I have a pistol gripped one and have had nothing but fun with it.

That said, I only use 2 3/4" upland shells in it after one box of 3" steel 3s printed "Ruger" on my right shoulder in black, which then turned blue, green, yellow, pink.... NOT a "heavy duck gun".

And the current asking prices for them are ridiculous. My brother bought two for around $1600 each a few years ago, and gave me one.

I love this gun, my brother, and Ruger. But for $3K+, there are better buys out there, for sure.
