New arrivals: Next gen shorty shotguns -- Kodiak & Desperado

no one answered the phone when I called, so Ill post in this thread... backpacker 2 12 gauge I just received, the hammer doesnt lock back if I try to #### it, is there some kind of trick to this thing, or do I have a defective one? (pull on the hammer is incredibly strong as well)

Wood is nice, fit and finish is good, no obvious blemishes. Action is stiff and trigger is not so great when dry fired. Hope to shoot it tomorrow.

That doesn't sound right, shoot an e-mail to info@canadaammo.com

A few people are on vacation right now, sorry boys.

Desperado looks to be sold out. We're getting more.
 
Got my Bandit last night. The Turkish Walnut is gorgeous and it passes the magnet test for all parts being steel. The metalworking and fitment seems a tad shoddy, however, and cocking the action is a chore (literally must be braced against the leg and cocked with an overhand grip; very heavy resistance). Hopefully it will become easier as it breaks in. Barrel does not appear to be chrome lined and this is an extractor model, not ejectors. Overall, I think this will be a fun little rig. Thanks Canada Ammo!

Got my Marine Kodiak yesterday , cleaned it and took it out today.
Shot the livin' bejeezuz out of it ! Put about 75 rounds of 00 buck through it. Must have shot 12 or so milk jugs , and 0 problems.
Very nice lil gun for the $ . We'll see how it holds up over time. Now I need to pick up a Desperado after seeing the pics.
 
Can you guys publish the weight of the guns as is?

Specifically, I'd like to know if the Kodiacs are comptable in weight to the Grizzlies.
 
Not sure about Kodiak to Grizzly weight ratio. What I can tell you is I find the Kodiak very light and compact.
Kicks like a lil mule with 00 buck too !

I don't know the weights, but grizzlies are heavy ... heavier than 870's, so these will likely be much lighter. grizzlies are built like tanks though ... all steel etc.
 
I'm very impressed with the new Backpacker 2. It locks up super tight and overall finish is good. Nothing flimsy about it. The trigger guard is the mechanism to break it open. That took a few seconds to figure out. It's stiff but if you keep your hand on stock and wrap index finger around it it pops open easily. It's not chrome lined. I put a few slugs and some 00 buck through it and no problems. It does pack a wallop though. It has a screw in sling swivel on the fore grip which I removed because the recoil made it gouge my hand. It's also notched out on the bottom of grip to allow trigger guard to fit into when folded, reducing folded size.
Nice little blaster.20170914_172647_zpsvupyybra.JPG20170915_184429_zpsfzngwxxe.JPG20170914_174427_zpsn8vssxvk.JPG

Just got back from the range testing my new Kodiak. Two misfires in 20 odd rounds. All shots have the pin hitting the primer off center. May have to send it back. Guess I'm not allowed to post a pic.
