FN's P-12 shotgun

Just picked this up the other day. Essentially it's a Winchester SXP Defender with a few more bells and whistles. When these first came on to the market they were in the $600 range. I guess FN discovered that people really didn't want to spend that much money for an updated Winchester, as this one was $389 shipped.

This is FN's only pump shotgun. Comes with an installed IC choke, flip-up rear sight, cantilever rail, and fiber-optic front sight. Cycled a few rounds of buckshot through it to check function and was getting some hangups, until I started cycling them with "authority" and then they worked fine. Maybe just needs a break-in or I forgot that some pump guns can't really be babied.

Curious that the manual doesn't remind owners to remove the plug before attempting to load more than two rounds into the mag. Evidently some folks thought that the mag was defective until informed otherwise.
