Bolt mate.
Can confirm bolt, picked up my tacticool version on Thursday, yet to shoot it though.
I picked mine up Friday, fired two boxes through it over the weekend. Fairly light - kicks like a mule ... admittedly with heavy field loads, and consistently jams on the 4th/5th shots. They seem to both come out of the clip mag at once. Happens with both mags .... was hoping it would have settled by by now.
Shoots low despite sights being at highest adjustment ... and that rear sight is a little flimsy. I don’t want to adjust it much higher or the whole thing will just drop right off. And the front sight post is canted ever so slightly to the left. Can’t be adjusted, so just have to live with it. Solids (Fiocchi) print a roughly 3” group at 50M using the open choke.
And despite what you may have heard, you can shoot clays with it - perhaps 50% of the time!! There’s wayyyy too much going on with those open sights, so it’s a mostly point and hope for the best affair ... but this was always gonna be the case!! Was never designed for that.
Totally looks the goods though ... even the wife reckons it looks sexy
