I shot a five pack of the buck, and brought along an old box of high brass #6 shot (1960’s vintage) for anyone else that wanted to try it. They finished that box in short order. Everyone liked the little Mossberg, and I know of at least one guy who went out and bought his own, as I shot it a few weeks later.

The Mossberg holds six rounds of three inch 12 gauge shells; the Remington holds five. I don’t know about the 20 gauge ones they make now, but I’d imagine they’re the same.

I had no problems hitting with it from about half way between the 3/4 hip and point shoulder positions, but anyone without threat focused shooting training may have a problem, especially if they hold it up in front of their face so they can look over the bead. I would NOT recommend trying to shoot it that way. It’s also very easy to shoot from the hip from a recoil standpoint, as long as you’ve trained to shoot that way.

Thanks for the info bro, much appreciated.
