I totally agree! I was very pleasantly surprised. I'm really glad I got it. Now if I could just find a turkey within calling distance to try it out on!X2 on the tristar. I was hesitant on the pistol grip because I've never owned one but I love it. Holding the pistol grip and looking through the red dot just all feels right when I shoulder it.
I MUCH prefer a pistol grip on my dedicated turkey guns.Top contenders:
Tristar viper 24" barrel
Mossberg Sa-20 tactical turkey. (Not sure about pistol grip)
Stoeger 3020 Turkey. (Don't like the sights)
I have read that one of the leading brands is marginal for safety pressure wise. That is a concern for me.Any concerns with the autoloaders and the high pressure TSS shells? Seems like they would be more likely to break from excess wear.
