Got it today. Great communication with the folks at Wolverine. I also got a Fab arms handgrip. Needed some die grinding but its a big improvement. The stock handgrip is a bit small for even my danty hands. Disassembled it all. Very easy to do so. The polymer is fairly easy to bend along the sides of the gun but no major issue. The stock, everything locks up tight. Ran some dummy rounds though. Ill need to figure out a fast way to reload both sides for 3 gun but Ill figure that out. Loading is simple to do. Ive always wanted a shotgun that loaded from the top with the barrel below the mag so this fits the bill. Did a warm application of frog lube.

I also mounted an OD green Eotech I had kicking around. I think I like it. Its a nice feeling able to have 14 rounds loaded. With selecting alternating tubes or one then the other. For 3 gun ideally one will have slugs and one birdshot for quick switch over.

I might do a range report since Im sure people are still worried about the reliability of these guns. I wont do a tourture test but Ill run it through its paces.

I plan on going this weekend. Trying every type of ammo I have. Bird, buck, old imperial from 30 years ago, slugs, defensive rounds, different makes, manufacturers.

To all the haters, yes I have a bunch of pumps. Not sure Id trust my life to this gun just yet. But god it makes the kid in me happy. Im proud to be able to spend my money on stupid sh*t

To me it looks like a marine gun from SC2

How has the gun been so far for you?

I'm gaining interest. Purely for its uniqueness and wow factor. Appears to be a well thought out design too. (Any issues?)
Wolverine now stocks the newest/latest version right?
 
Im glad you asked. Took it out. Shot every kind of shell I could find. Probably well over 100. First day. No issues. Loved it. Second day, and Im going to contact wolverine about this. Major malfunctions with feeding. The top cover would pop out since the next shell fails to feed and lifts the shell directly up. I found myself being careful to pump but that doesnt instill confidence in me. Now like I said. Im going to break it down. GIve it a good once over. Contact wolverine. Take it out this sunday again. But if the issues remain Im going to have to have a look at the return policy. Theres no way I could sell it. Im too honest and nobody would buy a gun that "Fails to feed 50-100% of the time. Im HOPING its a minor fix. When it worked it worked well enough. But yeah. Im not putting away my 590 just yet.
 
Google reviews on the thing. I don't mean to be pessimistic about your new purchase but it didn't have a single favorable review. The feeding issue was very common in all the review videos i watched.
Sorry about your issues with it.
 
Wolverine suggests really tightening the front of the barrel at the compensator. ?? This fixes tne FTF issues.
Grumpy said this in an old UTS thread of theirs.
 
I have checked reviews as well, and watched several video run-throughs with this firearm, and I keep seeing that convoluted feed path. I don't see how that can ever be made bet-your-family's-life-on-it-at-2am reliable.

The UTS15 seems very much to be,overall, a solution in search of a problem. As the Colonel would say, 'Yes, but what is it for?'

JMHO.
 
I see it as an offensive shotgun, not a defensive shotgun. Having a door breacher plus with inflated capacity and all.
