I bought one a while back from a great member of this forum. It is far and away the best pack gun I've ever had! I was up berry picking last month, and brought it along, and the ONLY downside was I had to keep checking, (and checking) to make sure it hadn't fallen out of the holster. It's that light! I bet I checked two dozen times during the course of a day.
I've run three boxes of factory shells, and some of my more "smokey" hunting loads (too much 2400 behind a 300 gr. hardcast), and yeah it does bark a little. Not nearly as bad as the 10" non-ported 45-70 barrel does on my Contender though. It is surpisingly accurate given the short sight radius. If they made one with a longer barrel, I would buy one in a hearbeat.
