Warning. Mine is in the shop right now because it fired accidentally when closing it after loading on a skeet range. It could easily have killed someone. It has a recurring malfunction in the trigger mechanism. My gunsmith told me these guns were poorly engineered - particularly in the way the almost paper-thin interiors of the stock sustain substantial force from recoil. I went to the shop and saw it myself. Really bad. Also, the relative spacing between the two hammer plates and the trigger mechanism is supported by the wood and is therefore subject to change as the wood compresses over time.
These guns are a wonderful part of history but I wouldn't want to take one hunting.
