-inch pistol-grip model with rear aperture and front post sights, with fibre optics inserts. I love it, my favourite fun shotgun along with my Beretta 1201FP. I use it mostly with the thread protector on the barrel, with buckshot or birdshot on various non-serious targets. Very smooth, quality feel. I have also got the full-choke tube, and used it to take a couple of turkeys a few years back. It was good out to about 40-yards with #5 Winchester Supreme turkey loads. Two potential complaints for some folks: first, the long forearm will, as mentioned by others, leave scratches on the receiver. Mine is used a lot and shows it, so it doesn't bother me. Second, the full-choke tube lengthens the gun by about 4 inches, which quite changes the look and handling and can be off-putting for some shooters, but most of the shooting you do will likely be with no chokes so no big deal.
