Thanks much Gunner. I managed to find that information after I posted this but, I still have yet to find any kind of review out there for this gun. And that fact alone makes me a bit nervous considering it. The price and the external hammers are what makes it attractive but, I still wish someone could tell me more about it. I've also been pointed toward Stoeger coach guns which seem nice and lack only my beloved hammers. External hammers aren't a necessity but, they're simple and visibly cocked or "safe." I'm also looking into some possible baikals...if they're still imported. Much credit to Magnum for pointing me that way in another post. I don't have enough time spent with any of them to make an informed decision so, I look to those wiser than myself in these things for help. Any information you guys can give me on any of these fine shotguns would also be helpful. Or if anybody point me toward another of the same type and and close in price I'll look into that, too.
