Sulun Arms SS-211 at Tactical Imports!

I think the impetus for this design was to make it as short as legally possible.
There's plenty of other guns available with full sized stocks, and longer barrels.
I'll put up with the quirks for something different.

If it's really that difficult for someone to break the action, you could fashion an extension tool that slips into the barrels to give you more leverage. I have an old break action pellet pistol that has a plastic helper like that.
Makes all the difference.

Absolutely, 23 inches will always be shorter then 27 inches.... no way around it. TI mentioned they will bring in some longer barrels down the road for people in BC that might want to shoot a grouse and still be legal.

You are also correct that most guns on the market are not this small, but not many that are 3-4 inches longer.

Have you handled one? I checked one out, and usually I sort of brush off the people concerned about shooting their hand with short barrelled pumps, but in the case of this gun, and given the multiple reports of bump fires in this tread.... it's a definite possibility that a person not holding on tight enough could have their hand slip forward off the fore end and then the bounce off their shoulder with the short stock could reset the trigger for a quick second shot....

I'm over 6 feet/200 lbs, pretty sure I can handle an extra 4 inches in length and a few more ounces of weight and if it means a nicer shooting gun well I will take it.... :)

I hope they continue manufacturing this size..I would prefer a couple inches of barrel length but definitely not the stock, wish it was even shorter like the triple threat honestly, don’t plan on shouldering it anyway, would prefer an 14” pistol grip variant if it existed..my wrists can shrug off more than my shoulders pun intended lol
 
Seems like a pistol grip version would eliminate bump firing too, or just a few inches of barrel, wish the Chiappa wasn’t 2500 bucks if you can even find one, seems like a bit of a steep price even to get three barrels aligned

That's where a strap on the fore end would really shine, allowing a more solid push-pull technique when shooting free hand. The gun as is balances pretty well with the short stock and barrel, a bit longer in both directions would help keep it balanced.

As the gun is right now, with our silly laws, if you add a custom thicker recoil pad, and the new over all length that results is less then 26" you would be on thin ice.

Thanks for the feedback Jacotsmith,

What do you think about a slightly longer stock? Maybe not full size but more of a youth size say 2 inches longer then the current model?
I know some place a premium on over all length but I'm thinking the extra 3-4 inches of a slightly longer barrel and stock would improve handling at the cost of a slight weight and length penalty. Another bonus of a slightly longer stock would be easier fitting of aftermarket recoil pads.

A Lazer Arms XO12 or an Armed Trimmer (which I have owned both), or a Seraphim Armoury Pale Rider fit that bill, and are certainly far more practical for hunting. But to echo other posters' and my own earlier comments in this thread, the extremely short OAL of this model is appealing even if it isn't as practical.

I plan on using mine as a hiking companion, and where I live in the Yukon I bump into bears every few years and as such want to have a firearm on me, but those occasions are the exception to the rule which means for the other 99.999% of the time I'm just carrying it. It might not be the best gun in the world for hunting and may take some getting used to with its quirks, but it's better than your bare hands or a pointy stick in the rare instance one might need to fend off something big and hungry. And those few less inches and pounds are definitely welcome on long, daily and (thankfully uneventful) hikes.

That makes sense to me..... and more importantly, it makes sense to you.

You folks that are saying that it is shooting backwards, if the selector is to the right, it shoots under first and to the left it shoots the top barrel first. It says in the manual that the opposite side of the selector is suppose to be visible to show that barrel is shooting first. Hope that helps calm your uncertainties about your defective model haha. I haven't found anything wrong with mine except a tight break and a less than stellar butt pad

Sure are some broken attitudes as far as being courteous goes...

Judge not lest ye be judged.

EE price complaints typically only break 2 ways...... free market capitalists on one side, and rent control advocates and "nice guys" on the other side.... :)

If you don't like the price make an offer or move on..... it's still a somewhat free country.

My main point was making people figure out that it was a defect model by deducing that it was a steel reciever with ejectors and knowing that only defect models were offered in that configuration, but of course everyone decided to go after the strawman argument of free market vs nice guys. As a side note I would say that taking advantage of our current political climate (that everyone on here #####es about) for a profit is pretty objectively disagreeable but go ahead and argue that its the free market, it is, doesn't make you any less of a ######

Dude lighten up, I understood all of your posts.....I'm just trying to spell it out for you as an outside observer, your complaining about civility while insulting people.

You think the seller is greasy for the reasons you stated, some others person disagreed with your assessment, and now you feel people in this thread are not being courteous to you.

As much as it infuriates me to see those scalping practices, I know there's nothing I can do about it but not buy it from them and add them to my ignore list. I would love to see everyone being upset about this since those people usually only buy with the intention to sell for a premium (this means less availability for everyone else) on those sort of practices but since there's 50% of people saying it's fair and 50% saying it's not, I just choose to shut up about it. When it's gonna be a even more lucrative business like the graphics cards issue where bots are buying and reselling and you won't be able to buy a gun because in 6 seconds all 200 new items have been sold, maybe we'll talk about this practice again and how it's detrimental to the whole industry.
 
My SS-211 has been well received by anyone that's used it. I've been able to break in my factory defect model enough where the tight action is a non issue. I won't be selling it, and it'll continue to be using it as a range toy and a handy shotgun to have for hiking, camping, etc.
