It MUST be a good gun as it has REM Chokes

The recently departed Tristar was also a 12 gauge, a fatal flaw for a three barrel gun, in my opinion.

Not 100% sure, but I believe you might mean the Hollenbeck Gun, made in Moundsville, West "By God" VA..Any loaded and reliable gun you have in hand is a "home defense gun" when the drugged-up gang bangers target your home. About two weeks or so ago, a retired couple in an upscale Kentwood (Grand Rapids area) MI were shot stone cold dead by such a dirtbag-and their fairly new Cadillac was later found abandoned and torched about 5 miles away-- Want to guess how they were targeted and not any of the neighbors? They advertised the ir Caddy as For Sale on Graig's List- with photos showing it parked outside the curved lawn, home address, front door, no ADT signs or dogs in their photo, and of course, being the trusting sort, made their name and address available. Just a word of warning in this, today's scumbags have become Hi-Tech scumbags- look at all the Apple I-Pod rip-offs and smash and grabs-IMO-- best weapon for home defense is a reliable 12 gauge Riot shotgun- I prefer a pumpgun, and loaded with OO buck, with the spare rounds carrier, and also a charged cellphone handy-

I don't think it's fair to compare this with a drilling. The double bbl over a rifle in certain areas can be a down right handy tool (bird hunting out west when you bust bowinkle outa the bush) - I know a couple people that love that little savage dirty-dirty over 20ga.

In a tatical environment - it's a joke. You can find a lot better for $1500.

Home defense, if it's all you have - then great. But, if your going to spend 1500 smackaroonies, you can do much better.

Also a fan of the pump shotgun in the house. Buck/slug/buck/slug.

Hello all...as someone who uses a double exclusively for waterfowl, I could see tri barrel gun being very useful, especially when one has to chase down cripple goldeneye ducks. The weight would keep the recoil from 3" shells from battering the shooter. Assuming it has auto selective ejectors, one could keep steel 7's in one barrel for the inevitable coup de gra(sp?) and your heavy shells in the other 2 barrels.

All sorts of possibilities here.

I am fairly certain it is not an ejector gun. Even the Germans didn't fall into that trap.

Eightbore,
There were(are)German(&Austrian)drillings with ejectors.I agree that the problem is that it is 12ga.
